So, there is a rectangular park with longer side (length) 150 yards and shorter side (width) 125 yards.
so walking around the rectangular park once is like covering the Perimeter (p) of the rectangular park.
So, lets find the perimeter of the park.
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + w)
= 2 ( 150 + 125 )
= 2 * 275
= 550 yards
Now, walking around the park two times is like doubling the Perimeter of the rectangle. So, when Debbie walks around the park 2 times, he covers the perimeter of the rectangular field twice.
i.e. Debbie walked 2 * Perimeter
= 2 * 550
= 1100 yards
Now, If Debbie wanted to walk 1,000,000 yards, she has to walk the rectangular park (1,000,000 / the Perimeter of the park)
i.e. 1,000,000 / 550
= 1818.18 times
So,
(a) she walks 1100 yards
(b) She have to walk 1818.18 times
Answer:
27 chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
A chicken farmer also has cows for a total of 30 animals
Both animals have a total of 66 legs
Let a represent the number of chicken
Let b represent the number of cows
a + b= 30........equation 1
Since a chicken has only two legs and a cow has four leg then, the expression can be represented as
2a + 4b= 66........equation 2
From equation 1
a + b= 30
a = 30-b
Substitute 30-b for a in equation 2
2a + 4b= 66
2(30-b) + 4b= 66
60 - 2b + 4b= 66
60 + 2b= 66
2b= 66-60
2b= 6
b= 6/2
b= 3
Substitute 3 for b in equation 1
a + b = 30
a + 3=30
a= 30-3
a= 27
Hence the farmer has 27 chickens
SOLUTION:
A normal distribution would model this situation because the distribution is approximately symmetrical, thus the mean, median and mode are approximately the same and the population size is large ( greater than 30).
