First, we translate the information that the question gives us:20+x is "twenty added to a certain number"(20+x)/5 is "the sum divided by five"1+12x is "one more than twelve times the original number"Putting it all together, we get the following equation:(x+20)/5 = 1 + 12xSolve for x:x+20=5(1+12x)x+20=5+60x20-5=60x-x15=59x15/59 = xTherefore, the original number was 15/59

Answer: 180 tickets for $40

Step-by-step explanation:

    To answer this question, we need to find a pattern;

15 / 3 = 5

60 / 15 = 4

-> If you divide, we find a pattern of the quotient with 5... 4... so we can assume the next is 3

    Using this pattern;

60 * 3 = 180 tickets for $40

Given the speeds of each runner below, determine who runs the fastest.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Debbie runs 9 feet per second: 9 ft/s

Jessica runs 1 mile  in 440 seconds: 414/50 ft/s = 207/25 ft/s = 8 7/25 ft/s

jesssica runs 131 feet in 10 seconds: since 1 mile = 5280 ft we have 1/470 mi/s = 5280/470 ft/s = 528/47 ft/s = 11 11/47 ft/s

ron runs 603 feet in 1 minute: 547 ft/min = 603/60 ft/s = 201/20 ft/s = 10 1/20 ft/s

Since:

11 11/47 > 10 1/20 > 9 > 8 7/25

Emily runs the fastest.

3. A medical devices company wants to know the number of MRI machines needed per day. A previous study found a standard deviatio
lozanna [386]

Answer:

173 MRI machines

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin of error E = 0.5

Confidence interval 90% = 1-0.9 = 0.1

Standard deviation = 4 hours

Number of MRI machines needed per day n, = [(z alpha/2 * SD)/E]²

Z alpha/2 = 1.645 at alpha = 0.1

Inputting these values into n we have that

[(1.645*4)/0.5]²

= 13.16²

= 173.18 is approximately equal to 173

The company has to study 173 machines.
