Answer:

3 1/2 houses

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit rate we must divide 4 by 10

4 hours divided by 10 house = 1/4

1/4 houses per hour

8 hours times 0.4= 3.2 houses

Answer:

20 houses

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s make a proportion using this setup:

houses/hours=houses/hour

We know that 10 houses can be cleaned in 4 hours. We don’t know how many houses can be cleaned in 8 hours, so we can say x houses can be cleaned in 8 hours.

10 houses/4 hours= x houses/8 hours

10/4=x/8

Now we have to solve for x, by getting x by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to both sides.

x is being divided by 8. The opposite of division is multiplication, so multiply both sides by 8

8(10/4)=(x/8)8

8(10/4)=x

8(2.5)=x

20=x

20 houses can be cleaned in 8 hours.

Solve for x. enter your answer in interval notation using grouping symbols. x^2+15x<-36
Oliga [24]
X²+15x+36<0

at first solve quadratic equation

D=b²-4ac= 225-4*1*36= 81

x=(-b+/-√D)/2a
x=(-15+/-√81)/2= (-15+/-9)/2
x1=(-15-9)/2=-12
x2=(-15+9)/2=-3

we can write x²+15x+36<0 as (x+12)(x+3)<0

(x+12)(x+3)<0 can be 2 cases, because for product to be negative one factor should be negative , and second factor should be positive
 1 case)      x+12<0, and x+3>0,                                            
                       x<-12, and x>-3
(-∞, -12) and(-3,∞) gives empty set

or second case)  x+12>0 and x+3<0
x>-12 and x<-3
(-12,∞) and (-∞,-3)  they are crossing , so (-12, -3)  is a solution of this inequality

A bag contains 4 tan socks and 7 grey socks. emily reaches into the bag and randomly selects two socks without replacement. what
Y_Kistochka [10]
Tan socks = 4
Grey socks = 7
Total number of socks = 4+7 = 11 socks
Probability of picking a tan sock then grey sock:
P(T)*P(G) = (4/11)*(7/10) = 14/54

Probability of picking a Grey sock then Tan sock
P(G)*P(T) = (7/11)*(4/10) = 14/55

Probability of two different colored socks
P(T&G)+P(G&T) = (14/55)+(14/55) = 28/55
