Answer:

260 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

An estimate of 26.5% of the water used each day is for cleaning and a family uses 68.9 gallons of water a day for cleaning,

Percentage of water used for cleaning= 26.5%

Gallons of water used for cleaning= 68.9

Let the number of gallons used everyday be represented by g. This will give:

26.5% of g = 68.9

26.5/100 × g = 68.9

0.265 × g = 68.9

0.265g = 68.9

Divide both side by 0.265

0.265g/0.265 = 68.9/0.265

g= 260

260 gallons of water are used everyday

Answer: B

You can find slope by using the slope formula. Because we are already given two coordinate points, we can use that to find our slope. The slope formula is $\frac{y^{2}-y^{1} }{x^{2}-x^{1} }$ . This also refers to $\frac{5-(-5)}{0-4}$ or 10/-4 or -5/2. Any coordinate with the x-value as 0 means that that coordinate is the y-intercept. Because (0,5) has 0 as its x-value, the y-intercept is 5.

Find the volume of the prism

leva [86]

Using the formula given for area:

Area = 1/2 (7 +5)4 = 1/2(12)4 = 24 square cm.

Now to find the volume multiply the area by the depth:

24 x 6 = 144 cubic cm.

VikaD [51]

Given :

Susan wanted to share her 37 seashells with her two younger brothers.

To Find :

If she divided her seashells between the three of them, how many would each person get.

Solution :

Let, each person will get x seashells.

So,

$x = \dfrac{\text{Total number of seashells}}{\text{Number of persons}}\\\\x = \dfrac{37}{3}\\\\x = 12.333$

But as we know seashells cannot be in decimal.

Therefore, each person will get exactly 12 shells.

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given equation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attachment file.

In point a:

$\to \mu=\frac{\sum xi}{n}$

$=22.8$

$\to \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (xi-\mu)^2}{n-1}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{119.18}{16-1}}\\\\ =\sqrt{\frac{119.18}{15}}\\\\ = \sqrt{7.94533333}\\\\=2.8187$

In point b:

$\to \mu=\frac{\sum xi}{n}$

$=20.6875$

$\to \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (xi-\mu)^2}{n-1}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{26.3375}{16-1}}\\\\=\sqrt{\frac{26.3375}{15}}\\\\ =\sqrt{1.75583333}\\\\ =1.3251$

In point c:

$\to \mu=\frac{\sum xi}{n}$

$=21$

$\to \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (xi-\mu)^2}{n-1}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{2.62}{16-1}}\\\\ =\sqrt{\frac{2.62}{15}} \\\\= \sqrt{0.174666667}\\\\=0.4179$

In point d:

$\to \mu=\frac{\sum xi}{n}$

$=20.8375$

$\to \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (xi-\mu)^2}{n-1}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{8.2975}{16-1}}\\\\ =\sqrt{\frac{8.2975}{15}} \\\\ =\sqrt{0.553166667} \\\\ =0.7438$

What is 4 to the -2 power divided by 4 to the 4th power

igomit [66]

Answer:

4 to the -2 power divided by 4 to the 4th power

$\frac{ {4}^{ - 2} }{ {4}^{4} } = \frac{1}{( {4}^{2} \times {4}^{4} ) } = \frac{1}{ {4}^{(2 + 4)} } = \frac{1}{ {4}^{6} } = \frac{1}{4096}\\$

<h3>(1/4096) is the right answer.</h3>
