Answer:
20 books
Step-by-step explanation:
given that the shelf can hold 25 1/2 lbs (i.e 25.5 lbs), and that each book weighs 1 1/4 ln (i.e 1.25 lbs)
number of books which the shelf can hold
= weight that the shelf can hold ÷ weight of each book
= 25.5 ÷ 1.25
= 20.4 books
because having 0.4 of a book (i.e part of a book) would not be very feasable, we have to round the number of books down to the nearest whole number)
20.4 books rounded down to nearest whole number = 20 books (answer)
Answer:
26.2% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we have that:
935 smokers received the treatment(nicotine patch).
After 6 months, 245 of them were not smoking.
Assuming it is reasonable to regard this sample as representative of all smokers, estimate the percentage of all smokers who, when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
This percentage is 245/935 = 0.2620.
26% of smokers,when given this treatment, would refrain from smoking for at least 6 months.
1/5 (150x - 80y + 50 - 50x - 25y + 20) = 20x - 21y + 14
what I did is combined the like terms and multiplied each term within the parenthesis by .2
