Answer:
The big desk in your boss's office is 6.25 feet long.
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
The big desk in your boss's office is 75 inches long.
As the relationship between inches and feet.
As 1 feet = 12 inches
Now convert 75 inches into feet.
Therefore the big desk in your boss's office is 6.25 feet long.
All these cases represent experiments whose outcomes are all equaly likely. What we mean is that the cards have all the same probability of being dealt (1/52), and all the spaces of the spinner have the same probability of being landed into (1/5).
These probabilities are computed as 1 over all the possible outcomes.
(a) If you want a heart card and a five, you want the 5 of hearts. So, only one card would satisfy your request, and thus you have probability 1/52 of dealing the 5 of hearts.
(b) There are four 10s and four Jacks in the deck, so 8 cards satisfy your request. With probability 8/52, you'll be dealt a Jack or a 10.
(c) You have two "good" outcomes out of 5, so your probability is 2/5.
This question is solved applying the formula of the area of the rectangle, and finding it's width. To do this, we solve a quadratic equation, and we get that the cardboard has a width of 1.5 feet.
Area of a rectangle:
The area of rectangle of length l and width w is given by:
w(2w + 3) = 9
From this, we get that:
Solving a quadratic equation:
Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:
.
This polynomial has roots such that
, given by the following formulas:
In this question:
Thus a quadratic equation with
Then
Width is a positive measure, thus, the width of the cardboard is of 1.5 feet.
