Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define:

sw: number of sweaters

j: number of jeans

sk: number of skirts

The following three equations are established from the question:

sw + j + sk = 120

sw/j = 8/3

j/sk = 3/4 or sk/j = 4/3

Dividing the first equation by j, we get:

sw/j + j/j + sk/j = 120/j

8/3 + 1 + 4/3 = 120/j

5 = 120/j

j = 120/5 = 24

sw = 24*8/3 = 64

sk = 24*4/3 = 32

After the replacement the new number of jeans and skirts are:

j' = 24 - 4 = 20

sk' = 32 + 4 = 36

the new ratio of jeans to skirts is:

j'/sk' = 20/36 = 5/9

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

using 180 minus 94 we can find the inner left angle of the triangle as 86 degrees and using 86 plus 54 we get 140. 180 minus 140 for the last angle F so 40 degrees

Answer:

$130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an inequality that relates the height h, in centimeters, of an adult female and the length f, in centimeters, of her femur by the equation

$|h - (2.47f + 54.10)| \leq 3.72$

If an adult female measures her femur as 32.25 centimeters, we can determine the possible range of her height by plugging f = 32.25cm into the modelled equation as shown:

$|h - (2.47(32.25) + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (79.9045 + 54.10)| \leq 3.72\\|h - (134.0045)| \leq 3.72\\$

If the modulus function is positive then:

$h - 134.0045 \leq 3.72\\h \leq 3.71+134.0045\\h\leq 137.7245$

If the modulus function is negative then:

$-(h - 134.0045) \leq 3.72\\-h+134.0045 \leq 3.72\\-h\leq 3.72-134.0045\\-h\leq -130.2845\\$

multiply through by -1

$-(-h)\geq -(-130.2845)\\h\geq 130.2845\\130.2845\leq h$

combining the resulting inequalities, the estimate of the possible range of heights will be $130.2845\leq h\leq 137.7245$
