<h3>
Answer: $4.46</h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
3 containers = 6.69 dollars
3/3 containers = 6.69/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3
1 container = 2.23 dollars
2*(1 container) = 2*(2.23 dollars) ... multiply both sides by 2
2 containers = 4.46 dollars
A shortcut is to start with "3 containers = 6.69 dollars" and multiply both sides by 2/3
Each mention of "container" refers to a half-gallon container.
You need two pieces and 1 has to be 2x longer than the other
set x as the smaller piece (easier to always go with the smaller value as x)
the other piece is 2x (double in size)
your equations would be 3x=240>>> x= 60
so smaller piece/ x= 60
bigger piece/ 2x= 120
Measure 2 sides, then multiply them, and divide by 2.
Answer:
1899
Step-by-step explanation:
The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.
99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we have that:
Mean = 3234
Standard deviation = 871
Percentage of newborns who weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams:
1492 = 3234 - 2*871
So 1492 is two standard deviations below the mean.
4976 = 3234 + 2*871
So 4976 is two standard deviations above the mean.
By the Empirical Rule, 95% of newborns weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams.
Out of 1999:
0.95*1999 = 1899
So the answer is 1899
