Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

Of means multiply and is means equals

50% * 120% * 30% *N= 108

Change to decimal form

.50 * 1.20 * .30 * N = 108

Multiply

.18 N = 108

Divide each side by .18

.18N /.18 = 108/.18

N =600

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

The number is 600

Discussion:

Percent means "per 100" or divided by 100. The Question is equivalent to

50 % * 120% * 30% * x = 108

where x is the number to be found. This is equivalent to

(50/100)* (120/100) * (30/100) * x = 108 => simplify fractions

(1/2) * (12/10) * ( 3/10) * x = 108 => as 3 * 12 = 36

36/ (2 * 10* 10) * x = 108 => 36 * 3 = 108. Divide by 36

1/(200) *x = 108/36 = 3 => multiply both sides by 200

x = 3 * 200 = 600

Thank you,

MrB

MATH HELP!!!!! If y = 15 when x = 2, what is the value of x when y = 7?

Ede4ka [16]

Direct Variation: $\frac{y}{x} = k$

$\frac{15}{2} = k$

when y = 7: $\frac{7}{x} = \frac{15}{2}$

14 = 15x

$\frac{14}{15} = x$

Inverse variation: y*x = k

15 * 2 = k

30 = k

when y = 7: 7 * x = 30

$x = \frac{30}{7}$

Find the (a) mean, (b) median, (c) mode, and (d) midrange for the data and then (e) answer the given question. Listed below

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

a) $\bar X = 369.62$

b) $Median=175$

c) $Mode =450$

With a frequency of 4

d) $MidR= \frac{Max +Min}{2}= \frac{49+3000}{2}= 1524.5$

e) $s = 621.76$

And we can find the limits without any outliers using two deviations from the mean and we got:

$\bar X+2\sigma = 369.62 +2*621.76 = 1361$

And for this case we have two values above the upper limit so then we can conclude that 1500 and 3000 are potential outliers for this case

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data set given:

49 70 70 70 75 75 85 95 100 125 150 150 175 184 225 225 275 350 400 450 450 450 450 1500 3000

Part a

The mean can be calculated with this formula:

$\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

Replacing we got:

$\bar X = 369.62$

Part b

Since the sample size is n =25 we can calculate the median from the dataset ordered on increasing way. And for this case the median would be the value in the 13th position and we got:

$Median=175$

Part c

The mode is the most repeated value in the sample and for this case is:

$Mode =450$

With a frequency of 4

Part d

The midrange for this case is defined as:

$MidR= \frac{Max +Min}{2}= \frac{49+3000}{2}= 1524.5$

Part e

For this case we can calculate the deviation given by:

$s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

And replacing we got:

$s = 621.76$

And we can find the limits without any outliers using two deviations from the mean and we got:

$\bar X+2\sigma = 369.62 +2*621.76 = 1361$

And for this case we have two values above the upper limit so then we can conclude that 1500 and 3000 are potential outliers for this case

Below is a scale drawing of the town swimming pool in the drawing the longest side of the pool has length of 10 inches Paco crea

quester [9]

Answer:

2:1 that is 2 inches in real life is equal to 1 inch in the drawing.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Longest side of the pool = 10 inches

Longest side of the pool in drawing = 5 inches

Scale:

We find the ratio of the real length of pool and the measurement of the length of the pool in the drawing.

$\text{Scale} = \dfrac{10\text{ inches}}{5\text{ inches}} = 2:1$

Thus, we can say Paco's new drawing follows a scale of 2:1 that is 2 inches in real life is equal to 1 inch in the drawing.
