What I always do to solve this, is find a common factor for each number first.
Usually 4 or 5 works best. I'll use 4.
4 goes into 80 20 times, which means that 4 = 5% of 80.
If 4 = 5%, and 48 = 12 x 4, then 48 must equal 60% of 80.
(Another way to solve this problem is: simplify 48 / 80. This simplifies to 3/5.
3/5 = 60%)!
Answer: at most 15 pairs of socks
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pair of socks of her sister be
, and let the number of pairs Lucy has be
.
Since , Lucy has 4 more than 1/3 the number of pairs of socks as her sister, this means that
.............................. equation 1
Also , Lucy has at most 9 pairs of socks , this means that
....................................... equation 2
Equating the two equations , we have

multiply through by 3

subtract 12 from both sides

Therefore , the sister has at most 15 pairs of socks

Answer:
2 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
3.3 kilometers to miles is 2.0505. I'm not sure if this question want you to round, but if it does, the answer would be 2 miles.
To get your approximate answer, multiply 3.3 (kilometers) by 0.62 (miles).
You get 2.046 if you multiply it by 0.62 like the question says to do.
Answer:
The percentage of students who scored below 620 is 93.32%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:

Percentage of students who scored below 620:
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 620. So



has a pvalue of 0.9332
The percentage of students who scored below 620 is 93.32%.
