The word decreased shows that you need to use subtraction for this problem.

Take 71.5*F - 56.8*F = 14.7*F that the temperature dropped

You use subtraction:
71.5*F- 56.8*F= 14.7*F
Hope this helps~

ivolga24 [154]

6:20=9:30=3:10=18:60=16:160/3=12:40

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires you to find value of x in the ratios given;

Start with the first pair

6:20 = 9:x

6/20 =9/x

6x=20*9

6x=180

x=180/6=30 ⇒⇒ 6:20 = 9:30

The second pair after replacing the value of x=30 will be

9:30 = x:10

9/30=x/10

90=30x

90/30 =x

3=x⇒⇒ 9:30 = 3:10

The third pair after replacing value of x=3 will be

3:10 =x:60

3/10 =x/60

180=10x

180/10 =x

18=x ⇒⇒ 3:10 = 18:60

The fourth pair after replacing value of x=18 will be;

18:60 = 16:x

18/60 = 16/x

18x=16*60

x= (16*60)/18 =160/3

x= 160/3 ⇒⇒⇒ 18:60 = 16: 160/3

The firth pair after replacing value of x=160/3 will be;

16: 160/3 =12:x

16x= 160/3 *12

16x = 160 * 4

x= (160 *4 )/16

x=40

⇒⇒ 16: 160/3 = 12: 40

Write an equivalent expression using distributive property and simplify for each question

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Check explanations

Step-by-step explanation:

For all real numbers a,b, and c, the distributive property states that:

$a(b + c) = ab + ac$

For Part A, we have

$2x + 10x = x(2 + 10) = x(12) = 12x$

$2x + 10x = 2x(1 + 5) = 2x(6) = 12x$

For Part B, we have

-4(3x-10)+5(2-6x)=-4*3x--4*10+5*2-5*6x

This simplifies to:

-4(3x-10)+5(2-6x)=-12x+40+10-30x

-4(3x-10)+5(2-6x)=-12x-30x+40+10

-4(3x-10)+5(2-6x)=-42x+50

For the C part, we have:

$2(x - 4) + x = 2 \times x - 2 \times 4 + x$

$2(x - 4) + x = 2x - 8+ x$

$2(x - 4) + x = 3x - 8$

For Part D, we have:

$-3-7(3-4x)+8x = - 3 - 7 \times 3 - 7 \times - 4x + 8x$

We simplify to get:

$-3-7(3-4x)+8x = - 24+28x + 8x$

Simplify further to get:

$-3-7(3-4x)+8x =-24+36x$

A population has a known standard deviation of 1.27 and a sample space contains 85 values find the margin of error needed to cre

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The margin of error needed to create a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean of the population is of 0.3547

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.005 = 0.995$ , so $z = 2.575$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

$\sigma = 1.27, n = 85$

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$M = 2.575*\frac{1.27}{\sqrt{85}}$

$M = 0.3547$

The margin of error needed to create a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean of the population is of 0.3547

Answer:

3.2×10⁷ liters/week

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{1.2\cdot 10^6\,gal}{1\,day}\cdot\dfrac{7\,day}{1\,week}\cdot\dfrac{8\,pint}{1\,gal}\cdot\dfrac{1\,L}{2.11\,pint}=\dfrac{1.2\cdot 10^6\cdot 7\cdot 8\,L}{2.11\,week}\\\\\approx 3.2\cdot 10^7\,\dfrac{L}{week}$
