Answer:

  2.  15 cents/min

  3.  7/4 gallon/week = 1.75 gal/wk

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to convert the units without changing the rate. You do this by making use of conversion factors. Each conversion factor has a value of 1, but changes the units. (It has a value of 1 because the quantity in the numerator is equal to the quantity in the denominator.)

In general, you know that when the numerator and denominator of a fraction are the same thing, they cancel, leaving a value of 1. When a variable (or unit) is involved, the cancelled variables (or units) simply disappear.

For example, multiplying (9 dollars)×(100 cents)/(1 dollar) gives ...

  (9\text{ dollar})\times\dfrac{100\text{ cents}}{1\text{ dollar}}=\dfrac{9\times100\times\text{cents}\times\text{dollar}}{1\times\text{ dollar}}=\dfrac{900\text{ cents}}{1}=900\text{ cents}

The units of "dollar" cancel, leaving cents. Note that we did this by choosing a conversion factor with units we want in the place we want, and units we don't want on the other side of the fraction bar.

__

2) We want cents in the numerator, so our conversion factor will be (100 cents)/(1 dollar). And we want minutes in the denominator, so our other conversion factor will be (1 hour)/(60 minutes). Multiplying by these conversion factors, our rate becomes ...

  \dfrac{\$9}{1\text{ hr}}\times\dfrac{100\text{ cents}}{\$1}\times\dfrac{1\text{ hr}}{60\text{ min}}=\dfrac{9\times100\times1\text{ cents}}{1\times1\times60\text{ min}}\\\\=\dfrac{900}{60}\cdot\dfrac{\text{cents}}{\text{min}}=\boxed{15\text{ cents/min}}

__

3) We want gallons in the numerator, so that conversion will be done by (1 gal)/(8 pt). We want weeks in the denominator, so the conversion for that is (7 day)/(1 week).

  \dfrac{2\text{ pt}}{1\text{ day}}\times\dfrac{1\text{ gal}}{8\text{ pt}}\times\dfrac{7\text{ day}}{1\text{ week}}=\dfrac{2\times1\times7}{1\times8\times1}\cdot\dfrac{\text{gal}}{\text{week}}=\boxed{\dfrac{7}{4}\text{ gal/week}}

Vaselesa [24]

Hello!

<u><em>Answer:  ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ =54</em></u>

_________________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

First you had to convert element to fraction.

\frac{2}{3}*\frac{81}{1}

Then you had to cross out by the common factor of 3.

\frac{2}{1}=\frac{27}{1}

Multiply by the fraction.

\frac{2*27}{1*1}

Multiply by the number.

2*27=54

=\frac{54}{1*1}

Again multiply by the number.

1*1=1

=\frac{54}{1}

Apply rule.

\frac{54}{1}=54

54 is the right answer.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

Find the least common multiple of 18, 24 *
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the prime factorization of 18

18 = 2 × 3 × 3

Find the prime factorization of 24

24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Multiply each factor the greater number of times it occurs in steps above to find the LCM:

LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

LCM = 72

i hope this helps :)

If the area of a baseball diamond (shape of a square) is 8100 ft squared, how would you find the distance from 1st base to 3rd b
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

  • Exact distance = 90\sqrt{2} feet
  • Approximate distance = 127.2792 feet.

===========================================================

Explanation:

The area of the square is 8100 square feet, abbreviated ft^2.

Apply the square root to find the distance from any base to its adjacent counterpart (eg: from 1st to 2nd base). So we get sqrt(8100) = 90 ft as that side distance. Notice that 90*90 = 8100.

If you were to draw a line from 1st base to 3rd base, then you would split the square into two congruent right triangles. Each right triangle is isosceles (the two legs being 90 ft each).

Use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{90^2+90^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{2*90^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{2}*\sqrt{90^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{2}*90\\\\c = 90\sqrt{2} \ \text{ ... exact distance}\\\\c \approx 127.2792 \ \text{ ... approximate distance}\\\\

The distance from 1st to 3rd base is roughly 127.2792 feet.

What happens to the standard deviation of the average of a sample as the sample size increases? Group of answer choices It gets
NeX [460]

Answer:

Gets smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

- The standard deviation is the quantification of spread of data. According to descriptive statistics the standard deviation s is given by:

                             s = Σ (  x - u ) / sqrt ( n )

Where, n : sample size

            u : Mean value

- So we see that standard deviation (s) is inversely proportional to square root of sample size (n).

- We can see that as sample size (n) increases the standard deviation (s) decreases.
