Answer:
Shorter piece length is 18 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's marked first piece with x and second with y
x + y = 42
Given ratio is x : y = 3 : 4
From this proportion we get
x = 3 c and y = 4 c where c is coefficient of proportionality
when we replace this in initial equation we get
3 c + 4 c = 42 => 7 c = 42 => c = 42/7 = 6 c = 6
x = 3 · 6 = 18 inches and z = 4 · 6 = 24 inches
shorter piece is x = 18 inches
God with you!!!
The answer would be 16. She gave Erin 6 and kept two. That would be 8 oranges between the two of them and David got half, making the total 16 oranges.
It differs because dilation changes the shape but not the orientation or place the shape is located.
Supposing, for the sake of illustration, that the mean is 31.2 and the std. dev. is 1.9.
This probability can be calculated by finding z-scores and their corresponding areas under the std. normal curve.
34 in - 31.2 in
The area under this curve to the left of z = -------------------- = 1.47 (for 34 in)
1.9
32 in - 31.2 in
and that to the left of 32 in is z = ---------------------- = 0.421
1.9
Know how to use a table of z-scores to find these two areas? If not, let me know and I'll go over that with you.
My TI-83 calculator provided the following result:
normalcdf(32, 34, 31.2, 1.9) = 0.267 (answer to this sample problem)
500 meters because there are 1000 kilometers equals one kilometer. 0.5 is half of 1 so, the half of 1000 meters is 500 meters.
HOPE THIS helps you !!
