Answer: She read 242 pages last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total pages = 360

Let the number of pages she read last week = x

( Pages read last week) + (Pages read today) = \dfrac45 (Total pages)

i.e. x+46=\dfrac45(360)

\Rightarrow x+46=288\\\\ \Rightarrow x= 288-46\\\\ \Rightarrow x=242

Hence, she read 242 pages last week.

Five cats each ate 1/4 cup of canned food . How much food did they eat altogether?
Sauron [17]

We have FIVE cats that each ate 1/4 cup of canned food.

Then, the five of them together ate:

5 times 1/4 cup This in mathematical expression is a profduct of an integer value (5) times the fraction (1/4) which we know how to multiply based on the problems we solved a few minutes ago:

5 * 1/4 = 5/1 * 1/4 = (5 * 1) / (1 * 4) = 5/4 cups

This answer can also be written as a MIXED number given that 5/4 is an IMPROPER fraction (a fraction with numerator larger than the denominator)

5/4 = 1 1/4

Not sure what answer your teacher would prefer. It depends on whether he/she wants you to use fractions or mixed numbers.

Last Wednesday, a random sample of 24 students were surveyed to find how long it takes to walk from the Fretwell Building to the
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We are to investigate the confidence interval of 95% for the population mean of walking times from Fretwell Building to the college of education building.

- The survey team took a sample of size n = 24 students and obtained the following results:

                Sample mean ( x^ ) = 12.3 mins

                Sample standard deviation ( s ) = 3.2 mins

- The sample taken was random and independent. We can assume normality of the sample.

- First we compute the critical value for the statistics.

- The z-distribution is a function of two inputs as follows:

  • Significance Level  ( α / 2 ) = ( 1 - CI ) / 2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Compute: z-critical = z_0.025 = +/- 1.96

- The confidence interval for the population mean ( u ) of  walking times is given below:

                      [ x^ - z-critical*s / √n  ,   x^ + z-critical*s / √n  ]

Answer:        [ 12.3 - 1.96*3.2 / √24  ,  12.3 + 1.96*3.2 / √24  ]

Is 81 a multiple of 3? Explain, Is 46 a multiple of 4, Explain, Is 55 a multiple of 7? Explain Is 72 a multiple of 9 explain, Is
ra1l [238]
3x27=81 so 81 is a multiple of 3

there is no integer x for which 4x=46 so 46 is not a multiple of 4

there is no integer x for which 7x=55 so 55 is not a multiple of 7

72 = 8*9 so 72 is a multiple of 9

there is no integer x for which 6x=45 hence 45 is not a multiple of 6
