Step-by-step explanation:

always try to bring fractions you need to compare to the same denominator (bottom number).

we have 9/10 of the pizza left.

then 4/5 if the pizza are eaten.

how to compare 9/10 with 4/5 ?

by bringing 4/5 also to a fraction of 10ths.

what do I need to multiply 5 with to get 10 ?

right, 2.

since we don't want to change the overall value of the original fraction, we need to multiply both levels (numerator and denominator) by that same factor :

4/5 × 2/2 = 8/10

aha !

that we can compare with 9/10.

so, when Lucas ate 4/5 (= 8/10) of the pizza, when there was originally 9/10 left, then we have 1/10 of the pizza left.

The number of flaws per square yard in a type of carpet material varies with mean 1.4 flaws per square yard and standard deviati

oksian1 [2.3K]

According to the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution of the sample means is approximately normal, with the mean equal to the population mean (1.4 flaws per square yard) and standard deviation given by:
$\frac{\sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }=\frac{1.2}{ \sqrt{178} }=0.09$
The z-score for 1.5 flaws per square yard is:
$z=\frac{1.5-1.4}{0.09}=1.11$
The cumulative probability for a z-score of 1.11 is 0.8665. Therefore the probability that the mean number of flaws exceeds 1.5 per square yard is
1 - 0.8665 = 0.1335.

Divide.

Answer:

Answer in simplified form is - 10 1/2 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

(5 1/4) ÷ (- 2 1/2)

This can be simplified as :

(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2)

Since 5 1/4 = 21/4 and -2 1/ 2 = -5/2

So we can write,

(5 1/4) ÷ ( -2 1/2) = 21/4 ÷ ( - 5/2)

or (21/4) / (-5/2)

or ( 21/4) * (-2/5)

or -42/20

or -21/10

or - 10 1/2 , this is the answer

Hence we get answer in simplified form as -10 1/2

If y = 3x+b intersects y= mx +3 at (2, 3), find the value of b and m.

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The value of b is -3 and m is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to substitute the coordinates into both equation in order to find m and b value :

Find m,

$y = mx + 3$

At (2,3),

$3 = m(2) + 3$

$3 - 3 = 2m$

$2m = 0$

$m = 0$

Find b,

$y = 3x + b$

At (2,3),

$3 = 3(2) + b$

$b + 6 = 3$

$b = 3 - 6$

$b = - 3$

Brooke has to set up 70 chairs for the class talent show. But, there is not room for more than 20 rows.

den301095 [7]

If there are 70 chairs but only 20 rows then that means he will have to set up 3.5 chairs per row, or Brook could set up 14 rows with 5 chairs in each row.

Srry if that didn't help but that's what i got from that.
