Each of them need to work 105 minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, they need to work for x minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

Selma packs one box in 5 minutes and Trudy packs one box in 7 minutes.

So, the number of boxes packed by Selma in that x minutes =\frac{x}{5} and the number of boxes packed by Trudy in x minutes =\frac{x}{7}

Given that, Selma and Trudy have already packed 12 and 18 boxes.

Now if <u>each of them packed the same number of boxes</u>, then the equation will be......

12+\frac{x}{5}=18+\frac{x}{7}\\ \\ \frac{x}{5}-\frac{x}{7}= 18-12\\ \\ \frac{7x-5x}{35}=6\\ \\ \frac{2x}{35}=6\\ \\ 2x= 210\\ \\ x= \frac{210}{2}=105

So, each of them need to work 105 minutes more in order to have packed the same number of boxes.

A manufacturing process makes rods that vary slightly in length but follow a normal distribution with mean length 25 cm and stan
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The probability of randomly selecting a rod that is shorter than 22 cm

P(X<22)  = 0.1251

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):</em></u>-

Given mean of the Population = 25cm

Given standard deviation of the Population = 2.60

Let 'x' be the random variable in normal distribution

Given x=22

Z = \frac{x-mean }{S.D} = \frac{22-25}{2.60} = -1.15

<u><em>Step(ii):</em></u>-

The probability of randomly selecting a rod that is shorter than 22 cm

P(X<22) = P( Z<-1.15)

             = 1-P(Z>1.15)

             =  1-( 0.5+A(1.15)

             =  0.5 - A(1.15)

             = 0.5 - 0.3749

             = 0.1251

The probability of randomly selecting a rod that is shorter than 22 cm

P(X<22)  = 0.1251

Paula, the local baker, usually makes 15 loaves of bread and 10 cakes per day, but today she made 25 loaves of bread and 12 cake
frozen [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent increase formula is

%increase=\frac{new-original}{original}*100%

For the bread, our percent increase looks like this:

\frac{25-15}{15}*100

which gives us a percent increase of 66.7%

For the cakes, our percent increase looks like this:

\frac{12-10}{10}*100

which gives us a percent increase of 20%
