Answer:

(a) 1.5 inches

(b) 2.5 inches

(c) 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

speed of first turtle = 4 1/2 inches per  minute = 9/2 inches per minute

speed of the second turtle = 5inches per minute

distance = speed x time

(a) Distance traveled by first turtle in 3 minutes

s = 9/2 x 3 = 13.5 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 3 minutes

s' = 5 x 3 = 15 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 15 - 13.5 = 1.5 inches

(b) Distance traveled by first turtle in 5 minutes

s = 9/2 x 5 = 22.5 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 5 minutes

s' = 5 x 5 = 25 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 25 - 22.5 = 2.5 inches

(c) Distance traveled by first turtle in 10 minutes

s = 9/2 x 10 = 45 inches

distance traveled by second turtle in 10 minutes

s' = 5 x 10 = 50 inches

So, the gap is

s'- s = 50 - 45 = 5 inches

satela [25.4K]

Answer: She needed 144 square feet of carpet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Maria is buying new carpet. Her bedroom is in the shape of a square.

The length of each side is 12 feet.

We know that the area of square = (side)^2

So , the area of the bedroom = (12)^2  [which is an exponential expression]

Simplify it

The area of the bedroom = 12\times12=144\ \text{ft}^2

Also, the carpet she needed = Area of the bedroom.

Thus , She needed 144 square feet of carpet.

Gnesinka [82]

We are given the following data:

Sample Size = n = 1000

Sample Mean = u = 15 hours

Population Standard Deviation = s = 2 hours

Since we know the population standard deviation, we can use z distribution to find the confidence interval about the mean. z value for 95% confidence interval is 1.96.

Formula for the confidence interval is:

(u-z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} ,  u+z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}})

Using the values in the formula, we get:

(15-1.96\cdot\frac{2}{\sqrt{1000}},  15+1.96\cdot\frac{2}{\sqrt{1000}})\\ \\  (14.88,15.12)

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval about the population mean is 14.88 hours to 15.12 hours. So B option is the correct answer.
