Answer:

The percentage change is 140%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

L= 3W_1 ---- initial dimension

W_2 = 6m --- new width

A_2 = 45m^2 --- new dimension

Required

The percentage increment

The length remains constant because only the width is extended.

The new area is:

Area =Length * Width

A_2=L * W_2

Make L the subject

L = \frac{A_2}{ W_2}

Substitute values for A and W

L = \frac{45m^2}{6m}

L = \frac{45m}{6}

L = 7.5m --- this is the length of the garden

Calculate the initial width:

L= 3W_1

Make W1 the subject

W_1 = \frac{1}{3} * L

W_1 = \frac{1}{3} * 7.5

W_1 = 2.5

So, the initial area is:

A_1 = L_1 * W_1

A_1 = 2.5 * 7.5

A_1 = 18.75

The percentage change in area is:

\%A = \frac{A_2 - A_1}{A_1}

\%A = \frac{45 - 18.75}{18.75}

\%A = \frac{26.25}{18.75}

\%A = 1.4

Express as percentage

\%A = 1.4*100\%

\%A = 140\%

As a lifeguard, you can earn $5 per day plus $7.50 per hour. How many hours you must work to earn $50 in one day?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Earnings = 5 + 7.50x  You want to earn 50.00

50 = 5 + 7.50x             Set up equation  

45 = 7.50x                    Subtract 5

45/7.50 = (7.50/7.50) x Divide by 7.5

x = 6

You need to work 6 hours.

A factory worker productivity is normally distributed. one worker produces an average of 75 units per day with a standard deviat
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Let Xi be the random variable representing the number of units the first worker produces in day i.
Define X = X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 + X5 as the random variable representing the number of units the
first worker produces during the entire week. It is easy to prove that X is normally distributed with mean µx = 5·75 = 375 and standard deviation σx = 20√5.
Similarly, define random variables Y1, Y2,...,Y5 representing the number of units produces by
the second worker during each of the five days and define Y = Y1 + Y2 + Y3 + Y4 + Y5. Again, Y is normally distributed with mean µy = 5·65 = 325 and standard deviation σy = 25√5. Of course, we assume that X and Y are independent. The problem asks for P(X > Y ) or in other words for P(X −Y > 0). It is a quite surprising fact that the random variable U = X−Y , the difference between X and Y , is also normally distributed with mean µU = µx−µy = 375−325 = 50 and standard deviation σU, where σ2 U = σ2 x+σ2 y = 400·5+625·5 = 1025·5 = 5125. It follows that σU = √5125. A reference to the above fact can be found online at http://mathworld.wolfram.com/NormalDifferenceDistribution.html.
Now everything reduces to finding P(U > 0) P(U > 0) = P(U −50 √5125 > − 50 √5125)≈ P(Z > −0.69843) ≈ 0.757546   .

What do the slope and y-intercept of a real-world linear function represent?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Word problems with linear equations (that is, with straight-line models) almost always work this way: the slope is the rate of change, and the y-intercept is the starting value.
