Hi there! I can help you! To solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. Candida ran 100 yards in 12.7 seconds and the timekeeper ran 100 yards in 11.4 seconds. Let's start with Candida. We could solve this by setting up the proportion to make it look like this: 100/12.7 = 220/x. You do this, because we're looking for the amount of time it would take for Candida to run 220 yards. Le'ts cross multiply the values. When you do that, you get 2,794 = 100x. Now, divide each side by 100 to isolate the "x". When you do, you get x = 27.94. x = 27.94. We found Candida's time. Now, let's look for the other person's time. Set up a proportion again. 100/11.4 = 220/x. We are looking for the other person's time. Repeat the steps. Cross multiply the values in order to get 2,508 = 100x. Now, divide each side by 100 to isolate the "x". When you do, you get 25.08. x = 25.08. We found the other person's time. Here are the answers easier to read.

Amount of time to run 220 yards

Candida: 27.94 seconds
Other person's time: 25.08 seconds

When doing blood testing for a viral infection, the procedure can be made more efficient and less expensive by combining partial

Verdich [7]

Answer: 0.271

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of complement of an even is 1 decreased by the probability of the event

P(At least one) =1 - P(none)

The probability that of testing negative is 0.9 because the probability of testing positive is 0.1

P( at least one) = 1 - P(none) = 1 - (0.93^3) = 0.271

Let x1 = 12, y1 = 15, and y2 = 3. Let y vary inversely with x. Find x2.

Ostrovityanka [42]

We have that an inverse variation in a function is given by:
$y = k / x
$
We must find the value of the constant k.
To do this, we substitute the values of x1 = 12, y1 = 15.
We have then:
$15 = k / 12
$
Clearing k we have:
$k = (15) * (12)

k = 180$
Substituting the value of k we have that the inverse variation is:
$y = 180 / x
$
For y2 = 3 we have:
$3 = 180 / x2
$
Clearing x2 we have:
$x2 = 180/3$
$x2 = 60$
Answer:
$x2 = 60$
