If John can paint half of a room in two-thirds of an hour, what part of the room can he paint in a full hour?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<h2>0.75(3/4) part of the room</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

we can express the given data mathematically as

John can paint 0.5room in 2/3 hours

let the part of the room he can paint in an hour be x

so

if he takes 2/3 hours to paint 0.5 room

then he will take 1 hour to paint x

cross multiply we have

x= 0.5/2/3

x=0.5*3/2

x= 1.5/2

x=0.75 part of the room

75/100= 15/20=3/4 part

Suppose that Jamal can choose to get home from work by taxi or bus. When he chooses to get home by taxi, he arrives home after 7
qwelly [4]

Answer:

0.55

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four things you need to keep in mind,and the question is too easy to solve , so following are those four things

1)Jamal travelling by Taxi before 7 PM

   It is given that Jamal uses the bus for 70 percent of the time so he will use the taxi for (100-70)%=30% of the time.

and also it is given that he arrives home by taxi after 7 PM , 15% of the time so he will arrive home by taxi before 7 PM ,(100-15)=85% of the time,

so by multiplication law of probability , the probability that Jamal will arrive by taxi before 7 PM =0.30*0.85=.255

2)Jamal travelling by Taxi after 7 PM

Similarly by considering the above situations as described in first part,

the probability that Jamal will arrive by taxi after 7 PM=0.30*0.15=.045

3) Jamal travelling by Bus before 7 PM

Now considering the case of the bus, it is given that Jamal arrives home after 7 PM 8 percent of the time. so for before 7 PM it will be 100-8= 92%

Similarly the probability that Jamal will arrive by bus before 7 PM=0.70*0.92=.644

4) Jamal travelling by Bus after 7 PM

Similarly on the basis of above explanation we can easily say that the probability that Jamal will arrive by bus after 7 PM=0.70*.08=.056

so, the probability that Jamal chose to get home from work by bus, given that he arrived home after 7 pm==\frac{Jamal travelling by bus after 7 PM}{(Jamal travelling by taxi after 7 PM +Jamal travelling by bus after 7 PM}

=\frac{0.056}{0.056+0.045}

=\frac{0.056}{0.101} \\=0.554

What is the meaning of a composite number?
zaharov [31]
Composite number is a positive integer that can be formed by multiplying together two smaller positive integers. Equivalently, it is a positive integer that has at least one divisor other than 1 and itself.[1][2] Every positive integer is composite, prime, or the unit 1, so the composite numbers are exactly the numbers that are not prime and not a unit.

For example, the integer 14 is a composite number because it is the product of the two smaller integers 2 × 7. Likewise, the integers 2 and 3 are not composite numbers because each of them can only be divided by one and itself
