Answer:

The entire floor can contain approximately 4178 fans

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to calculate the area of the basketball floor.

we can do this by multiplying the length by the breadth as such 94 X 50 = 4700 square feet.

The second step is to calculate the area occupied by 8 of the fans. We can do this by multiplying 3 ft by 3ft = 9 square feet.

From this, it will be easier to estimate the area occupied by only one fan. This can be got by dividing 9 square feet by 8.

This is = 1.125 square feet.

To get the number of students it can occupy, we divide the total area of the court by the area occupied by one student.

4700/ 1.125 =4177.8 $\approx$ 4178 fans

20% of 57 is what number ? The proportion is ?

Elanso [62]

Answer:

11.4

20/100 = x/57

Step-by-step explanation:

It is perhaps simplest just to translate the given English sentence into a mathematical sentence.

... 20% ... ... of ... 57 ... is ... what number

... 20/100 ... × ... 57 .... = ... what number . . . . . . . . translation to math sentence

... 11.4 = what number . . . . . . . . carry out the multiplication

_____

If you're asked to write this as a proportion, you can write it like this:

$\dfrac{20}{100}=\dfrac{\text{what number}}{57}$

You can solve this proportion by multiplying by 57 (the denominator under "what number"). Doing so gives you the same arithmetic sentence as shown above.

Evaluate C_n.xP^xQn-x For the given n=7, x=2, p=1/2

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The value of given expression is $\frac{21}{128}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: n=7, x=2, p=1/2

$q=1-p=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$

The given expression is

$C(n,x)p^xq^{n-x}$

It can be written as

$^nC_xp^xq^{n-x}$

Substitute n=7, x=2, p=1/2 and q=1/2 in the above formula.

$^7C_2(\frac{1}{2})^2(\frac{1}{2})^{7-2}$

$\frac{7!}{2!(7-2)!}(\frac{1}{2})^2(\frac{1}{2})^{5}$

$\frac{7!}{2!5!}(\frac{1}{2})^{2+5}$

$\frac{7\times 6\times 5!}{2\times 5!}(\frac{1}{2})^{2+5}$

$21(\frac{1}{2})^{7}$

$\frac{21}{128}$

Therefore the value of given expression is $\frac{21}{128}$ .

Avon Edwards worked 45.5 hours at $5 per hour. He made $100 in tips but no bonuses. Anything over 40 hours is paid time-and-a-ha

posledela

Answer:

1. D

2. B

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1:

We can get Avon's earnings using the equation $W=HR+1.5VR+B+T$

Where W is his earnings

HR is the regular hours (40 hours in this case)

V is overtime hours (hours over 40, 45.5 - 40 = 5.5 hours)

B is bonus (no bonus)

T is tips ( $100 tips, given)

and R is the rate (which is $5 per hour)

Substituting the given info into the equation, we get:

$W=HR+1.5VR+B+T\\W=(40)(5)+1.5(5.5)(5)+0+100\\W=341.25$

So avon's earnings are $341.25

Answer choice D is right.

Question 2:

The other employee needs to work $x$ hours @ $15 per hour to equate or surpass $428. So we can set up the equation shown below and solve for x:

$(15)(x)=428\\x=\frac{428}{15}\\x=28.53$

Rounded to 1 decimal place, this is about 28.5 hours

Answer choice B is right.
