Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

W=L-2

A=L*W

48=L(L-2)

48=L^2-2L

You factor and then you get L=8

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Pete runs farther per carry.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Branden and Pete both play running back.

Branden carries the ball 75 times for 550 yards.

Pete had 42 carries for 380 yards

Question asked:

Who runs farther per carry ?

Solution:

First of all we find each boy's distance covered per carry:-

<u>For Branden</u>

Branden carries the ball 75 times for = 550 yards.

Branden carries the ball 1 time for = \frac{550}{75} =7.34\ yard

<u>For Pete </u>

Pete carries 42 times for = 380 yards

Pete carries 1 time for = \frac{380}{42} =9.05\ yards

As Pete runs 9.05 yards for 1 carry while Branden runs 7.34 yards for 1 carry, hence Pete runs farther per carry.

Suppose there is a 13.9 % probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a jogger. In​ addition, there is
Blababa [14]

Answer:

There is a 2.17% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

It would be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is male and jogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities.

A 13.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is a jogger, so P(A) = 0.13.

In​ addition, there is a 15.6% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male comma given that he or she jogs. I am going to say that P(B) is the probability that is a male. P(B/A) is the probability that the person is a male, given that he/she jogs. So P(B/A) = 0.156

The Bayes theorem states that:

P(B/A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which P(A \cap B) is the probability that the person does both thigs, so, in this problem, the probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

So

P(A \cap B) = P(A).P(B/A) = 0.156*0.139 = 0.217

There is a 2.17% probability that a randomly selected person aged 40 years or older is male and jogs.

A probability is unusual when it is smaller than 5%.

So it would be unusual to randomly select a person aged 40 years or older who is male and jogs.

If you want to buy an item in a store that cost $43 and is on sale for 40% off, then how much would the item actually cost you a
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

$25.80

Step-by-step explanation:

40% = 40/ 100 = 4/10 = 0,4

There is a 40% discount, which means that the amount multiplied by more then 1 (for example 1,4) would increase the amount... That isn't right because it is a discount!

So you need to subtract the 40%, so (1 - 0.4 =) 0.6

The amount multiplied by 0.6 will be the correct amount, being $43 * 0.6 = $25.80 (rounded to the nearest cent).

The amount the item actually cost after the discount is $25.80

Express 11.11 as a mixed number.
Nookie1986 [14]
11.11

The '11' before the decimal point is our whole number.

We can write 11 hundredths as 11 over 100.

11/100

So we have:
