Answer:

greatest number of pieces will be 9 that he can use.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamar has a piece of wood, 8 foot long.

He wants to build a step stool for his tree house by cutting the pieces of the wood \frac{5}{6} foot long each.

Number of pieces of the wood = \frac{\text{length of wood}}{\text{length of each piece}}

= \frac{8}{\frac{5}{6}}

= 8\times \frac{6}{5}

= \frac{48}{5}

= 9\frac{3}{5}

Number of pieces will be 9 full pieces and a fraction of piece.

Therefore, greatest number of pieces will be 9 which Jamar can use.

The greates amount of pieces he would be able to use would be 9 because 8 divided by 5/6= 9 and 3/5.the 3/5 piece is too short.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

She makes $325 a week, so go to the 8th row, for weekly income of $300 to $400.  She claims 2 exemptions, so go to the third column labeled 2.  The value is 2.  That means the $2 is withheld from her paycheck on top of the 6.25% for FICA.  The total is therefore:

$2 + (0.0625) ($325)

$22.3125

Rounded to the nearest cent, that's $22.31.

Jocelyn and her children went into a bakery and she bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.50 and each br
Yuliya22 [10]

Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.

Let x represent the number of cookies and y represent the number of brownies.

Since he bought $9 worth of cookies and brownies. Each cookie costs $0.75 and each brownie costs $3. hence:

0.75x + 3y = 9      (1)

Also, he bought twice as many cookies as brownies, hence:

x = 2y

x - 2y = 0     (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives x = 4, y = 2

Hence Jace bought 4 cookies and 2 brownies from the bakery.

The physical plant at the main campus of a large state university recieves daily requests to replace florecent lightbulbs. The d
zaharov [31]

Answer:

P(61≤ X≤94) = 49.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The mean of the bell shaped fluorescent light bulb μ = 61

The standard deviation σ = 11

The objective of this question is to determine the approximate percentage of light bulb replacement requests numbering between 61 and 94 i.e P(61≤ X≤94)

Using the empirical (68-95-99.7)rule ;

At 68% , the data lies between  μ - σ and μ + σ

i.e

61 - 11 and 61 + 11

50 and 72

At  95%, the data lies between  μ - 2σ and μ + 2σ

i.e

61 - 2(11) and 61 + 2(11)

61 - 22 and 61 +22

39   and   83

At 99.7%, the data lies between  μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ

i.e

61 - 3(11) and 61 + 3(11)

61 - 33 and 61 + 33

28   and   94

the probability equivalent to 94 is when  P(28≤ X≤94) =99.7%

This implies that ,

P(28≤ X≤94) + P(61≤ X≤94) = 99.7%

P(28≤ X≤94) = P(61≤ X≤94) = 99.7 %    

This is so because the distribution is symmetric about the mean

P(61≤ X≤94) = 99.7 %/2

P(61≤ X≤94) = 49.85%

How can you use 1300 divided by 13 to help you find 1,287 divided 13
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is about the benefits of estimation.

1300/13 is easy and results in 100.

1287/13 can be approximated by 1300/13:  1287/13 ≈ 100.

Actually, 1287 = 1300 - 13 = 13(99); just subtract 1 from 100.  

So:  1287/13 = 1300 - 13 = 1287.  A nice bit of mental math!
