There are 3 3/4 pounds of bricks in a bag. Each brick weighs 5/8 of a pound. How many bricks are in the bag.

Bess [88]

Answer: There are 6 bricks in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert from mixed number to decimal number. To do it, divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator and add the result to the whole number part. Then:

$3\frac{3}{4}\ lb=(3+0.75)\ lb=3.75\ lb$

Convert from fraction to decimal number. To do it you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. Then, you get:

$\frac{5}{8}lb=0.625\ lb$

Let be "x" the number of bricks in the bag<em>.</em>

<em> </em>Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{1}{0.625}=\frac{x}{3.75}$

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

$(3.75)(\frac{1}{0.625})=x\\\\x=6$

The figure shows a gas tank in the form of a rectangular prism that is 40% full. How many more gallons of gas will it take to fi

liubo4ka [24]

The problem statement suggests you should convert dimensions to inches to work this problem.
.. 2.75 ft = 33 in
.. 1.5 ft = 18 in
The empty height is
.. 0.6*7 in = 4.2 in
so the empty volume is
.. V = (33 in)*(18 in)*(4.2 in) = 2494.8 in³

Multiplying this by the conversion factor to gallons gives
.. V = (2494.8 in)³ × (1 gal)/(231 in³) = 10.8 gal

It will take 10.8 gallons of gas to fill the tank.

The article "Occurrence and Distribution of Ammonium in Iowa Groundwater" (K. Schilling, Water Environment Research, 2002:177–18

Papessa [141]

Answer: 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions would be (1.31, 1.39).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of alluvial wells = 349

Number of quaternary wells = 143

Number of alluvial wells that had concentrations above 0.1 = 182

Number of quaternary wells that had concentrations above 0.1 = 112

Average of alluvial wells = 0.27

Standard deviation = 0.4

Average of quaternary wells = 1.62

Standard deviation =1.70

So, 95% confidence interval gives

alpha = 5% level of significance.

$\dfrac{\alpha}{2}=2.5\%\\\\z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}=1.96$

So, 95% confidence interval becomes,

$(1.62-0.27)\pm 1.96\sqrt{\dfrac{0.4^2}{349}+\dfrac{1.7^2}{143}}\\\\=1.35\pm 1.96\times 0.020\\\\=(1.35-0.040,1.35+0.040)\\\\=(1.31,1.39)$

Hence, 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions would be (1.31, 1.39).

emily read 24 fiction books and 2 nonfiction books. what is the ratio of the number of fiction books she read to the total numbe

Elis [28]

Answer:

24:26 or 12:13

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios can be better understood if you read 24:26 as: Emily read 24 fiction books for every 26 books.

The question tells us Emily read 24 fiction books and 2 nonfiction books. We know she read 24 fiction books so that is the first part of our ratio. Now, they want to know how many total books did she read. Well, she read 24 fiction and 2 nonfiction. 24+2 = 26. 26 books total! So now we have the second part of our ratio and end up with the ratio of 24:26. But now, we have to simplify it. Simplifying ratios is like simplyfing fractions. You have to find their greatest common factor. The greatest common factor of 24 and 26 is 2. Now you divide both number by their greatest common factor (2). Finally, we end up with the ratio of 12:13.

What is the value of "w" ?

NISA [10]

Answer:

w = $\sqrt{147}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

w² + 7² = 14²

w² + 49 = 196 ( subtract 49 from both sides )

w² = 147 ( take the square root of both sides )

w = $\sqrt{147}$
