Set up the proportion line up minutes with minutes and miles with miles so it would be x over 60 36 over 45 and u get 48

Set up a ratio
36/45=x/60

Cross multiply and solve for x
(36)(60)/45 = x
x = 48 miles

Answer:

3 minutes

5 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, Amelia can wash 8 plates in 24 minutes.

So, if this rate remains constant then 1 plate will be washed in $\frac{24}{8} = 3$ minutes.

Again, it is given that, Amelia bakes 12 cookies in 60 minutes.

So, if this rate also remains constant then she will bake 1 cookie in $\frac{60}{12} = 5$ minutes. ( Answer )

A food processor packages orange juice in small jars. The weights of the filled jars are approximately normally distributed with

Ratling [72]

Answer:

$P(X>10.983)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{10.983-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{10.983-10.5}{0.3})=P(z>1.61)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:

$P(z>1.61)=1-P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the weights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(10.5,0.3)$

Where $\mu=10.5$ and $\sigma=0.3$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X>10.983)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(X>10.983)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{10.983-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{10.983-10.5}{0.3})=P(z>1.61)$

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and with excel or the normal standard table:

$P(z>1.61)=1-P(z$

The surface areas of two similar solids are 340 yd² and 1,158 yd². The volume of the larger solid is 1,712 yd³. What is the volu

ratelena [41]

The ratio of surface area is equal to the ratio of the square of the corresponding dimensions. And ratio of volumes of two solids is equal to the cube of the ratio of the corresponding dimensions .

We start with the relation between ratio of surface area and ratio of corresponding sides. That is

$\frac{340}{1158}=(\frac{x}{y} )^2$
