We have been given that a tree that measured 3\frac{3}{4} feet tall was planted. A hundred years later, the tree is now 25\frac{1}{2} feet tall. We are asked to find the number of times times is tree now taller than it was when the school first opened.

To solve our given problem, we will divide present length of tree by length of tree when it was planted as:

25\frac{1}{2}\div 3\frac{3}{4}

First of all we will convert mixed fractions into improper fractions.

25\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \frac{25\times 2+1}{2}=\frac{50+1}{2}=\frac{51}{2}

3\frac{3}{4}\Rightarrow \frac{3\times 4+3}{4}=\frac{12+3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}

\frac{51}{2}\div \frac{15}{4}

Now we will convert our division problem into multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction as:

\frac{51}{2}\times \frac{4}{15}

Cancel out common factors:

\frac{17}{1}\times \frac{2}{5}

\frac{17\times 2}{1\times 5}

\frac{34}{5}=6\frac{4}{5}

Therefore, the tree is 6\frac{4}{5} is taller now than it was when the school first opened and option A is the correct choice.

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. In each​ case, state the possible values of the random variable
yan [13]

Answer:

a) C. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are xequals​0, ​1, ​2,....

b) B. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x greater than or equals 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete variables are countable in a finite amount of time. Continuous variables can be infinitely many. They rather assume values in a range.

<u><em>(b) Is the weight of a Upper T dash bone steak discrete or​ continuous?</em></u>

B. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x greater than or equals 0.

Mice21 [21]

The correct answer is option B which is the actual product is about StartFraction 1 over 18 EndFraction less than the estimate.

<h3>What are fractions?</h3>

The fraction is defined as the division of the whole part into an equal number of parts. here we have the following information Vassil rounded to the nearest half to estimate the product of Five-eighths and StartFraction 8 over 9 EndFraction.

E =  \dfrac{5}{8}\times \dfrac{8}{9} = 0.55

Thus the product of the fraction estimated in the nearest half is,

0.5×1= 0.50

Therefore the correct answer is option B which is the actual product is about StartFraction 1 over 18 EndFraction less than the estimate.
