Answer:
The expected number of adult workers with a high school diploma is 4 out of 10
Step-by-step explanation:
4 out of 10 = 40%
You would put in 12 for x since there are 12 months in a year. Then you would multiply 12 by 35, and add 70.
There is no such thing as a "kilowatt per hour". If that's actually what the question says, then it's a defective question, and you should put it away before it makes you any more confused.
A 120 watt light bulb uses exactly 0.12 kilowatt when it's turned on.
In one hour, it uses
(0.12 kilowatt) x (1 hour) = 0.12 kilowatt-hour of energy.
If energy costs $0.20 per kilowatt-hour, then the cost is
(0.12) x (0.20) = 2.4 cents. (0.024 dollar)
There are 12 inches in a foot, so 9ft = 108in. Also, 80% = 0.8. Therefore the formula is:
h(n) = 108 * 0.8^n.
To find the bounce height after 10 bounces, substitute n=10 into the equation:
h(n) = 108 * 0.8^10 = 11.60in (2.d.p.).
Finally to find how many bounces happen before the height is less than one inch, substitute h(n) = 1, then rearrage with logarithms to solve for the power, x:
108 * 0.8^x = 1;
0.8^x = 1/108;
Ln(0.8^x) = ln(1/108);
xln(0.8) = ln(1\108);
x = ln(1/108) / ln(0.8) = -4.682 / -0.223 = 21 bounces
