Saying that there are 6 students that play flute for every four that play saxophone.
4+6= 10 and we need 50 so we have to multiply each by 5. 6 times 5 is 30. therefore there are 30 flute students. but we are looking for saxophone! 4 times 5 is 20 so there would be 20 saxophone players.

There are 20 saxophone players. For every 6 flutes there are 4 saxophones so if you do 6x5=30. Then you would do 4x5 and get 20. 30 flutes plus 20 saxophones = 50 total students

one light flashes every 2 minutes and another flashes every 7 minutes. If both lights flash together at 1pm, what is the first t
vovangra [49]
Light A flashes every 2 minutes while light B flashes every 7. The goal is to figure out when both lights flash at the same time and then figure out the other part later. You have to find the common multiples of 7 and 2. Meaning that you have to find out which number can they both be multiplied into. In this case, it is 14 because 7 can be multiplied by 2 to get 14 and 2 can be multiplied by 7. So if every 14 minutes they flash together at the same time, now you need to find out what time AFTER 3 will they both flash. You know that they both flashed at 1:00 so they will flash again at 1:14 and 1:28 and so on, but you need to find out when is the soonest they will flash after 3. 2 hours after the 1:00 flash will be 3:00 so that is 120 minutes. 120 minutes divided by 14 minutes comes to 8.5 but you dont need the decimal. Just simply multiply 14 by 8 and that comes to 112 minutes and if you add that to 1:00 you get 2:52. so they flashed at 2:52 so the next time they flash will be 14 minutes after 2:52. Sorry for the super long answer

Suppose the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes. De
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable <em>X</em> represent the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop.

The random variable <em>X</em> is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes.

Then the parameter of the distribution is,\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{7}.

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f_{X}(x)=\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0,\ \lambda>0

Compute the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning as follows:

P(6\leq X\leq 9)=\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x}} \, dx

                      =\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\frac{1}{7}\cdot e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{7}\cdot \int\limits^{9}_{6} {e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=[-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}]^{9}_{6}\\\\=e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 6}-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 9}\\\\=0.424373-0.276453\\\\=0.14792\\\\\approx 0.148

Thus, the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.

BRAINLIEST!!!
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

\sqrt{37}

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance d between a point (m , n ) and a line in the form

Ax + By + C = 0 , is calculated as

d = \frac{|Am+Bn+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2} }

Here (m, n ) = (6, 2 ) and

6x - y = - 3 ( add 3 to both sides )

6x - y + 3 = 0 → A = 6, B = - 1, C = 3

d = \frac{|6(6)+-1(2)+3|}{\sqrt{6^2+(-1)^2} }

   = \frac{|36-2+3|}{\sqrt{36+1} }

   = \frac{|37|}{\sqrt{37} }

   = \frac{37}{\sqrt{37} } × \frac{\sqrt{37} }{\sqrt{37} }

   = \frac{37\sqrt{37} }{37} ← cancel 37 on numerator/ denominator

   = \sqrt{37}

A rectangular room is 3 meters longer than it is wide, and its perimeter is 22 meters. Find the dimension of the room. The lengt
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Width = 4 m

Length = 7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

perimeter of a rectangle = 22m

L = 3 + W

perimeter = 2L + 2W

perimeter = 2 (3 + W) + 2W

22 = 6 + 2W + 2W

22 - 6 = 4W

W = 16 / 4

W = 4 m

L = 3 + W

L = 3 + 4

L = 7 m

check:

perimeter = 2L + 2W

22 = 2(7) + 2(4)

22 = 14 + 8

22 = 22  ---- OK
