Answer:

It will take Sarah 2 1/2 hours to mow 10 lawns

It will take Sarah 1 2/3 hours to clean 10 pools

Step-by-step explanation:

During the summer holidays, Sarah earns pocket money by mowing the lawn. She can mow 6 lawns in 1 1/2 hour and clean a pool in one-sixth of an hour. How long does Sarah take to clean 10 pools and 10 lawns?

Number of lawns : Time to mow lawns = 6 : 1 1/2

= 6 : 3/2

Number of lawns : Time to mow lawns = 10 : x

6 : 3/2 = 10 : x

6 ÷ 3/2 = 10/x

6 * 2/3 = 10/x

12/3 = 10/x

Cross product

12 * x = 3 * 10

12x = 30

x = 30/12

x = 2 6/12

x = 2 1/2 hours

It will take Sarah 2 1/2 hours to mow 10 lawns

Number of pools cleaned : time taken = 1 : 1/6

Number of pools cleaned : time taken = 10 : x

1 : 1/6 = 10 : x

1 ÷ 1/6 = 10/x

1 * 6/1 = 10/x

6 = 10/x

Cross product

6 * x = 10

6x = 10

x = 10/6

x = 1 4/6

x = 1 2/3 hours

It will take Sarah 1 2/3 hours to clean 10 pools

Alyssa wants to buy a new car and is planning to take out a loan to pay for the car.
g100num [7]

Answer: the amount of interest that Alyssa will pay on her loan is $1320

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

I represents interest paid on the loan.

P represents the principal or amount taken as loan

R represents interest rate

T represents the duration of the loan in years.

From the information given,

P = $22000

R = 4.5%

T = 4 years

Therefore,

I = (22000 × 1.5 × 4)/ 100

I = 132000/100 = $1320

Suppose a batch of metal shafts produced in a manufacturing company have a standard deviation of 1.5 and a mean diameter of 205
lawyer [7]

Answer:

the probability is 0.0750

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability is shown below;

The mean of x is

= 1.5 ÷ √79

= 0.1688

Now the probability is

= P(Z < -0.3 ÷ 0.1688) + P(\bar{x} > 0.3 ÷ 0.1688)

= P(Z < -1.78) + P(Z > 1.78)

= P(Z < -1.78) + 1 - P(Z < 1.78

= 0.0375 + 1 - 0.9625

= 0.0750

hence, the probability is 0.0750
