Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

I suppose the question is what is Thaddeus' time to make the trip. This is a fairly common question but not everyone knows how to solve it.

Derivation of the Formula

Prescott + Thaddeus = 1 trip

So the logic of the equation is this.

distance = 1 trip

time = number of dates

rate = ?

rate = distance / time

To find out what the contribution of Thaddeus is set up  a distance time formula.

1/21 days is the rate for Prescott

1/x days is the rate for Thaddeus

Together the rate is 1/9

Solution

1/21 + 1/x = 1/9

Subtract 1/21  from both sides

1/x = 1/9 - 1/21

It's not obvious what the LCM is.

9 = 3 * 3

21 = 3 * 7

LCM: 7 * 3 *3 = 63

1/x = 7/63 - 3/63 = 4/63

1/x = 4/63                             Cross Multiply

4x = 63                                 Divide by 4

x = 63/4

Answer

x = 15 3/4

x = 15.75

A new restaurant is attracting customers with searchlights has a radius of 2 feet. What is the searchlights circumference?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

12.56 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of all its side.

Since circle doesn't have "sides", the perimeter is the length of the whole circle. This has the name "circumference".

The circumference of a circle has the formula:

C=2\pi r

Where

C is the circumference (perimeter of a circle)

r is the radius

Given,

r = 2 feet

We substitute and find the circumference, using 3.14 as \pi,

C=2\pi r\\C=2(3.14) (2)\\C=12.56

Hence, the circumference is 12.56 feet

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

a) 97.37%

b) 1.31%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)  

Here we want to calculate the area under the Normal curve with mean 0.52 and standard deviation 0.009 between 0.5 and 0.54

This can be easily done with a spreadsheet and we get

<em>P (0.5くV < 0.54) = 0.9737 or 97.37% </em>

(See picture 1)

b)

Here we want the area under the Normal curve with mean 0.52 and standard deviation 0.009 to the left of 0.5.

<em>P(V ≤ 0.5) = 0.0131 or 1.31% </em>

(See picture 2)
