Answer:
x=3.565
Step-by-step explanation:
29 = 4 + .75b
subtract 4
25 = .75b
divide .75
b = 33.3333333
b = 33 braids
Answer:
H. 552
Step-by-step explanation:
Circle graph information:
- Milk and eggs = x%
- Fruits and vegetables = 38%
- Cereals = 10%
- Meat and fish = 10%
- Sugar = 8%
- Fats and oils = 4%
Total consumption = 1840 pounds per person
First, calculate the percentage of milk and eggs (the value of x).
Total percentages = 100%
⇒ x + 38 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 4 = 100
⇒ x + 70 = 100
⇒ x = 30
Therefore, 30% of food consumption is milk and eggs.
To calculate the number of pounds of milk and eggs the average American consumes each year, simply find 30% of the total consumption:
= 30% of 1840
= 30% × 1840
= 552
Therefore, the average American consumes 552 pounds of milk and eggs each year.
Answer:
2x − 9 and x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x² + 3x − 54
Factor using the AC method.
2 × -54 = -108
Factors of -108 that add up to 3 are +12 and -9.
Divide by 2 and reduce: 12/2 = 6/1, -9/2 = -9/2.
Therefore, the factors are x + 6 and 2x − 9.
Answer:
A) 99.7% of people have an IQ between 64 and 136.
B) 5% of people have an IQ score less than 76 or greater than 124.
C) 16% of people have an IQ score greater than 112.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule tells us that, in a normal or 'bell-shaped' distribution, 68% of the data is one standard deviation from the mean, 95% of the data is two standard deviations from the mean, and 99.7% of the data is three standard deviations from the mean.
A) 64 and 136 are 3 standard deviations away from the mean, so 99.7% of people have an IQ between 64 and 136.
B) 76 and 124 are 2 standard devations away from the mean, but the answer is asking what percentage is not between them. 100% - 95% gives us 5%.
C) 112 is one standard deviation away from the mean. If we want to find the percentage greater, then we can do 100% - 50% (as 112 is to the left of the mean), then we can take half of 68 to get 34%, and after subtracting 50% and 34% from the 100%, we get 16%.
