Answer:

\displaystyle =\frac{0.5\text{ ft}}{\text{day}}

The weed grows at a rate of 0.5 feet per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weed grows at a rate of 0.25 inches per hour.

And we want to convert this rate into feet per day.

We have that:

\displaystyle \frac{0.25\text{ in}}{\text{hr}}

We knowt that there are 12 inches in one foot.

And since we want to cancel the inches, we can write our conversion factor as ft / 12 in.

We also know that there are 24 hours in one day.

And since we want to cancel the hours, we can write our conversion factor as 24 hr / day.

Hence:

\displaystyle \frac{0.25\text{ in}}{\text{hr}}\cdot\frac{\text{ft}}{12\text{ in}}\cdot \frac{24\text{ hr}}{\text{day}}

Multiply and cancel common terms. So:

\displaystyle =\frac{0.5\text{ ft}}{\text{day}}

The weed grows at a rate of 0.5 feet per day.

The average number of claims per hour made to an insurance company is 3.
solong [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have it that x follows a poisson distribution.

λ is equal to 3

The poisson distribution is given by:

P(x) = e^-λ * λ^X/X!

λ = 3

X = 4

A. The question had already given us the X value to be 4

p(x = 4)

= e^-3 x 3⁴/4!

= e^-3 = 0.001

3⁴= 34

4! = 81

putting all values into p(x=4)

= .001x81/24

= 0.1680

b. for 3 good hours, we will have lamda to be;

3x3 = 9

p(x = 6)

= e^-9 * 9⁶/6!

= 0.0911

Convert 5.764764764 … to a rational expression in the form of a over b, where b ≠ 0
zubka84 [21]
I just learned a short time ago how to convert a repeating decimal to a fraction.

-- Take the repeating part of the decimal.  In this one, it's '764' .

-- Make a fraction out of it by writing it over the same number of 9s.

       The fraction here is        764/999 .

-- Simplify it if possible and if you feel like it.

         764/999 can't be simplified.  (I think.)

So the rational expressions for this decimal are

           (5 and 764/999)     or     5759/999   .
