Each student in a pottery class is responsible for cleaning the area around his or her workspace at the end of the lesson. Each

student's area is approximately 4½ ft. There are 13 students in the class. Assuming that each student cleans his or her area, how many square feet in total is cleaned? Solve the problem by each of these methods.
a) Convert the fraction to an improper fraction and multiply.

b) Use addition to rewrite the fraction, and multiply using the distributive property.

To find the total area cleaned, mult. 4 1/2 ft^2 by 13 (students):

9 ft^2

---------------- * 13 students = 58.5 ft^2

students

Second approach: Rewrite 4 1/2 as 4 + 1/2

and then mult. this result by 13:

13(4 + 1/2) = 52 + 13/2= 52 + 6.5 = 58 1/2 ft^2 (answer)

Jessie draws triangle ABC on a coordinate grid. The slope of line segment AB is Jessie then transforms triangle

Answer:

1) Supports Jessie's Claim

2) Does Not Support Jessi's Claim

3) Supports Jessie's Claim

4) Does Not Support Jessi's Claim

Step-by-step explanation:

The given transformations are;

1) Rotation of 180° around the origin

For a rotation of 180° around the origin, either clockwise or anti clockwise, for a given coordinate of the preimage (x, y), the coordinate of the image is (-x, -y)

Therefore, whereby the slope of the preimage, given two points (0, 0) and (2, 2), = (2 - 0)/(2 - 0) = 1

For the image with the points (0, 0) and (-2, -2), we have;

(-2 - 0)/(-2 - 0) = 1

Therefore, the slope of the preimage and the image are equal

Therefore, supports Jessie's Claim

2) For a reflection across the line y = 2, we have

We note that the line y = 2 is parallel to the x-axis

For a reflection across the x-axis, for a preimage (x, y), we have the coordinates of the image (x, -y)

However for the reflection across the line y = 2, we have;

For a preimage, (x, y), the coordinate of the image is (x, -y+4)

Given two points, of the preimage (0, 0) and (2, 2), we have the image given as (0, 4) and (2, -2 + 4) = (2, 2);

The slope of the preimage is (2 - 0)/(2 - 0) = 1

The slope of the image is (2 - 4)/(2 - 0) = -1

The slope of the line of the preimage and the image are different

Therefore, does Not Support Jessi's Claim

3) For a translation up 1.25 units, we note that the difference in the y and x values of the coordinates of the preimage and the image will be equal when finding the slope, and therefore, the slope of the figure of the preimage and the slope of the figure of the image will be equal

Therefore, supports Jessie's Claim

4) For a reflection across the x-axis, a point on the preimage, with coordinates (x, y) will form a point on the image with coordinates (x, - y)

For a preimage with points (0, 0) and (2, 2), we have the image as (0, 0) and (2, -2)

The slope of the preimage is (2 - 0)/(2 - 0) = 1

The slope of the image is (-2 - 0)/(2 - 0) = -1

The slope of the line of the preimage and the image are different

Therefore, does Not Support Jessi's Claim

Required information Skip to question A die (six faces) has the number 1 painted on two of its faces, the number 2 painted on th

grigory [225]

Answer:

The change to the face 3 affects the value of P(Odd Number)

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysing the question one statement at a time.

Before the face with 3 is loaded to be twice likely to come up.

The sample space is:

$S = \{1,1,2,2,2,3\}$

And the probability of each is:

$P(1) = \frac{n(1)}{n(s)}$

$P(1) = \frac{2}{6}$

$P(1) = \frac{1}{3}$

$P(2) = \frac{n(2)}{n(s)}$

$P(2) = \frac{3}{6}$

$P(2) = \frac{1}{2}$

$P(3) = \frac{n(3)}{n(s)}$

$P(3) = \frac{1}{6}$

P(Odd Number) is then calculated as:

$P(Odd\ Number) = P(1) + P(3)$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}$

Take LCM

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2+1}{6}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{6}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{1}{2}$

After the face with 3 is loaded to be twice likely to come up.

The sample space becomes:

$S = \{1,1,2,2,2,3,3\}$

The probability of each is:

$P(1) = \frac{n(1)}{n(s)}$

$P(1) = \frac{2}{7}$

$P(2) = \frac{n(2)}{n(s)}$

$P(2) = \frac{3}{7}$

$P(3) = \frac{n(3)}{n(s)}$

$P(3) = \frac{1}{7}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = P(1) + P(3)$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2}{7} + \frac{1}{7}$

Take LCM

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{2+1}{7}$

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{7}$

Comparing P(Odd Number) before and after

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{1}{2}$ --- Before

$P(Odd\ Number) = \frac{3}{7}$ --- After

<em>We can conclude that the change to the face 3 affects the value of P(Odd Number)</em>
