Answer:

0.85 ( lowest value proportion to vaccinate )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the herd immunity relationship

Vc = E - ( E / Ro )

Vc = critical vaccination level

E = vaccine effective against the transmission = 1

Ro = Basic reproduction number

lets assume the effectiveness of the transmission = 100% = 1

lets assume the

Vc = 1 - ( 1 / 3 ) = 67%

but the lowest value proportion to vaccinate = 85%

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

$3\frac{13}{20}=3.65$ kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S be amount of strawberries picked in the afternoon.

We have been given that Sheldon harvest the strawberries and tomatoes in his garden. He picks 1 2/5 kg less strawberries in the morning than in the afternoon and the strawberries picked in morning are $2\frac{1}{4}$ kg.

To find the amount of strawberries picked by Sheldon in the afternoon we will add $2\frac{1}{4}$ and $1\frac{2}{5}$ :

$S= 2\frac{1}{4}+1\frac{2}{5}$

Upon converting our given mixed fractions into improper fraction we will get,

$S= \frac{9}{4}+\frac{7}{5}$

Now let us have a common denominator.

$S=\frac{9*5}{4*5}+\frac{7*4}{5*4}$

$S=\frac{45}{20}+\frac{28}{20}$

$S=\frac{45+28}{20}$

$S=\frac{73}{20}$

$S=3\frac{13}{20}$

$S=3.65$

Therefore, Sheldon picked $3\frac{13}{20}=3.65$ kg of strawberries in the afternoon.

What is the equation in slope intercept form?

patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of -1/3. For lines to be perpendicular there product must equal negative 1

m1(m2)=-1

-m/3=-1

m=3

So we know our line has a slope of three so

y=3x+b, we can solve for the y intercept, b, using point (-2,8)

8=3(-2)+b

8=-6+b

b=14, so our line is

y=3x+14

What time is 100 minutes before 4:00 p.m.

Gnesinka [82]

2:20

60 minutes subtracted from 4 p.m. is 3 p.m. Since it was 100 minutes, there are 40 minutes to take away from 3 p.m.
