It takes 5.22 hours to install carpeting in a room

Step-by-step explanation:

At first lets find the relation between yard, feet and inch

1. 1 yard = 3 feet

2. 1 foot = 12 inches

3. 1 yard = 36 inches

Let us change all measures to inches

∵ 1 yard = 36 inches

∴ 1 yard² = (36)² inches²

- Fine Floors can install 15 square yards of carpeting in 4 hours and

30 minutes

∵ 15 yard² = 15 × (36)² inches²

∴ 15 yards² = 19440 inches²

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes

∴ 30 minutes = 30/60 = 0.5 hour

∴ 4 hours and 30 minutes = 4.5 hours

∴ Fine Floors can install 19440 inches² in 4.5 hours

∵ The dimensions of the room are 11 feet 9 inches by 13 feet 4 inches

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 11 feet 9 inches = 11 × 12 + 9 = 141 inches

∴ 13 feet 4 inches = 13 × 12 + 4 = 160 inches

∴ The area of the room = 141 × 160 = 22560 inches²

Now lets use the ratio method to answer the question

⇒ area of carpeting (in²) : time of carpeting (hr)

⇒ 19440 : 4.5

⇒ 22560 : h

By using cross multiplication

∴ 19440 h = 4.5 × 22560

∴ 19440 h = 101520

- Divide both sides by 19440

∴ h = 5.22 hrs

It takes 5.22 hours to install carpeting in a room

If a couple were planning to have three children, the sample space summarizing the gender outcomes would be: bbb, bbg, bgb,

MaRussiya [10]

There are two choices for each child: overweight (o) or underweight (u). So if the first child is o the next can be o or u. If the first is u the second can be o or u. This gives four possibilities. Here the first child is the letter noted first and the second is the one listed second:
OO
OU
UO
UU

There are 4 outcomes and if each is equally likely then the probability of each is 1/4. Thus the probability of UU is 1/4

The probability of one underweight and one over weight is 1/2 because in two of the outcomes listed above there is one O and one U (namely OU and UO). Since there are 4 outcomes the probability is 2/4 = 1/2

Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between a line and a point in a plane? exactly one plane conta

Alexandra [31]

Answer: (b) exactly one plane contains a given line and a point not on the line.

Step-by-step explanation: The basic postulates of geometry are very-well known to all of us. For example-

(i) The intersection of two lines determines a point,

(ii) Two parallel lines give result to a plane,

(iii) A line and a point not on the line determines a plane, etc...

Thus, with the help of the third point, we can easily arrive at the conclusion that a given line and a point not lying on the line is contained in a plane. For example- see the attached figure, AB is a line and P is any point not on the line. They both contained in the plane ABC.

Hence, the correct option is (b).
