Answer:

5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to set up a ratio. You have the number of shirts (15) to skirts AND pants (so 12+9=21). This gives you both sides of your ratio 15:21. You can simplify by dividing both sides by 3 (greatest common factor) and get 5:7

Ashley can ride her bicycle 15 miles in 2 hours. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour, and there are 1,760 yards in 1 mile. How many y

stepladder [879]

Speed is given by:
speed=distance/time
given that:
1 mile=1,760 yards
1 hour=60 min
then the speed in yards/sec will be:
distance Ashley covered is 15 miles
time=2 hours
thus;
speed=(15x1760)/(2x60)
=220 yards/ min

Solve the equation for x by graphing -2x + 3 = -3(-x) - 2

adoni [48]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to solve this. One is to graph the left side of the equation, graph the right side of the equation, and look for the point where those graphs intersect. It is at x = 1. The first attached graph shows this solution.

Another method for solving such an equation is to subtract one side from the other and look for the value of x that makes the resulting expression zero.

(-2x +3) -(-3(-x) -2) = 0

A graphing calculator doesn't need to have this simplified. If it is simplified, it becomes ...

-5x +5 = 0

So, the graphed line is y = -5x+5. Its x-intercept is x=1, the solution of the original equation. The graph of this is shown in the second attachment.

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the true population proportion of people with kids is (0.293, 0.547).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
