Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the ratio as

7x : 9x

If you add all the states that border an ocean and do not, you will get 48 states (because Alaska and Hawaii are not part of the continental US, as they do not touch the "main" part of the country)

So, we can write this equation.

7x + 9x = 48

Simplify.

16x = 48

Divide both sides by 16.

x = 4

Now, find how many states border an ocean. In our ratio, the number of states that border an ocean was 7x. Substitute x = 4 into 7x

7 * x = 7 * 4 = 28

The number of states that border an ocean is 28.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions!

3(2x + 5)= 4 (c-3) I know how to solve it but can someone explain it.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

3x×2c+1

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+15 =4c-12

$\frac{6x + 15}{4c - 12} = \frac{4c - 12}{4c - 12}$

$\frac{6x + 15}{4c - 12}$

$\frac{3x + 5}{2c - 4}$

$3x + 5 \div 2c - 4$

$3x \times 2c + 5 - 4$

$3x \times 2c + 1$

A 5 person sports team has an average 40 yard dash time of 5. 7 seconds. When a 6th player is added to the team, the new mean is

DanielleElmas [232]

The new player's personal time is 4.5 seconds.

<h3>What is the new player's personal time?</h3>

The first step is to determine the total time the 5 persons complete the dash.

Total time = 5 x 5.7 = 28.5 seconds

The second step is to determine the total time for the 6 people to complete the dash.

Total time = 6 x 5.5 = 33 seconds

The third step is to find the difference of the time in the previous two steps: 33 - 28.5 = 4.5 seconds

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

H0:p1=p2; Ha:p1≠p2, which is a two-tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate our hypotheses as

H0:p1=p2; Ha:p1≠p2, which is a two-tailed test.

Supposing the probability or proportion of the first survey is equal to the probability or proportion of the second survey. This will be the null hypothesis and the alternative hypotheses would be that these two proportions or probabilities are unequal.

This is a two tailed test.
