How you divided numbers

german

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It really depend what number, or what type of number you are multiplying, it's kind of like multiplication you're just doing it backwards. Say that you were trying to divide 20 by 5 you think in your head OK five times what equals 20 and your answer would be four because 5×4 is 20 that's the easiest way to think of it that did not help you with your question tell me in the comments and I will find a better way to explain it.

A bicyclist traveled with a speed of 12 km/h from a camping ground to a station, located 60 km away. Write a formula expressing

yawa3891 [41]

1. The formula expressing the dependence of the variable s on t is: s = 60 - 12t

2. the distance travelled at time t = 3.5 h is 18 Km

<h3>What is speed? </h3>

Speed is the distance travelled per unit. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Speed = distance / time

<h3>1. How to determine the formula expressing the dependence of the variable s on t</h3>

From the question given, bicyclist traveled with a speed of 12 km/h from a camping ground to a station, located 60 km.

Thus, we shall determine the distance travel in time t as follow

Speed = 12 Km/h
Time = t
Distance in time t = ?

Speed = distance / time

12 = distance / t

Cross multiply

Distance = 12 × t

Distance in time t = 12t

But the total distance travelled is 60 Km. Thus, the remaining distance (s) from the bicyclist to the station at time (t) will be given as:

s = 60 - 12t

Thus, the formula expressing the dependence of the variable s on t is: s = 60 - 12t

<h3>2. How to determine the distance at t = 3.5 hours</h3>

The distance at t = 3.5 hours can be obtained as illustrated below:

Time (t) = 3.5 hours
Distance (s) = ?

s = 60 - 12t

s = 60 - (12 × 3.5)

s = 60 - 42

s = 18 Km

Thus, the distance travelled at t = 3.5 hours is 18 km

The manufacturer of an airport baggage scanning machine claims it can handle an average of 530 bags per hour. (a-1) At α = .05 i

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 250$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 250$

$p_v =P(t_{15}$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and the the actual mean is not significantly lower than 530 at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$\bar X=510$ represent the mean for the sample

$s=50$ represent the standard deviation for the sample

$n=16$ sample size

$\mu_o =530$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

2) State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the claim thet the handle on average is 530 bags per hour:

Null hypothesis: $\mu \geq 530$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu < 530$

We don't know the population deviation and the sample size is lees than 30, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

3) Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{510-530}{\frac{50}{\sqrt{16}}}=-1.60$

4) Calculate the critical value

We need to begin calculating the degrees of freedom

$df=n-1=16-1=15$

The critical value for this case would be :

$P(t_{15}$

The value of a that satisfy this on the normal standard distribution is a=-1.75 and would be the critical value on this case zc=-1.75

5) Calculate the P-value

Since is a one-side upper test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{15}$

6) Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and the the actual mean is not significantly lower than 530 at 5% of significance.

Charles drew a plan for a rectangular piece of

dalvyx [7]

The fourth coordinate of rectangular piece of material is (2.8 , -2.7)

According to the question,

Charles drew a plan for a rectangular piece of material that he will use for a blanket. Three of the vertices are (-1.4, -2.7), (-1.4,3.7), and (2.8,3.7).

As we know , the opposite sides of rectangle are equal

If we locate these coordinates in our graph and join them

Length of rectangle will be = 2.8+1.4 = 4.2cm

Breadth of rectangle will be = 3.7 + 2.7 = 6.4cm

So, the fourth coordinate should lie 6.4cm far from (2.8,3.7)

Subtracting 6.4 from y-axis,

Fourth coordinate = 3.7 - 6.4

= -2.7

Therefore , The fourth side of rectangle = (2.8 , -2.7)
