Mark wants to hang four rectangular pictures in a row on a wall so that the horizontal space between each picture is always the

same. Each picture has a length of 8 inches. The wall has a length of 74 inches. If he wants to have 12 inches of horizontal wall space before the first picture and after the fourth picture, how much space should he leave between pictures?

Answer:

18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Mark wants to hang four rectangular pictures in a row on a wall so that the horizontal space between each picture is always same.

Length of  each picture=8 inches

Length of wall=74 inches

Horizontal space before first picture and after the fourth picture=12 inches

We have to find space between pictures.

Let x be the space between pictures

12+12+8+8+8+8+x=74

x+56=74

x=74-56=18

Hence, the distance between pictures=18 inches

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 27 centimeters. Find the altitude of the triangle
Naily [24]
7.79cm It is an equilateral triangle so it has 3 equal sides. That means each side is 9cm. <span>
Now draw a line from the top of the equilateral triangle to the base, and dividing it into two. You will have made two smaller triangles, with sides 9, 4.5, and h (the one you want to find). 

A line drawn from the apex of an equilateral triangle to the midpoint of the base is perpendicular to the base, so you can use Pythagoras' Theorem! 

4.5^2 + h^2 = 9^2 
h = sqrt(9^2 - 4.5^2) 
Therefore, the height is 7.79cm (2 decimal places)</span><span>

The entire output of a factory is produced on three machines. The three machines account for 20%, 30%, and 50% of the output, re
Sliva [168]

Answer: 0.20833

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a case of inverse probability.

We first determine the probability that an item is defective generally.

To do this we sum the possible options of having the item produced from the first machine and is defective or having the item produced by the second machine and is defective or having the item produced by the third machine and is defective.

Mathematically,this becomes :

(0.2 * 0.05) + (0.3 * 0.03) + (0.5 * 0.01)

0.01 + 0.009 + 0.005 = 0.024.

Probability an item is defective in general = 0.024

Probability a third machine produces a defective item = 0.5 * 0.01 = 0.005.

Hence, given that the item is defective, the probability that it was produced by the third machine becomes:

= (probability of the item being produced from the third machine and is defective) / (probability of the item being defective in general)

= 0.005/0.024

= 0.20833.

Jose, baulus, and George are having a disagreement over interest rates. Jose says that 6 3/4% can be expressed as 6.75%. George
otez555 [7]

Answer:

Jose and George are correct

Baulus is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

6\frac{3}{4}%

Required

Compare the above expression with

Jose: 6.75%.

George: 0.0675

Baulus: 0.0675%

<em>The expression </em>6\frac{3}{4}<em>% is given as a mixed fraction;</em>

In Jose's case, he simply converted it to decimal

Converting 6\frac{3}{4}% to decimal;

First, we need to convert to improper fraction

6\frac{3}{4}% in improper fraction is \frac{27}{4}%

Then, we divide the numerator by the denominator

\frac{27}{4}% = 6.75%.

Hence, Jose is correct

In George's case, he solved further by removing the % from Jose's answer.

% means divided by 100; In other words, x% means that we divide x by 100

So, 6.75% means we divide 6.75 by 100

\frac{6.75}{100} = 0.0675

Hence, George is also correct

But same can't be said of Baulus;

Baulus converted 6\frac{3}{4}% as 0.0675%

This means that he converted 6\frac{3}{4} as 0.0675 then he appended it with the percentage sign (%)

Since 6\frac{3}{4} is not equal to 0.0675, then we can conclude that Baulus is incorrect

a) (1.5,26)
b) (2.25,30)
c) (5.5,88)
d) (7.25,110)

y = 16x
choice a. y = 16(1.5) = 24
choice b. y = 16(2.25) = 36
choice c. y = 16(5.5) = 88
choice d. y = 16(7.25) = 116

The correct answer is choice c. (5.5, 88)
