1. First, let us define the width of the rectangle as w and the length as l.
2. Now, given that the length of the rectangle is 6 in. more than the width, we can write this out as:
l = w + 6
3. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2w + 2l. We know that the perimeter of the rectangle in the problem is 24 in. so we can rewrite this as:
24 = 2w + 2l
4. Given that we know that l = w + 6, we can substitute this into the formula for the perimeter above so that we will have only one variable to solve for. Thus:
24 = 2w + 2l
if l = w + 6, then: 24 = 2w + 2(w + 6)
24 = 2w + 2w + 12 (Expand 2(w + 6) )
24 = 4w + 12
12 = 4w (Subtract 12 from each side)
w = 12/4 (Divide each side by 4)
w = 3 in.
5. Now that we know that the width is 3 in., we can substitute this into our formula for length that we found in 2. :
l = w + 6
l = 3 + 6
l = 9 in.
6. Therefor the rectangle has a width of 3 in. and a length of 9 in.
Answer:
P(a junior or a senior)=1
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of the probability is given by:
Where P(A) is the probability of occurring an event A, n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes and N is the total number of outcomes.
In this case, N is the total number of the students of statistics class.
N=18+10=28
The probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events is given by:
Therefore:
P(a junior or a senior) =P(a junior)+P(a senior)
Because a student is a junior or a senior, not both.
n(a junior)=18
n(a senior)=10
P(a junior)=18/28
P(a senior) = 10/28
P(a junior or a senior) = 18/28 + 10/28
Solving the sum of the fractions:
P(a junior or a senior) = 28/28 = 1
A. Kristina will sell 294 items in 28 days if she stays on her current pace.
B. She is not on track to meet the goal. By doing the math she would only sell around 294 items by day 28 when she needs to sell around 400 to reach her goal. if she keeps this pace she won’t reach that goal unless she is able to bump up her weekly count by 2-5 items then she can either hit the goal or go over.
Answer:x=1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+2.5=6.1
3x=6.1-2.5
3x=3.6
x=1.2
