A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 599 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Tuesday. There were 51 fewer cheeseburgers s

Arturiano [62]

Cheeseburgers = 274
Hamburgers = 325

Divide 599 by 2 = 299.50 total burgers split in half
Divide 51 by 2= 25.50
Subtract 299.50- 25.50= 274cheeseburgers
Add 299.50+ 25.50= 325hamburgers

Check my Work: Factoring for 2y^+9y-18 is (2y-3) (y+6) true or false?

Alexxandr [17]

It is true because when you separate 2y^2 +9y -18, you are supposed to get the factors (2y-3)(y+6), when you multiply this it gives you the first equation, we know this because when we multiply the first term it gives us exactly 2y^2 and if we multiply the last ones it gives you -18, now here is the tricky part, when we multiply the middle part we get 12y and -3y, when we add these up we get 9y, now is that the same middle as in the equation? Yes… then our factors are correct making this true

Hope this helps

From experience, an airline knows that only 80% of the passengers booked for a certain flight actually show up. If 9 passengers

Olenka [21]

Answer: 0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that the passengers booked for a certain flight actually show up : p=0.80

The number of passengers are randomly selected : n= 9

Binomial probability formula to find the probability of getting success in x trial :-

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Then , the probability that more than 6 of them show up will be :-

$P(x>6)=P(7)+P(8)+P(9)\\\\=^9C_7(0.8)^7(0.2)^{2}+^9C_8(0.8)^8(0.2)^{1}+^9C_9(0.8)^9(0.2)^{0}\\\\=\dfrac{9!}{7!(9-7)!}(0.8)^7(0.2)^{2}+(9)(0.8)^8(0.2)+(1)(0.8)^9\approx0.3020+0.3020+0.1342=0.7382\approx0.74$

Hence, the probability that more than 6 of them show up = 0.74

Kristen is 64 inches tall, and she stands 12 feet away from a streetlight. If she casts an 82-inch-long shadow, how tall is the

o-na [289]

Answer:

176.39 inches or

14.70 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the right triangle made by Kristen, ground and shadow.

This triangle has one leg as 64 inches.

Next consider the right triangle formed by street light, ground upto shadow tip.

The two triangles have common angle of elevation and also another angle as 90 degrees.

Hence the two triangles would be similar

Also if A is the angle made by hypotenuse of both triangles with the ground we have

$tanx=\frac{64}{82}$

This value also equals by bigger triangle as

$tanx=\frac{h}{82+12(12)}=\frac{h}{226}$

From these two we get

h = height of street light = $\frac{226(64)}{82} =176.39$

Triangle hjk is an isosceles triangle. The measures of angles j and k are equal. The measure of angle h is 100 degrees. How do y

WITCHER [35]

Every triangle has a total of 180 degrees. If one angle measure is 100, then 180-100 is 80. This means that the other two angle measures have a total of 80. As angle j and k are equal, we divide 80 by 2, to get 40. This means that the measure of both angle j and k is 40 degrees. The measure of angle j is 40 degrees.
