Answer:

<em>Thus, the dimensions of the desk in the drawing are 4 cm long and 2 cm wide.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

The scale factor established to represent a desk 2 meters long and 1 meter wide is:

1 centimeter = 0.5 meter

We need to convert the real dimensions to the scaled dimensions. To complete the task, it's a good idea to multiply the real dimensions by the ratio:

\displaystyle \frac{1\ cm}{0.5\ m}

to get the scaled dimensions.

The length of 2 meters is scaled to:

\displaystyle 2\ m\frac{1\ cm}{0.5\ m}=4\ cm

And the width of 1 meter is scaled to:

\displaystyle 1\ m\frac{1\ cm}{0.5\ m}=2 cm

Thus, the dimensions of the desk in the drawing are 4 cm long and 2 cm wide.

Marco gana 1200 mensualmente . La mitad de su dinero es entregado a su mama de lo que le queda gasta en la tercera parte en ropa
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A Marco le sobra 400.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marco gana 1200 mensualmente. La mitad de su dinero es entregado a su mamá.

La mitad de un número se calcula dividiendo el número por 2. Por lo que la mitad de lo ganado por Marco se calcula:

1200 ÷2= 600

Por lo que Marco entrega a su mamá 600 mensualmente, y quedan 600, obtenido de la resta entre lo ganado mensualmente y lo entregado a su madre.

De lo que le queda gasta en la tercera parte en ropa. La tercera parte de un número se calcula dividiendo el número por 3. Entonces:

600 ÷3= 200

Entonces Marco gasta 200 en ropa. Por lo que resta es 400, obtenido por la diferencia entre los 600 que poseía luego de entregar dinero a su madre y lo gastado en ropa.

Entonces, <u><em>a Marco le sobra 400.</em></u>

If a 60 year old buys a $1000 life insurance policy at a cost of $50 and has a probability of 0.954 of living to age 61 find the
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The expectation of the policy until the person reaches 61 is of -$4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

0.954 probability of a loss of $50.

1 - 0.954 = 0.046 probability of "earning" 1000 - 50 = $950.

Find the expectation of the policy until the person reaches 61.

Each outcome multiplied by it's probability, so:

E = -0.954*50 + 0.046*950 = -4

The expectation of the policy until the person reaches 61 is of -$4.

Cuál es el perímetro del triángulo amarillo?​
Maslowich

Answer:

a/2 + b unidades

Step-by-step explanation:

Mi primera lengua es ingles (tienes paciencia por favor). Se da que la parte inferior es a/2 unidades. La parte anaranjada tiene un lado que es b/2, entonces todos los lados son b/2 tambien. Entonces el lado del derecho es b/2. La izquierda es b/2 tambien ( se da eso). Entonces el perimetro del triangulo amarillo es a/2 + b/2 + b/2 = a/2 + b unidades.
