The answer is D because 6 3/4 in an improper fraction is 27/4. 5 1/2 in an improper fraction is 11/2. If you want to add 27/4 and 11/2, then you have to multiply both the numerator and denominator of 11/2. Now, 11/2 will be turned into 22/4. 27/4+22/4=49/4. Now, you have to turn 2 1/4 into an improper fraction to subtract. 2 1/4 will be turned into 9/4. 49/4 - 9/4=40/4. 40/4 is simplified to 10. So the answer is, D.


Hope that helped :)

The answer is D. No, the answer is not reasonable. It should be about 10 pounds. I know because first I converted 5 1/2 into 5 2/4 (which is equivalent). Then I added 6 3/4 and 5 2/4 together to get 12 1/4. Then I subtracted 2 1/4 from 12 1/4 to get 10. Hope this helped!  <span />

Factor the polynomial. 7x2 + 68xy - 20y2 A) (7x - 2y)(x + 10y) B) (7x - 10y)(x - 2y) C) (7x + 10y)(x + 2y) D) (7x + 2y)(x - 10y)
Otrada [13]
For this case we have the following polynomial:
 7x2 + 68xy - 20y2
 Factoring we have:
 (7x-2y) (x + 10y)
 We verify the factorization:
 7x2 + 70xy - 2xy - 20y2
 Rewriting we have:
 7x2 + 68xy - 20y2
 Therefore, the factorization is correct.
 Answer:
 
A) (7x - 2y) (x + 10y)

The size of the left upper chamber of the heart is one measure of cardiovascular health. When the upper left chamber is enlarged
Temka [501]

Answer:

a) 0.283  or 28.3%

b) 0.130 or 13%

c) 0.4 or 40%

d) 30.6 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

z-score of a single left atrial diameter value of healthy children can be calculated as:

z=\frac{X-M}{s} where

  • X is the left atrial diameter value we are looking for its z-score
  • M is the mean left atrial diameter of healthy children (26.7 mm)
  • s is the standard deviation (4.7 mm)

Then

a) proportion of healthy children who have left atrial diameters less than 24 mm

=P(z<z*) where z* is the z-score of 24 mm

z*=\frac{24-26.7}{4.7} ≈ −0.574

And P(z<−0.574)=0.283

b) proportion of healthy children who have left atrial diameters greater than 32 mm

= P(z>z*) = 1-P(z<z*) where z* is the z-score of 32 mm

z*=\frac{32-26.7}{4.7} ≈ 1.128

1-P(z<1.128)=0.8703=0.130

c) proportion of healthy children have left atrial diameters between 25 and 30 mm

=P(z(25)<z<z(30)) where z(25), z(30) are the z-scores of 25 and 30 mm

z(30)=\frac{30-26.7}{4.7} ≈ 0.702

z(25)=\frac{25-26.7}{4.7} ≈ −0.362

P(z<0.702)=0.7587

P(z<−0.362)=0.3587

Then P(z(25)<z<z(30)) =0.7587 - 0.3587 =0.4

d) to find the value for which only about 20% have a larger left atrial diameter, we assume

P(z>z*)=0.2 or 20% where z* is the z-score of the value we are looking for.

Then P(z<z*)=0.8 and z*=0.84. That is

0.84=\frac{X-26.7}{4.7}  solving this equation for X we get X=30.648
