Answer: 4 adults are needed to accompany 32 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: School requires 1 adult to accompany every 8 students on a field trip.

The number of adults are needed to accompany 32 students = $\dfrac{32}{\text{Number of students accompanied by an adult}}$

$=\dfrac{32}{8}\\\\=4$

Hence, 4 adults are needed to accompany 32 students.

Convert 15 km per hour to meters per second

ipn [44]

1km = 1000m
1hr = 3600sec

Do proportions:
1km / 1000m = 15km / x
15000m = x

1hr = 3600sec

15000/3600 = 4.2m per second

Consumer products are required by law to contain at least as much as the amount printed on the package. For example, a bag of po

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The average bag weight must be used to achieve at least 99 percent of the bags having 10 or more ounces in the bag=9.802

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Standard deviation, $\sigma=0.2$ ounces

We have to find the average bag weight must be used to achieve at least 99 percent of the bags having 10 or more ounces in the bag.

$P(x\geq 10)=0.99$

Assume the bag weight distribution is bell-shaped

Therefore,

$P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\geq 10)=0.99$

We know that

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Using the value of z

Now,

$\frac{10-\mu}{0.2}=0.99$

$10-\mu=0.99\times 0.2$

$\mu=10-0.99\times 0.2$

$\mu=9.802$

Hence, the average bag weight must be used to achieve at least 99 percent of the bags having 10 or more ounces in the bag=9.802
