scoundrel [369]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Joe: 3 hrs

Janet: 6hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

joe takes x hours

so in 1 hr he does 1/x of the garden

janet takes 2x hours

so in 1 hr she does 1/(2x) of the garden

In one hour together they do 1/2 of the garden

1/x + 1/(2x) = 1/2

2/(2x) + 1/(2x) = 1/2

3/(2x) = 1/2

Cross multiply

6 = 2x

x = 3

Joe: 3 hrs

Janet: 6hrs

A teacher has a box of pens and pencils. There are 8 more pencils than pens. After the students take 1 pen and 5 pencils from th
crimeas [40]
Let no. of pens be x.

Pens : x
Pencils: x+8

Total: 2x+8

Student takes 1 pen and 5 pencils.

Remainder: 2x+8 - 5 -1 = 2x+2
2x+2 = 26
2x= 24
x = 12 (original no. of pens)
x+ 8 = 20 (original no of pencils)

There are 12 pens at first and 20 pencils.
After 1 pen is taken, 11 pens are left.
After 5 pencils are taken, 20-5=15 pencils are left.

Given a data set consisting of 33 unique whole number observations, its five-number summary is:
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

given a data set of 33 unique whole number observation,its five number sumary is [16, 29, 40 ,54, 67]

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-th percentile in an ordered (from low to high) data set is a value such that p% of the data is less than that value. The quartiles of a data set are the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles. (The 25th percentile is usually called the first quartile, the 50th percentile is usually called the median, and the 75th percentile is usually called the third quartile.)

The formula for finding the location (or position) of the (approximate) pth percentile in an ordered (from low to high) data set is  

L p=(n+1).p/100

For example, in the data set  [2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18]

the (approximate) 60th percentile is located at position  

L 60=(9+1).60/100=6

that is, the sixth data point (the value 12) is at the (approximate) 60th percentile.(Actually, only 55.6% of the data is below a 12.)

50 POINTS PLEASE EXPLAIN ANSWER A slice is made perpendicular to the base of a right rectangular pyramid through the vertex.
Elza [17]
Um, we see that the slice created the triangle, and the formula to find the area of the triangle:
1/2×B×h where B represent Base and h represent height.
In this case, Base=5 cm
Height=11 cm
A=1/2×11×5
A=5.5×5
A=27.5 square cm. As a result, the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross section is 27.5 square cm. Hope it help!
