Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use your number sense to realize that 8/9 is between 3/4 and 1, so Tyrone can only get 3 whole pieces from his string.

__

If you like, you can do the division ...

  (8/9)/(1/4) = (8/9)(4/1) = 32/9 = 3 5/9 . . . . . 3 whole pieces

Or, you can compare decimal values.

  1 piece = 0.25 ft

  2 pieces = 0.50 ft

  3 pieces = 0.75 ft

  4 pieces = 1.00 ft

String length = 0.888.... ft (more than 3; less than 4 pieces)

The ratio of cattle to horses on the ranch was 12 to 3. The combined number of cattle and horses was 960. How many horses are on
mars1129 [50]

Answer: There are 192 horses in the ranch

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined number of cattle and horses = 960.

Ratio of  cattle to horses =12 :3

Total ratio =12+3=15

Number of horses on the ranch = ratio of horse / Total ratio x total number of horses and cattle

3/15 x 960 =  192

Therefore there are 192 horses in the ranch

A group of n people enter an elevator in a building with k floors. Each person independently selects a floor uniformly at random
____ [38]

Answer:

Hence the person stop at floor by at least one person will be

E(X)=(summation from K=1 to k)[1-{(k-1)/k}^n]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

There are n peoples and k floors in a building.

Selects floor with 1/k probability .

To find :

Elevator stop at each floor by at least one person.

Solution:

Now

let K= number of floor at which at least one person will be stopping.

For getting E(X)

consider a variable Ak =1 if a least one person get of the elevator

and values for k=1,2,3.....k

K=(summation From k=1 to k)Ak

E(K)=((summation From k=1 to k) E[Ak]

=(summation From k=1 to k)[1-{(k-1/k)^n

Hence the person stop at floor by at least one person will be

E(K)=(summation from K=1 to k)[1-{(k-1)/k}^n]

Factor completely x2 + 20x − 36.
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Prime

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 20x − 36

You must find a pair of numbers that multiply to give -36 and add to give +20.

The likely candidates are 2 and 18, and they must have opposite signs to give a negative product.

+2 × (-18) = -36; +2 + (-18) =   -16

-2 ×   18  = -36;  -2 +     8   = +16

Neither combination gives +20 as the sum.

The expression can't be factored with rational numbers.

The expression is prime.

Adult tickets to a basketball game cost $5. Student tickets cost $1. A total of $2,465 was collected on the sale of 1,077 ticket
frez [133]
Assign x to adult tickets and y to student tickets, then set up the system
5x+y=2465 and
x+y=1077
You can subtract the second equation from the first to get
4x=1388
=> x=347
Then to find y do 1077-347 to find
y=730

Final answer:
347 adult tickets and 730 student tickets were sold.
Hope I helped :)
