Answer: The required number of plants Nestor can [lot in 1 hour is 6.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Nestor works at a garden where he pots plants. It takes him $2\dfrac{1}{2}~\textup{hour}$ to pot 15 plants.

We are to find the number of plants he can plot in 1 hour.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the problem.

We have

Number of plants Nestor can plot in $2\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}$ hour = 15.

So, the number of plants he can plot in 1 hour will be

$\dfrac{15}{\frac{5}{2}}=15\times\dfrac{2}{5}=6.$

Thus, the required number of plants Nestor can [lot in 1 hour is 6.

15 divided by 2 1/2=6
Nestor can pot 6 plants in an hour. (I'm guessing that it said 2 1/2 hours)

Which two equations would be most appropriately solved by using the zero product property?

anzhelika [568]

For the zero product property questions it's choices 2 and 3 since they're quadratics factored and set equal to zero.

for the quadratic formula questions it would be answer choices 2 and 3 also because they're unfactored trinomial quadratic expressions

The line AB has midpoint (2,5).<br> A has coordinates (1, 2).<br> Find the coordinates of B.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

$X_m = \frac{A_x +B_x}{2}= \frac{1+B_x}{2}= 2$

And we can solve for $B_x$ and we got:

$1+B_x = 4$

$B_x = 3$

$Y_m = \frac{A_y +B_y}{2}= \frac{2+B_y}{2}= 5$

And we can solve for $B_x$ and we got:

$2+B_y = 10$

$B_y = 8$

So then the coordinates for B are (3,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that the midpoint for the segment AB is (2,5)

And we know that the coordinates of A are (1,2)

We know that for a given segment the formulas in order to find the midpoint are given by:

$X_m = \frac{A_x +B_x}{2}= \frac{1+B_x}{2}= 2$

And we can solve for $B_x$ and we got:

$1+B_x = 4$

$B_x = 3$

$Y_m = \frac{A_y +B_y}{2}= \frac{2+B_y}{2}= 5$

And we can solve for $B_x$ and we got:

$2+B_y = 10$

$B_y = 8$

So then the coordinates for B are (3,8)

the area of a mirror is 225 square inches and its width is 13 3/4 inches. Will the mirror fit in a space that is 15 inches by 16

Tems11 [23]

A = 225 in^2
W = 13.75

15x16 = 240 in^2

240/13.75 = 17.45 in

the mirror would not fit in a space that is 15 by 16 inches since its approximately 13 by 17 inches

At a local University, it is reported that 81% of students own a wireless device. If 5 students are selected at random, what is

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

34.87% probability that all 5 have a wireless device

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they own a wireless device, or they do not. The probability of a student owning a wireless device is independent from other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

81% of students own a wireless device.

This means that $p = 0.81$

If 5 students are selected at random, what is the probability that all 5 have a wireless device?

This is P(X = 5) when n = 5. So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.81)^{5}.(0.19)^{0} = 0.3487$

34.87% probability that all 5 have a wireless device

An underground mine elevator descends 12% of the total depth every minute. The total depth of the elevator is 75 meters below th

Katarina [22]

75/100 = 0.75

--------------------

12 x 0.75 = 9

* The mine elevator travels a
distance of 9 metres per minute.

---------------------

After 2 minutes, the mine elevator
would've travelled 18 metres,
therefore your answer is:

A: -18 metres
