Answer:
4 3/8 cups of baking soda
Step-by-step explanation:
1 3/4 cups of baking soda are needed to make 1 batch of a homemade cleaning product,
Cups of baking soda : batches of homemade cleaning
1 3/4 cups : 1 batch
How many total cups of baking soda I needed to make 2 1/2 batches of the cleaning product?
Let x = total cups of baking soda needed
Cups of baking soda : batches of homemade cleaning
x cups : 2 1/2 batches
Equate the ratios
1 3/4 cups : 1 batch = x cups : 2 1/2 batches
7/4 ÷ 1 = x ÷ 5/2
7/4 × 1/1 = x * 2/5
7/4 = 2/5x
Divide both sides by 2/5
x = 7/4 ÷ 2/5
= 7/4 × 5/2
Cross product
x = 35/8
= 4 3/8 cups of baking soda
X=11/10 that is what x equal I think
95% of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
In this case,
- The mean M is 3 and
- The standard deviation SD is given as 0.25
Assume the bell shaped graph of normal distribution,
The center of the graph is mean which is 3 minutes.
We move one space to the right side of mean ⇒ M + SD
⇒ 3+0.25 = 3.25 minutes.
Again we move one more space to the right of mean ⇒ M + 2SD
⇒ 3 + (0.25×2) = 3.5 minutes.
Similarly,
Move one space to the left side of mean ⇒ M - SD
⇒ 3-0.25 = 2.75 minutes.
Again we move one more space to the left of mean ⇒ M - 2SD
⇒ 3 - (0.25×2) =2.5 minutes.
The questions asks to approximately what percent of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes.
Notice 2.5 and 3.5 fall within 2 standard deviations, and that 95% of the data is within 2 standard deviations. (Refer to bell-shaped graph)
Therefore, the percent of red lights that last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes is 95%
The percentage increase in staff was 60.6%.
