If we change everything to the same denominator it will look like this. 24/30 and he wants to take 10/30. 24/30 - 10/30 is 14/30 so 14/30 - 10/30 is 4/30. *He can take 2 1/3 pieces*

Jamie has 8/10 of a candy bar, and wants to split it into an unknown number of 1/3 pieces. Our objective is to find the number of pieces.
Let the number of pieces be x.
To know the portion of the candy bar each piece is, we divide the total portion of the candy bar by the number of pieces.
So (8/10)/x = 1/3
Multiply each side by x
8/10 = 1/3x
Divide each side by 1/3 so we can have the variable x on a side, and its value on another.
(8/10)/(1/3) = (1/3x)/(1/3)
(8/10) / (1/3) = x
Dividing 2 fractions is equal to multiplying the first fraction by the inverse of the second:
(8/10) / (1/3) = x
(8/10) * 3 = x
24/10 = x
x = 2.4

Since this not a whole number, Jamie can make 2 full 1/3 pieces, and a piece of 1/10.
Or, you can easily say that Jamie can make 2.4 pieces of 1/3.

Hope this Helps! :)

Factor to find the zeros of the function defined by the quadratic expression. −7x2 − 91x − 280
Mariulka [41]
There are no zeroes for an expression, only for equations.
Assuming equation to be
<span>−7x^2 − 91x − 280=0
-7(x^2+13x+40)=0
-7(x+8)(x+5)=0
by the zero product properties, 
x+8=0 => x=-8
or 
x+5=0 => x=-5</span>

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Yes  there is sufficient evidence to  reject the company's evidence

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The sample size is  n =  25

    The mean is  \= x = 5.3 \ mpg

     The standard deviation is  \sigma = 1.8 \  mpg

    The z-score is  z = -1.94

The null hypothesis is  H_o : \mu = 6 \ mpg

The alternative hypothesis is  H_a :  \mu \ne 6

 Generally the p-value is mathematically evaluated as  

           p-value   =  2 * P( Z

From the z table  the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    -1.94  is

         P( Z

=>  p-value   =  2 * 0.02619

=>  p-value   =  0.052

Let assume the level of significance is  \alpha = 0.05

 Hence the  p-value > \alpha this mean that

   The  decision rule is  

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

 There is sufficient evidence to  reject the company's evidence
