Can someone help me with the problem that I posted pls?

A newborn weighs 8 pounds, 5 ounces. There are 453.59 grams per pound. What is the infant's weight in grams?

Nadya [2.5K]

Convert from Oz and Lbs.

1 Pound = 453.59237 Grams

1 Ounce = 28.3495231 Grams

3628.73896 for Lbs

141.7476155 for Oz

Add them, and you get:

3770.4865755

I didn't know if you needed rounding - it was classified as college.

Hope this helped, and have a good day!

A standardized test that colleges use to make admissions decisions is the _____.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

EXPLORE test is the college test ACT's "prep" version mostly for 8th and 9th graders.

ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) test is used for military entrance exam.

PLAN is also like EXPLORE that it is a "prep" test for ACT but usually given to sophomore (10th grade) students. This has been discontinued from 2014, though.

SAT is a standardized test administered by College Board and is a widely used common Undergraduate University admissions exam. Colleges use this to make admissions decisions.

Thus, D is the correct choice.

How to distribute this problem:<br> (x-8)^2 + 16

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

We conclude that:

$\left(x-8\right)^2+16=x^2-16x+80$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

$\left(x-8\right)^2\:+\:16$

First, solve (x - 8)²

Apply Perfect Square formula: (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²

$a=x,\:\:b=8$

$\left(x-8\right)^2=x^2-2x\cdot \:\:8+8^2$

$=x^2-16x+64$

so the expression becomes

$\left(x-8\right)^2+16=x^2-16x+64+16$

$=x^2-16x+80$ Add the numbers: 64+16=80

Therefore, we conclude that:

$\left(x-8\right)^2+16=x^2-16x+80$

Explain the steps that are necessary to solve 4x - 2(x + 3) = x + 1

Sidana [21]

So you would distribute what's in the parenthesis and end up with 4x-2x-6=x+1, then you combine like terms and end up with 2x-6=x+1, now you can add 6 to both sides or subtract 1 both sides (basically anything goes for this step just make sure you apply the same thing on both sides) so I'll add 6 and continue just to show you... then you end up with 2x=x+7 then you subtract 1x on both sides to get x=7. sorry it's a lot hopefully you get it know!

The Eco Pulse survey from the marketing communications firm Shelton Group asked individuals to indicate things they do that make

Bad White [126]

Answer:

a) There is a probability of 42% that the person will feel guilty for only one of those things.

b)There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability problem can be solved by building a Venn like diagram for each probability.

I say that we have two sets:

-Set A, for those people that will feel guilty about wasting food.

-Set B, for those people that will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.

The most important information is that there is a .12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons. It means that $P(A \cap B) = .12.$

The problem also states that there is a .39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food. It means that P(A) = 0.39. The probability of a person feeling guilty for only wasting food is PO(A) = .39-.12 = .27.

Also, there is a .27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room. So, the probability of a person feeling guilty for only leaving the lights on is PO(B) = 0.27-0.12 = 0.15.

a) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room?

This is the probability that the person feels guilt for only one of those things, so:

P = PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.27 + 0.15 = 0.42 = 42%

b) What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons

The sum of all the probabilities is always 1. In this problem, we have the following probabilies

- The person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons: P

- The person will feel guilty for only one of those things: PO(A) + PO(B) = 0.42

- The person will feel guilty for both reasons: PB = 0.12

So

`P + 0.42 + 0.12 = 1

P = 1-0.54

P = 0.46

There is a probability of 46% that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons
