Answer: 6/5

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the reciprocal, we essentially just "flip" or take the inverse of the number we are given. For example, the reciprocal of 1/2 would be 2/1 or 2. The given number multiplied by the reciprocal should always equal 1. If it does, then we know we are correct.

In this case, we are finding the reciprocal of 5/6, so we "flip" the numerator and the denominator to get 6/5.

To check our work, we need to multiply our original number and its reciprocal.

5/6 x 6/5 = 30/30 = 1

Now, we know we are correct, that the reciprocal of 5/6 is 6/5.

Answer:

About 3 years Speedy Jet printers be guaranteed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Quality control studies for Speedy Jet Computer Printers show the lifetime of the printer follows a normal distribution with

mean $\mu = 4$ and standard deviation $\sigma = 0.78$

If the company wishes to replace no more than 10% of the printers.

To find : How long should Speedy Jet printers be guaranteed ?

Solution :

Using Z- table,

Z value corresponding to 10% or 0.10 = -1.28.

Applying z-score formula,

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

The value of x is given by,

$x=(z\times \sigma)+\mu$

Substitute the values,

$x=(-1.28\times 0.78)+4$

$x=-0.9984+4$

$x=3.0016$

So, approx 3 years.

Therefore, About 3 years Speedy Jet printers be guaranteed.

Answer:

14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus on the triangle, and temporarily neglect the 2 ft measurement at the top of the triangle. Then the 2 legs of the triangle have lengths h - 2 ft and 5 ft, and the hypotenuse is 13.

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem, we get:

13^2 = (h - 2)^2 + 5^2, or

169 = h^2 - 4h + 4 + 25, or

144 = h^2 - 4h + 4, or

140 = h^2 - 4h, or, finally,

h^2 - 4h - 140 = 0. We must find the value of h.

I graphed this function on a calculator and found that -10 is a zero. Thus, the function factors into (h + 10)(h - 14) = 0, or h = 14.

The total height of the piece of plywood is 14 ft.

Check this: does a right triangle with legs (14 - 2) and 5 have a hypotenuse of 13? Yes.

Which expression represent a number that is one fourth as great as 10-2

Nataliya [291]

I think the answer to the expression would be D. (10 - 2) x 4 because (10 - 2) would be multiplied 4 times, which means it would be four times greater. I hope this made sense and also helped you in some way.
