Answer:

32 paperback books

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Width of hardcover books = 1 1/2 inches

Width of paperback books = 3/4 inches

Number of hardcover books already on shelf = 8

Total width of shelf = 3 feets

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence, total shelf width in inches = (12 * 3) = 36 inches

Total width of hardcover books = (8 * 1 1/2) = 12 inches

Total shelf width left = (36 - 12) inches = 24 inches

Maximum number of paperback books :

Total shelf width left / paperback width

24 inches / (3/4)inches = 32 paperback books

A small explanation would be really appreciated​
shutvik [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

the 2 angles marked with orange and green are equal becos the question said that the indicated angles are congruent meaning same deg. so 180 - that given angle = the 2 marked angles (based on the rule known as angles on a str line are supplementary)

since the 2 marked angles are same, you can say that d and k are parallel due to the rule of alternate angles

forsale [732]

Answer:

option (c) n = 201

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Standard deviation, s = 5.5 ounce

Confidence level = 99%

Length of confidence interval = 2 ounces

Therefore,

margin of error, E = (Length of confidence interval ) ÷ 2

= 2 ÷ 2

= 1 ounce

Now,

E = \frac{zs}{\sqrt n}

here,

z = 2.58 for 99% confidence interval

n = sample size

thus,

1 = \frac{2.58\times5.5}{\sqrt n}

or

n = (2.58 × 5.5)²

or

n = 201.3561 ≈ 201

Hence,

option (c) n = 201

I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out the formula to solve this problem.
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:Red price hast he least least cost per gram of apple.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) considering Royal Gala, 75 gram apple cost $0.41

The cost per gram is 0.41/75 = $0.0055

2) considering Honey crisp, 93 gram apple cost $0.82

The cost per gram is 0.82/93 = $0.0088

3) considering Red Prince, 81 gram apple cost $0.36

The cost per gram is 0.36/81 = $0.0044

Since $0.0044 per gram is the lowest of the three, then the type of apple with the least cost per gram is Red prince.

Answer: 130

In order to solve for <4, you need to know that supplementary angles add up to 180°. 
<3 = 50
180 - 50
130

**For future questions**
1. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°
2. Alternate interior angles are congruent
3. The exterior angle of a triangle is the sum of the nonadjacent interior angles
