120×.12 equals 14.4.

14.4 is 12% of 120. And .12 equals 12%

So the problem says increase, so you had $14.4 to 120 and that's your answer, $164.40

All the fourth-graders in a certain elementary school took a standardized test. A total of 85% of the students were found to be

Answer:

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that a student is proficient in reading

B is the probability that a student is proficient in mathematics.

C is the probability that a student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that a student is proficient in reading but not mathematics and $A \cap B$ is the probability that a student is proficient in both reading and mathematics.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

Either a student in proficient in at least one of reading or mathematics, or a student is proficient in neither of those. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$(A \cup B) + C = 1$

In which

$(A \cup B) = a + b + (A \cap B)$

65% were found to be proficient in both reading and mathematics.

This means that $A \cap B = 0.65$

78% were found to be proficient in mathematics

This means that $B = 0.78$

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

$0.78 = b + 0.65$

$b = 0.13$

85% of the students were found to be proficient in reading

This means that $A = 0.85$

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

$0.85 = a + 0.65$

$a = 0.20$

Proficient in at least one:

$(A \cup B) = a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.20 + 0.13 + 0.65 = 0.98$

What is the probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics?

$(A \cup B) + C = 1$

$C = 1 - (A \cup B) = 1 - 0.98 = 0.02$

There is a 2% probability that the student is proficient in neither reading nor mathematics.

Which inequality represents the sentence? The difference of seven and two tenths and a number is more than twenty nine. 7. 2 - n

Slav-nsk [51]

The inequality which represent, the difference of seven and two tenths and a number is more than twenty-nine, is

$7.2-n > 29$

<h3>What is the inequality equation?</h3>

Inequality equation is the equation in which the two expressions are compared with greater than, less than or other inequality signs.

Inequality is represented with the greater then(<), less then(>) or with the other inequity signs like less than equal to $\leq$ or greater than equal to $\geq$ .

Tenth is written as the fractional part of the number 10. The value of one tenth is equal to 1/10 or 0.1.

The sentence given for the inequality expression is, that the differences of seven and two tenths, and a number is more than twenty-nine.

The number seven and two tenths can be written as,

$7\dfrac{2}{10}$

Suppose the unknown number is n. Now, the differences of seven and two tenths, and this number (<em>n</em>) is more than twenty-nine. The more than word means, the greater than sign for equation. Thus, it can be expressed as,

$7\dfrac{2}{10}-n > 29\\\dfrac{72}{10}-n > 29\\7.2-n > 29$

Hence, the inequality which represent, the difference of seven and two tenths and a number is more than twenty-nine, is

$7.2-n > 29$

The sandwiches at the bakery come in four sizes:

kaheart [24]

13 kids sandwiches X 4 inches = 52 inches
22 small sandwiches X 6 inches = 132 inches
17 medium sandwiches X 8 inches = 136 inches
17 large sandwiches X 12 inches = 204 inches

52+132+136+204= 524 inches = 43.66 feet = 43.7 feet
