Answer:

70 cans of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

1 box holds = 14 cans of paint

5 boxes =

Cross Multiplying

5 boxes will hold = 5 × 14

= 70 cans of paint

This question, requires that we use Distributive property

Distributive property states that: when 2 factors or numbers are multiplied together the result will be the same as splitting on of the numbers(factors) into two distinct numbers, multiplying both number by the other factor, and adding together both products.

Applying the definition above to solve the question, we would be splitting the number of boxes which is 5 into 2 distinct number = 2 and 3

As , 2 + 3 = 5

Hence, we have:

14 × 5 = 14( 2 + 3)

70 = 28 + 42

70 cans of paint = 70 cans of paint.

The numbers of cans of paint that are in the art supply closet is 70 cans of paint

The Kamp family has twins, Rob and Rachel. Both Rob and Rachel graduated from college 2 years ago, and each is now earning $50,0
dybincka [34]

Answer:

z-value of rachel = 1.875

z-value of rob = -2

z-value of Rachel is more than that of rob. Thus rob is earning below average and rachel is earning above average.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the salary of Rob and Rachel per year by X. So, X = $50,000

We are told that;

For Rachel's industry;

Mean salary;μ1 = $35,000

Standard deviation;σ1 = $8,000

For Rob's industry;

Mean salary;μ2 = $60,000

Standard deviation;σ2 = $5,000

Formula for z - value is;

z = (X - μ)/σ

Thus;

z-value for rob is;

z2 = (X - μ2)/σ2

z2 = (50000 - 60000)/5000

z2 = -2

z-value for rachel is;

z1 = (X - μ1)/σ1

z1 = (50000 - 35000)/8000

z1 = 1.875

z-value of Rachel is more than that of rob. Thus rob is earning below average and rachel is earning above average.

1. If you knew that DE = \frac{1}{2}CB
Then you would know it is a mid-segment.

2. If you knew that CD =  DA and BE = EA  (point D and point E are midpoints of their respective segments)
