The answer you are looking for is 8 7/12.

To find this answer, you must first make the denominators the same. To do so, you multiply 1/3 by 4/4 and multiply 3/4 by 3/3. This will give you 4/12 and 9/12.

The next step would be subtracting 1 (12/12) from 14 to make it 13. This is to make the numerator of 4/12 change to 16/12.

Now, you subtract. 16/12 - 9/12 = 7/12 and 13 - 5 = 8. The mixed fraction answer is 8 7/12. If you need the improper fraction answer, simply multiply 8 and 12 to get 96 and then add 96 and 7 to get 103. The denominator would still be 12, making the improper fraction form of the answer 103/12.

I hope this helps!

A tennis ball weights about 56.7 grams. About how many ounces would a dozen tennis balls weight?

liberstina [14]

Nothing "weighs" 56.7 grams. "Gram" is a unit of mass, not force or weight.

On Earth, 28.35 grams of mass weigh about 1 ounce .

1 dozen of anything = 12 of them

If each tennis ball has 56.7 grams of mass, then a dozen of them
have

(12) x (56.7) = 680.4 grams of mass .

Their weight is (680.4 grams) x (1 ounce / 28.35 grams) =

(680.4 / 28.35) = 24 ounces.

That's 1.5 pounds.

An airline is planning its staffing needs for the next year. If a new route is approved, it will hire 858 new employees. If a n

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)$

And from the problem we know the following:

$P(X_1) = 0.34 , X_1 =858$ represent the condition if the route is approved

$P(X_2) = 1-0.34=0.66 , X_1 =157$ represent the condition if the route is NOT approved

Then replacing in the formula for the expected value we got:

$E(X) = 858*0.34 + 157*0.66 = 395.34$

So then the expected number of new employees to be hired by the airline based on the conditions given is between 395 and 396.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this cae we can define the random variable X who represent the number of new employees to be hired by the airline and we can find the expected value with the following general formula:

$E(X) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i P(X_i)$

And from the problem we know the following:

$P(X_1) = 0.34 , X_1 =858$ represent the condition if the route is approved

$P(X_2) = 1-0.34=0.66 , X_1 =157$ represent the condition if the route is NOT approved

Then replacing in the formula for the expected value we got:

$E(X) = 858*0.34 + 157*0.66 = 395.34$

So then the expected number of new employees to be hired by the airline based on the conditions given is between 395 and 396.
