Answer: x = 38.4

Step-by-step explanation:

7-x/3 = -1-x/8

1. Add 1 to both sides

8-x/3 = -x/8

2. Add x/3 to both sides

8 = x/3 - x/8

3. Multiply x/3 by 8/8 and x/8 by 3/3 to get the same number under the quotient

8 = 8x/24 - 3x/24

4. calculate the difference between 8x/24 - 3x/24

8 = 5x/24

5. Multiply both sides by 24/5, and there is the answer

38.4 = x

some psychologists believe that a genius should be defined as anyone having an IQ over 140. If IQ scores are normally distribute

denis23 [38]

Answer:

61,239,550

Step-by-step explanation:

We let the random variable X denote the IQ scores. This would imply that X is normal with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 17. We proceed to determine the probability that an individual chosen at random from the population would be a genius, that is;

Pr( X>140)

The next step is to evaluate the z-score associated with the IQ score of 140 by standardizing the random variable X;

$Pr(X>140)=Pr(Z>\frac{140-100}{17})=Pr(Z>2.3529)$

The area to the right of 2.3529 will be the required probability. This area from the standard normal tables is 0.009314

From a population of 6,575,000,000 the number of geniuses would be;

6,575,000,000*0.009314 = 61,239,550

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

17. A board 8 1/4 wanting to be cut out of the board are a number of pieces each piece 1 3/4 long

Convert both 8 1/4 and 1 3/4

8 1/4 = Multiply the denominator(4) by the whole number(8) to get 32 then add it to the numerator(1) to get 33, then put it over the original denominator to get 33/4. Do the same for the rest of the questions.

1 3/4 = 7/4

Divide 33/4 by 7/4 since we want to see how many times we can get 7/4 out of 33/4

33/4 ÷ 7/4

33/4 * 4/7, Changing the division sign to multiplication changes the fraction or number after it to the inverse of itself 7/4 = 4/7

132/28 - simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by 4

33/7 - She will be able to cut 33/7 boards

Converting back to mixed fraction, divide the numerator by the denominator to give 4, write it as the whole number then write the remainder, 5, as the numerator and use the original denominator 7

= 4 5/7 boards

18. Total = 50

One serving = 1 1/3 = 4/3

50 ÷ 4/3

50 * 3/4

150/4 - simplify

75/2

= 37 1/2 servings

19. Saturday = 1 1/3 = 4/3

Sunday = 2 3/4 = 11/4

In a week, she watches 4/3 + 11/4 = 49/12 hrs

In 3 weeks, she watches 49/12 * 3 = 147/12- simplify = 49/4 hrs

= 12 1/4 hrs

20. Total = 10

Sister = 3 1/2 = 7/2

Brother 4 1/5 = 21/5

Total given out = 7/2 + 21/5 = 77/10

What's left = 10 - 77/10 = 7/3

= 2 1/3 lbs

21. One day = 4 1/4 = 17/4

One week = 7 days

17/4 * 7 = 119/4

= 29 3/4 houses

Help if you can please

Answer:

10 coconut cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation: so, here is what we do since there is 8 cupcakes sold and 4 of them are coconut cupcakes we divide. this is hard to explain but we know that 8 divided by 4 is 2 so we have to multiply to 20 so like 2 times 10 which gives us 20. then we use the answer that we got from multiplying which is 10 as our answer if that makes sense.

On a coordinate plane, triangle A B C is shown. Point A is at (0, 0), point B is at (3, 4), and point C is at (3, 2). What is th

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The area of triangle for the given coordinates is 1.5 $\sqrt{4.6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates of triangles as

A = (0,0)

B = (3,4)

C = (3,2)

So, The measure of length AB = a = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2}+(y_2-y_1)^{2}}$

Or, a = $\sqrt{(3-0)^{2}+(4-0)^{2}}$

Or, a = $\sqrt{9+16}$

Or, a = $\sqrt{25}$

∴ a = 5 unit

Similarly

The measure of length BC = b = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2}+(y_2-y_1)^{2}}$

Or, b = $\sqrt{(3-3)^{2}+(2-4)^{2}}$

Or, a = $\sqrt{0+4}$

Or, b = $\sqrt{4}$

∴ b = 2 unit

And

So, The measure of length CA = c = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2}+(y_2-y_1)^{2}}$

Or, c = $\sqrt{(3-0)^{2}+(2-0)^{2}}$

Or, c = $\sqrt{9+4}$

Or, c = $\sqrt{13}$

∴ c = $\sqrt{13}$ unit

Now, area of Triangle written as , from Heron's formula

A = $\sqrt{s\times (s-a)\times (s-b)\times (s-c)}$

and s = $\frac{a+b+c}{2}$

I.e s = $\frac{5+2+\sqrt{13}}{2}$

Or. s = $\frac{7+\sqrt{13}}{2}$

So, A = $\sqrt{(\frac{(7+\sqrt{13})}{2})\times ((\frac{(7+\sqrt{13})}{2})-5)\times (\frac{7+\sqrt{13}}{2}-2)\times (\frac{7+\sqrt{13}}{2}-\sqrt{13})}$
