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:

The sample size is $n = 600$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample proportion is $\r p = 0.48$

The margin of error is $MOE = 0.04$

Given that the confidence level is 95% the level of significance is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = 100 - 95$

$\alpha = 5 \%$

$\alpha = 0.05$

Next we obtain the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table , the values is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

The reason we are obtaining critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ instead of $\alpha$ is because

$\alpha$ represents the area under the normal curve where the confidence level interval ( $1-\alpha$ ) did not cover which include both the left and right tail while

$\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is just the area of one tail which what we required to calculate the margin of error

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$MOE = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{\r p(1- \r p )}{n} }$

substituting values

$0.04= 1.96* \sqrt{ \frac{0.48(1- 0.48 )}{n} }$

$0.02041 = \sqrt{ \frac{0.48(52 )}{n} }$

$0.02041 = \sqrt{ \frac{ 0.2496}{n} }$

$0.02041^2 = \frac{ 0.2496}{n}$

$0.0004166 = \frac{ 0.2496}{n}$

=> $n = 600$

Answer:

They are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can simplify the second equation by multiplying 7 times 6 and then 7 times 5 due to the distributive property.

$42+35 = 7(6+5)?\\42+35=(7 * 6)(7 * 5)\\42+35=42+35\\$

Therefore, using the distributive property, they are equal.
