Alright, we can turn the word problem at the beginning into an equation.
Let's represent oregano with "o" and peppercorns as "p".
o=p+17
Also, we know that the two added together are 253 pounds.
o+p=253
Since we know that o=p+17, let's substitute it into the second equation.
(p+17)+p=253
2p+17=253
-17       -17
2p=236
p=118
So, we have 118 pounds of peppercorns. (Although it's irrelevant to the second half of the equation, we also know we have 135 pounds of oregano)
Now, let's convert pounds to ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, multiply 118 by 16....
118*16=1888
So, you can make 1888 one-ounce bags of peppercorns.

Oregano=o
peppercorns=p
o+p=253
o=p+17
p+17+p=253
2p+17=253
2p=236
p=118
there are 16 ounces in a pound
118*16=1888
Hope this helps :)

Sammy's Sandwich Shop has a mean delivery time of 25 minutes with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. Determine the z-score for t
Jlenok [28]

Answer:the z score is - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a normal distribution for the delivery time of sandwiches by Sammy's Sandwich Shop. We would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = delivery times

u = mean delivery time

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 25 minutes

s = 2 minutes

We want to determine the z-score for the number of sandwiches delivered in less than 23 minutes. It becomes

z = (23 - 25)/2 = - 1

26 inches is how many yards
AlekseyPX

1 yard = 36 inches

The fraction  (1 yard / 36 inches) has a numerator and denominator
that are equal.  So the fraction is equal to ' 1 ', and we can multiply
(26 inches) by it without changing any value.  That'll change the units
of the '26 inches' to 'yards', which is exactly what we need.

(26 inches) x (1 yard/36 inches) = (26/36) yard

                                                 That's  13/18 yard, or  0.7222... yard.
