Answer:

\frac{3}{32} inches deeper is the new tire.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A new long life tire has a tread depth of \frac{1}{4} inches, instead of the more typical \frac{5}{32} inches.

To find : How much deeper is the new tire ?

Solution :

The difference in depth is found by the difference in the measurements.

A new long life tire has a tread depth of \frac{1}{4} inches.

The more typical has \frac{5}{32} inches.

So, The difference in the tire is

d=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{5}{32}

Take the least common denominator,

d=\frac{8-5}{32}

d=\frac{3}{32}

Therefore, \frac{3}{32} inches deeper is the new tire.

You have to make both of them to lowest common denominator. In this case the lowest common denominator is 16. So multiply 1/4 × 4 and devide 5/32 by 2. Then it is 4/16 and 2.5/16. Now it is easier to compare. I hope you understand what I mean, and that I was correct ☺

Four friends go out to eat and their meal costs $86.50. The sales tax is 6.75% and they tip the waiter 20%. How much should each
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$27.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Meal Cost = $86.50

Sales Tax= 6.75% of the Meal Cost

= 6.75% X 86.50

= 0.0675 X 86.50

=$5.84

They tipped the Waiter 20%

20% of 86.50

=0.2 X 86.50

=$17.30

Total Bill= Meal Cost + Sales Tax + Tip

= 86.50 +5.84 + 17.30

=$109.64

Since the friends are four, each one will be expected to pay:

$109.64/4

=$27.41

Each of the friends should pay $27.41 to the nearest cent.

Suppose someone gives you 8 to 2 odds that you cannot roll two even numbers with the roll of two fair dice. This means you win ​
krek1111 [17]

Complete question :

Suppose someone gives you 8 to 2 odds that you cannot roll two even numbers with the roll of two fair dice. This means you win $8 if you succeed and you lose $2 if you fail. What is the expected value of this game to​ you? What can you expect if you play 100 times.

Answer:

$0.5 ; win $50 with 100 rolls

Step-by-step explanation:

From a roll of two fair dice; probability of obtaining an even number :

Even numbers = (2, 4, 6) = 3

P = 3 /6 = 1 /2

For 2 fair dice ; probability of rolling two even numbers : independent event.

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4

Hence, p(success) = 1/4 ; P(failure) = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

Probability table

Winning = $8 or loss = - $2

X : ____ 8 ______ - 2

P(x) __ 1/4 ______ 3/4

Expected value : E(x) = ΣX*P(x)

E(x) = (8 * 1/4) + (-2 * 3/4)

E(x) = 2 - 1.5

E(x) = $0.5

Since expected value is positive, the expect to win

If played 100 times;

Expected value = 100 * $0.5 = $50
