Answer:

33.94 cms of ribbon

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you need two diagonals to form the x, therefore the amount  of ribbon needed is the sum of the distance of both diagonals.

When crossing the diagonal, a rectangular angle is formed, where the diagonal would be the hypotenuse, we know that the distance of the hypotenuse can be calculated by means of the legs, which we know its value (12):

d ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2

a = b = 12

d ^ 2 = 12 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2

d ^ 2 = 288

d = 288 ^ (1/2)

d = 16.97

16.97 cm is what it measures, a diagonal, therefore tape is needed:

16.97 * 2 = 33.94

A total of 33.94 cms of ribbon is needed

Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars  
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
 And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55 
 We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55 
 We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
 2y-20y=13.50-70.2
 -18y=-56.7
 y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
 
 Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
 x+5*3.15=17.55
 x+15.75=17.55
 x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
  
 Problem 4.
 Let w = number of wood bats sold
 Let m = number of metal bats sold
 
 From sales information we have: w + m = 23
 24w+30m=606 
 Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second. 
 24*(23-m)+30m=606
 552-24m+30m=606
 6m=54
 m=9 = number of metal bats sold
 Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.

In a survey, 60% of interviewees say they like beach sports, while 55% like mountain sports. If 20% like both, what fraction of
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the percentage of people that like beach or mountain sports.

This percentage can be calculated with the formula:

P(M or B) = P(M) + P(B) - P(M and B)

where:

P(M or M) is the percentage of people that like beach or mountain sports,

P(B) is the percentage of people that like beach sports,

P(M) is the percentage of people that like mountain sports,

P(B) is the percentage of people that like beach and mountain sports.

Then:

P(M or B) = 0.55 + 0.60 - 0.20 = 0.95

95% of the people like mountain or beach sport. Now, to find the percentage of people that like neither, we just need to make 1 minus the percentage of people that like beach or mountain sports:

P(Neither) = 1 - P(M or B) = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

0.05 or 5% of the people interviewed like neither of these sports.
