Answer:

m<RPS = 53 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram shown;

m<QPR + m<RPS = 90

Given that;

m<QPR = x

m<RPS = x+16

Substitute into the formula;

m<QPR + m<RPS = 90

x+x+16 = 90

2x+16 = 90

2x = 90-16

2x = 74

x = 74/2

x = 37degrees

Get m<RPS;

Since m<RPS = x+16

m<RPS = 37 + 16

m<RPS = 53 degrees

A biscuit recipe calls for 2 pounds of all purpose flour and .75 pound of butter, what would be the baker’s percentage for butte

Goryan [66]

Answer: 37.5%

Explanation:

Percentage is defined as parts of an amount in 100 parts of a basis. This must be stated mathamatically for better understanding and for calculations. It is the ratio:

% = (parts / base) × 100.

In this case you need to express the amount of butter as a part in 100 parts of all purpose flour, which, using the above definition, is:

% butter = (0.75 pounds of butter / 2 pound of flour) × 100

% butter = 0.75 × 100 / 2 = 75 / 2 = 37.5

The answer is expressed as 37.5%.

A number is doubled and then increased by three the result is 71 what is the original number

musickatia [10]

34 is the original number.
This is because 34 times 2 is 68 and 68 plus 3 is 71.

G is the centroid of triangle ABC. If BF=12, what is BG?<br> BG=?

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

BG = 8

EXPLANTAION :

we know that centroid of a triangle divides the median into ratio of 2 : 1 so,

BG : GF = 2 : 1

now, let's take BG as 2x and GF as x

and here, BG + GF = BF

So,

=》2x + x = 12

( because, BF = 12 )

=》3x = 12

=》x = 12 ÷ 3

=》x = 4

hence, x = 4

from here,

=》BG = 2x

=》BG = 2 × 4 = 8

In a recent year, an author wrote 169 checks. Use the Poisson distribution to find the probability that, on a randomly selecte

grigory [225]

We should first calculate the average number of checks he wrote per day. To do that, divide 169 by 365 (the number of days in a year) and you get (rounded) 0.463. This will be λ in our Poisson distribution. Our formula is
$P(X=k)= \frac{ \lambda ^{k}-e^{-\lambda} }{k!}$ . We want to evaluate this formula for X≥1, so first we must evaluate our case at k=0.
$P(X=0)= \frac{0.463 ^{0}-e ^{-0.463} }{0!} \\ = \frac{1-e ^{-0.463} }{1} =0.3706$
To find P(X≥1), we find 1-P(X<1). Since the author cannot write a negative number of checks, this means we are finding 1-P(X=0). Therefore we have 1-0.3706=0.6294.
There is a 63% chance that the author will write a check on any given day in the year.<em />
