Let's find a common factor for the two denominators (10 and 8) to make the two fractions combinable. 

We need to find a number that can be divisible by 10 and 8 (denominators). Right off the bat, we can just multiply the two numbers and get 8 x 10 = 80.
Then let's make the numerators correspond to the denominators.

8/10 = x/80 Set up a proportion.
10x = 640   Cross-multiplication.
 x = 64         Divide and simplify.

3/8 = x/80  Set up a proportion.
8x = 240    Cross-multiplication.
x = 30        Divide and simplify.


Now we have 64/80 (originally 8/10) and 30/80 (originally 3/8). Now which one is the larger number?

64/80 > 30/80
8/10 > 3/8

8/10 would be greater because 3/8 is not as close as 8/10 to being a whole the one that's closest to a whole is always the answer. Hope It helped!

Twenty five heat lamps are connected in a greenhouse so, that when one lamp fails, another takes over immediately (only one lamp
olga55 [171]

Answer:

P = 0.006

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n = 25 Lamps

each with mean lifetime of 50 hours and standard deviation (SD) of 4 hours

Find probability that the lamp will be burning at end of 1300 hours period.

As we are not given that exact lamp, it means we have to find the probability where any of the lamp burning at the end of 1300 hours, So we have

Suppose i represents lamps

P (∑i from 1 to 25 (X_i > 1300)) = 1300

= P(X^{'}> \frac{1300}{25})                  where X^{'} represents mean time of a single lamp

= P (Z> \frac{52-50}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}})                Z is the standard normal distribution which can be found by using the formula

Z = Mean Time (X^{'}) - Life time of each Lamp (50 hours)/ (SD/\sqrt{n})

Z = (52-50)/(4/\sqrt{25}) = 2.5

Now, P(Z>2.5) = 0.006 using the standard normal distribution table

Probability that a lamp will be burning at the end of 1300 hours period is 0.006

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the line whose equation is -7x+y=-6
gulaghasi [49]
-7x + y = -6    |add 7x to both sides

y = 7x - 6

the slope: m = 7
the y-intercept: y = -6

Solve 7p - 4 + 12p = -3 (5 + p) Can you show the work please?
prisoha [69]
7p - 4 + 12p = -3(5 + p)
7p - 4 + 12p = -15 - 3p
        + 4              + 4
7p + 12p    = -11 - 3p
        + 3p                + 3p
22p             = -11
