The rectangular rug in Marcia's living room measures 12 feet by 109 inches. What is the rug's area in square feet?

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

109 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

109 in: = 109/12 = 9.0833333.... = 9 5/60 = (540+5)/60 = 545/60

Area = L*w

L = 545/60 feet

W = 12 feet

Area = 545/60 * 12

Area = 545*12/60

Area = 545 /5 = 109 square feet.

Samantha spent 40 minutes on homework. Sixty percent of that time was spent on language arts.how many minutes were spent on lang

yan [13]

If you would like to know how many minutes were spent on language arts, you can calculate this using the following steps:

60% of 40 minutes = 60% * 40 = 60/100 * 40 = 24 minutes

The correct result would be: 24 minutes were spent on language arts.

The probability that a male will be colorblind is .042. Find the probabilities that in a group of 53 men, the following are true

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

See below for answers and explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

$\displaystyle P(X=x)=\binom{n}{x}p^xq^{n-x}\\\\P(X=5)=\binom{53}{5}(0.042)^5(1-0.042)^{53-5}\\\\P(X=5)=\frac{53!}{(53-5)!*5!}(0.042)^5(0.958)^{48}\\\\P(X=5)\approx0.0478$

Part B

$P(X\leq5)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4)+P(X=5)\\\\P(X\leq5)=\binom{53}{1}(0.042)^1(1-0.042)^{53-1}+\binom{53}{2}(0.042)^2(1-0.042)^{53-2}+\binom{53}{3}(0.042)^3(1-0.042)^{53-3}+\binom{53}{4}(0.042)^4(1-0.042)^{53-4}+\binom{53}{1}(0.042)^5(1-0.042)^{53-5}\\\\P(X\leq5)\approx0.9767$

Part C

$\displaystyle P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X=0)\\\\P(X\geq1)=1-(1-0.042)^{53}\\\\P(X\geq1)\approx1-0.1029\\\\P(X\geq1)\approx0.8971$

During a scuba dive, Lainey descended to a point 19 feet below the ocean surface. She continued her descent at a rate of 25 feet

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

$25t+19\leq 144$

$t\leq5$

The number of minutes she can continue to descend if she does not want to reach a point more than 144 feet below the ocean surface is at most 5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial depth of the scuba dive = 19 ft

Rate of descent = 25 ft/min

Maximum depth to be reached = 144 ft

Now, after 't' minutes, the depth reached by the scuba dive is equal to the sum of the initial depth and the depth covered in 't' minutes moving at the given rate.

Framing in equation form, we get:

Total depth = Initial Depth + Rate of descent × Time

Total depth = $19+25t$

Now, as per question, the total depth should not be more than 144 feet. So,

$\textrm{Total depth}\leq 144\ ft\\\\19+25t\leq 144\\\\or\ 25t+19\leq 144$

Solving the above inequality for time 't', we get:

$25t+19\leq 144\\\\25t\leq 144-19\\\\25t\leq 125\\\\t\leq \frac{125}{25}\\\\t\leq 5\ min$

Therefore, the number of minutes she can continue to descend if she does not want to reach a point more than 144 feet below the ocean surface is at most 5 minutes.
