Answer:

Here's how to subtract 3/8 from 8/12:

8

12

−

3

8

Step 1

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 8 by 8, and get 64.

Then we multiply 3 by 12, and get 36.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 12 × 8 = 96.

So now our fractions look like this:

64

96

−

36

96

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

64 − 36 = 28

So the answer is:

28

96

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

28

96

÷ 2 =

14

48

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Are both the numerator and the denominator evenly divisible by 2? Yes! So we reduce it:

14

48

÷ 2 =

7

24

Let's try dividing by 2 again...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 3...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 5...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 7...

Nope! So now we try the next greatest prime number, 11...

No good. 11 is larger than 7. So we're done reducing.

There you have it! The final answer is: 0.29166666666

a study studied the birth weights of 1,999 babies born in the United States. The mean weight was 3234 grams with a standard devi
Aleks [24]

Answer:

1899

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 3234

Standard deviation = 871

Percentage of newborns who weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams:

1492 = 3234 - 2*871

So 1492 is two standard deviations below the mean.

4976 = 3234 + 2*871

So 4976 is two standard deviations above the mean.

By the Empirical Rule, 95% of newborns weighed between 1492 grams and 4976 grams.

Out of 1999:

0.95*1999 = 1899

So the answer is 1899

No because they 90 to 200 is 110 but 200 to 325 is 125

110 obviously does not equal 125
