Answer:

  • 1220 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cans be x

<u>5% of x is 61, solve the equation below for x:</u>

  • x*0.05 = 61
  • x = 61/0.05
  • x = 1220 cans

In 2009, the American Time Use Survey found that the average American spends 2.8 hours a day watching TV. Suppose the standard d
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

4.72 hours/day

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean time spent watching TV (μ) = 2.8 hours a day  

Standard deviation (σ) = 1.5 hours a day

The 90th percentile (upper 10%) of a normal distribution has an equivalent z-score of roughly z = 1.282. The minimum time spent watching TV, X, at the 90th percentile is:

z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} \\1.282=\frac{X-2.8}{1.5}\\ X=4.72\ hours/day  

On a typical day, you must watch at least 4.72 hours of TV to be in the upper 10%.

Hall and Mindy are playing a guessing game. Hall tells Mindy: ""The difference between 17 and the square root of my mystery numb
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The possible number that Hall could be thinking of is 144.

Step-by-step explanation:

Difference between 17 and the square root of my mystery number

This is represented by:

17 - \sqrt{x}

is 5

Then:

17 - \sqrt{x} = 5

What are two possible numbers that Hall could be thinking of?

We have to solve the equation, for x. So

17 - \sqrt{x} = 5

\sqrt{x} = 12

(\sqrt{x})^2 = (12)^2

x = 144

The possible number that Hall could be thinking of is 144.

Hey ok i need help on this question ive been stuck on it for a couple minutes haha
Len [333]

Answer:

The side s has a length of 4 and side q has a length of 4\sqrt{3} ⇒ F

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 30°-60°-90° triangle, there is a ratio between its sides

side opp (30°) : side opp (60°) : hypotenuse

       1               :         \sqrt{3}            :        2

In the given triangle

∵ The side opposite to 30° is s

∵ The side opposite to 60° is q

∵ The hypotenuse is 8

→ Use the ratio above to find the lengths of s and q

side opp (30°) : side opp (60°) : hypotenuse

       1               :         \sqrt{3}            :        2

       s               :          q             :        8

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ s × 2 = 1 × 8

∴ 2s = 8

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ s = 4

∴ The length of s is 4

∵ q × 2 = \sqrt{3} × 8

∴ 2q = 8\sqrt{3}

→ Divide both sides by 2

∴ q = 4\sqrt{3}

∴ The length of q is 4\sqrt{3}
