Mark wants to paint a mural. He has 1 1/8 gallons of yellow paint, 1 1/9 gallons of green paint, and 7/8 gallons of blue paint.

Mark plans to use 3/4 a gallon of each paint color. How many gallons of paint will he have left after painting the mural? Enter your answer as a simplified fraction.

Answer:

<u>We have 31/36 gallons of paint left after painting the mural.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

"Mark wants to paint a mural. He has 1 1/8 gallons of yellow paint, 1 1/9 gallons of green paint, and 7/8 gallons of blue paint. Mark plans to use 3/4 a gallon of each paint color. How many gallons of paint will he have left after painting the mural? Enter your answer as a simplified fraction."

==================================================================

First change each number into a improper fraction:

1 1/8 = 9/8

1 1/9 = 10/9

7/8 = 7/8

=================================================================

"If Mark has 9/8 gallons of yellow paint, and he uses 3/4 gallons"

  -We have to multiply 3/4 by 2/2 to make the denominators same.

3/4 × 2/2 = 6/8

Now subtract 6/8 from 9/8.

9/8 - 6/8 = 3/8

We will have 3/8 gallons of yellow paint.

==================================================================

"If Mark uses 10/9 gallons of green paint, and he uses 3/4 gallons"

     - We have to multiply 10/9 by 4/4, and 3/4 by 9/9, to get a common denominator.

10/9 × 4/4 = 40/36

3/4 × 9/9 = 27/36

Now subtract 27/36 from 40/36

40/36 - 27/36 = 13/36

We will have 13/36 gallons of green paint.

==================================================================

"If Mark uses 7/8 gallons of blue paint, and he uses 3/4 gallons"

        -We have to multiply 3/4  by 2/2 to get a common denominator.

3/4 × 2/2 = 6/8

Now subtract 6/8 from 7/8.

7/8 - 6/8 = 1/8

We will have 1/8 gallons of yellow paint.

==================================================================

Now, we will add the leftover amounts of paint to find the answer.

3/8 + 13/36 + 1/8

Add "like terms".

4/8 + 13/36

Simplify 4/8 into 1/2

1/2 + 13/ 36

Multiply 1/2 by 18/18 to get a common denominator.

1/2 × 18/18 = 18/36

Substitute 18/36 as 1/2 in the expression.

18/36 + 13/36 = 31/36

<u>So, We have 31/36 gallons of paint left after painting the mural.</u>

==================================================================

8x+16=14x<br><br><br>checking my awnser
Firdavs [7]

8x + 16 = 14x

To solve this equation, move everything containing the variable you want to solve for on one side of the equation and everything else to the other side of the equation.

Let's start by subtracting 8x from both sides to have the variable x all on the right side of the equation. Once you subtract 8x from both sides, your equation will now look like this:

16 = 6x

To solve for the variable x, you want to divide both sides of the equation by 6 to isolate x and therefore find your answer. Divide both sides by 6 and your equation should look like this:

16/6 = x

Simplifying 16/6 into a mixed number ⇒ 2 2/3

Your answer is x = 16/6 or 2 2/3.

Labor economists have extensively researched the determinants of earnings. Invest-ment in human capital, measured in years of ed
never [62]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation for other solutions

Years, Inning and saves are statistically significant ; ERA is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Earning for staying one additional year :

Multiply slope value of years * 1 = 0.052 * 1 * 100 % = 5.2% (earning increases by 5.2%)

Relives with 10 more saves :

10 * 0.0032 * 100% = 3.2% (earning increases by 3.2%)

Having 100 more innings :

100 * 0.00089 * 100% = 8.9%

If ERA is reduced by 1.5 ; earning will increase by (0.0085*100)% * 1.5 = 1.275%

B.) At 5% level of confidence :

α = 1.64

Years = 0.052/0.026=2

Inning = 0.00089/0.00020 = 4.45

Saves = 0.0032/0.0018 = 1.78

ERA = 0.0085/0.0168 = 0.51

Years, Inning and saves are statistically significant as they are greater than α ; As for ERA, it is not statistically significant (0.51 < 1.64)

A recent survey found that 30% of telephone users have switched completely to cell phone use (i.e. they do not have landlines in
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The probability that exactly 30% of these 10 telephone users do not have landlines in their homes is 0.2668.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a recent survey found that 30% of telephone users have switched completely to cell phone use (i.e. they do not have landlines in their homes).

A random sample of 10 of these customers is selected.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r}; x = 0,1,2,3,......

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 10 customers

            r = number of success = 30% of 10 = 3

            p = probability of success which in our question is the probability

                  that telephone users do not have landlines in their homes,

                   i.e. p = 30%

Let X = <u><em>Number of telephone users who do not have landlines in their homes</em></u>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 10, p = 0.30)

Now, the probability that exactly 30% of these 10 telephone users do not have landlines in their homes is given by = P(X = 3)

           P(X = 3) =  \binom{10}{3}\times 0.30^{3} \times (1-0.30)^{10-3}

                         =  120 \times 0.30^{3} \times 0.70^{7}

                         =  <u>0.2668</u>
