Answer:
60ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's x, y be the width and length of the surrounding rectangle. Since the area is 450 sq feet, this means xy = 450 or y = 450/x
The perimeter of this rectangle is (since there are 3 sides only)
f(x,y) = 2x + y
This is something we need to minimize. We can start by substituting y = 450/x
f(x) = 2x + 450/x
Let's take the first derivative of this function and set it to 0
y = 450 / 15 = 30ft
so the minimum perimeter that needs taping over is
f(x,y) = 2x + y = 2*15 + 30 = 60ft
Answer: 0.9738
Step-by-step explanation:
This is solved by the probability distribution formula for random variables where probability of determining random variable X is given by
P(X=r) = nCr * p^r * q^n-r
Where n = number of sample = 6
p = probability of success = 0.545
q = 1-p = 0.455
r = possible outcome from number of sample.
If 6 random births are chosen, Probability that at least 1 of them is a girl = 1 -[probability that none of them is a girl] = 1 - [probability that all 6 kids are boys]
Probability that all 6 kids are boys = 6C6 * 0.545^6 * 0.455^0 = 0.0262
Probability that at least one is a girl = 1 - 0.0262 = 0.9738.
Question is: how many 84s will fit in 5376? Let's think about some easy multiples:
84 * 100 = 8400, so it's too big
84 * 10 = 840, so it might work
84 | 5376 | 10
-840
84 | 4536 | 10
-840
84 | 3696 | 10
-840
84 | 2856 | 10
-840
84 | 2016 | 10
-840
84 | 1176 | 10
-840
84 | 336
We can't fit any more 840 in 336, so we check how many 84s are in 336 and what's the remainder:
84 | 336 | 4
- 336
So there's no remainder. Now we add all the partial quotients to get the final result:
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 4 = <u>64
</u>It's correct, I checked it with calculator. I just hope you'll be able to read something from that, it's quite difficult to do partial dividing with no pencil and paper :)
