Answer:

<em>6 1/2 inches</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If it is 1/2 an inch per hour, and it burns for 5 hours, you will multiple to find the amount of inches burned.

5 hours x 1/2 in./hour = 2.5 inches burned in five hours

Then subtract the total burned from 9.

9 - 2.5 = 6.5

David, Ben, and Jordan shared stickers in a ratio of 8 : 9 : 10. If Ben had 36 stickers, how many stickers did Jordan have?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Jordan had 40 stickers.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this ratio, we have David:Ben:Jordan as 8:9:10, and so we need to make it as a more complex fraction, 8/9/10, now we need a multiplier to get us from 9 stickers of Jordan to 36, like a giant one. The common multiplier in this case is 4, and we know that the values must always stay proportional. We multiply everything by 4,and we get a final ratio of 32:36:40, and since Jordan is the last in the ratio David:Ben:Jordan, Jordan ends up with 40 stickers.

The mean is μ = 15.2 and the standard deviation is σ = 0.9. find the probability that x is greater than 17.
Vlad1618 [11]
The probability that x >17 will be found as follows:
the z-score is given by:
z=(17-15.2)/0.9=2
Thus
P(X>17)=1-P(x<17)=P-(z=2)
=1-0.9772
=0.0228

Area of a circle = pi*r^2.

Here, A = 380.13 mi.  Unfortunately, "mi" is NOT a unit of area.

So I will assume that the problem should read   A = 380.13 sq. miles.
                                                                    380.12 mi^2
Thus,   380.13 mi^2 = 3.14*r^2, and r^2 = ------------------- 121.057 mi^2
                                                                           3.14

The radius is the sqrt of 121.057 mi^2:  11.00 miles.

The diam. is twice that, or d = 22.00 miles.
