Tim dug a hole that was 16 1/2 inches deep.He left a pile of dirt next to the hole that was 8 3/4 inches high.Show how you could

Viktor [21]

Answer:

14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the hole = 16(½) inches

Length of the dirt = 8(¾)inches

The distance between the top of the pile to the bottom of the hole = ?

Since the dirt is beside the hole and not inside the hole, we can find it's length using addition.

Distance from the top to the bottom = length of dirt + length of the hole

Length of dirt = 8×¾ = 6 inches

Length of the hole = 16 × ½ = 8 inches

Distance from the top of the dirt to the bottom of the hole = (6 + 8) inches

Distance from the top of the dirt to the bottom of the hole = 14 inches

Note: the only way we can use subtraction here is if the hole was filled with dirt, what's the distance that's left

Distance left = length of hole - length of dirt

Distance left = 8 - 6 = 2 inches .

But what the question requested was the distance from the top of the dirt to the bottom of the hole

For an outdoor concert by the city orchestra, concert organizers estimate that 10,000 people will attend if it's not raining. If

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The number of expected people at the concert is 8,500 people

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to determine the expected number of people that will attend a concert if we are given the probabilities that it will rain and it will not rain.

We proceed as follows;

The probability that it will rain is 30% or 0:3

The probability that it will not rain would be 1 -0.3 = 0.7

Now, we proceed to calculate the number of people that will attend by multiplying the probabilities by the expected number of people when it rains and when it does not rain.

Mathematically this is;

Number of expected guests = (probability of not raining * number of expected guests when it does not rain) + (probability of raining * number of expected guests when it rains)

Let’s plug values;

Number of expected guests = (0.3 * 5,000) + (0.7 * 10,000) = 1,500 + 7,000 = 8,500 people
