Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Number of people = 6

Amount of Gold to be shared = 40lbs

Subtract 2/3 from your answer.

Therefore

If six people are to share 40lbs of gold evenly

= 40lbs / 6

Divide through by 2

= 20lbs / 3

= 20lbs / 3 - 2/3

= 18/3

= 6

Each person would get approximately 6lbs of gold

Answer:

1. Each individual gets 6\frac{2}{3}lb of gold

2. After subtracting by 1\frac{2}{3} , the result is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Size of Gold = 40 lbs

Number of people = 6

Required

1. Proportion of each individual

2. Subtract 1\frac{2}{3} from each proportion

1. Proportion of each individual

To calculate how many each individuals get (in other words, the proportion of each individual), we simply divide the total size of gold by the number of people

Mathematically,

Proportion = \frac{Total}{People}

Proportion = \frac{40}{6}

Reduce fraction to lowest term by dividing numerator and denominator by 2

Proportion = \frac{20}{3}

Convert to mixed fraction

Proportion = 6\frac{2}{3}

Hence each individual gets 6\frac{2}{3}lb of gold

2. Subtract 1\frac{2}{3} from each proportion

This is represented by

6\frac{2}{3} - 1\frac{2}{3}

Convert both fractions to improper fractions

= \frac{20}{3} - \frac{5}{3}

Find LCM of both fractions

= \frac{20 - 5}{3}

Subtract

= \frac{15}{3}

= 5

Hence, after subtracting by 1\frac{2}{3} , the result is 5

It’s 11:45 and you have an awesome appointment in 3 hours and 25 minutes. What time is your appointment? Please HELP!
stiks02 [169]

Answer: The time would be 3:00

There are 60 minute per hour. If it is 11:45, it's 25 minutes until 12:10. Once it is 12:10, the next hour (after 50 minutes) would be  1:00. so if you take 11:45 and add the 25 minutes from 3 hours and 25 minutes, it is 12:10 and you are left with 3 hours. 3 hours after 12:10 is 3:10

Collin is building a deck on the back of his house. He has enough lumber for the deck to be 144 square feet. The length should b
joja [24]
Width = x
length = x+10

Area of deck = 144 square feet

Area = length * width

144 = x(x+10)

Solving for x in a quadratic:

x²+10x = 144
x²+10x-144 = 0

Factor:
(x+18)(x-8) = 0

Solving for x:
x = 8, x = -18

Dimensions cannot be negative, therefore x = 8, only.

Length = x + 10
Length = 18

Width = 8

A certain academic program boasts that 87% of their graduates find full-time employment in their field within the first year of
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Option A, there is not sufficient sample evidence to conclude that the full-time placement rate is now less than 87% because the p-value is greater than 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the Null hypothesis would be

H0: 87% of the graduates find full-time employment in their field within the first year of graduation

H1: Less than 87% of the graduates find full-time employment in their field within the first year of graduation

Here the p values is 0.07.

Since the p value is greater than 0.05, there are not enough evidences to reject the hull hypothesis.

Hence, option A is correct
