Answer:
<u>Question 1:</u>
5 pints per hour
<u>Question 2:</u>
480 tons per day
<u>Question 3:</u>
12 miles per gallon of gasoline
<u />
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Question 1:</u>
<h2><em>In the morning;</em></h2>
A farm worker packed 3 pints of grapes every 4 minutes.
1 minute =
hours
Packing rate in pints per hour = 3 pints ÷
hours = 45 pints per hour
<h2><em>In the afternoon;</em></h2>
She packed 2 pints of grapes every 3 minutes.
Packing rate in pints per hour = 2 pints ÷
hours = 40 pints per hour.
The difference between her morning and afternoon packing rates (in pints per hour) = 45 pints per hour - 40 pints per hour = 5 pints per hour
<u>Question 2:</u>
A recycling plant processes an average of
tons of glass each minute.
1 hour = 60 minutes
The number of tons of glass processed in 1 hour is:
× 60 = 20 tons of glass in 1 hour.
1 day = 24 hours
Number of tons of glass processed in a day = 20 tons × 24 = 480 tons
<u>Question 3:</u>
A vehicle uses 1
gallons of gasoline to travel 13
miles.
Per 1 gallon of gasoline the vehicle will travel:
1 × 13
÷ 1
= 12 miles
We know P = 1/2
X~B(2, 0.5)
n = 1
2C1 from pascal triangle = 2
P(X=0.5)= 2C1 x 0.5 x 0.5
= 0.5
= 50%
Answer:________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
135 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as
A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )
To calculate h use Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle on the left
h² + 8² = 17²
h² + 64 = 289 ( subtract 64 from both sides )
h² = 225 ( take the square root of both sides )
h =
= 15 , thus
A = 9 × 15 = 135 units²
