Part A

x = amount of money she starts with

(4/9)x = cost of the dress

(5/9)x = amount of money leftover after buying the dress

note that 4/9 and 5/9 add to 1 to represent 100% of her money

(3/4)*(5/9)x = (15/36)x = (5/12)x = amount spent on shoes

We see that she spent 5/12 of her original amount of money on shoes.

-----------------------

We can look at a more concrete example if the previous section does not make sense.

Let's multiply the denominators 9 and 4 to get 9*4 = 36. Doing this trick will mean that the later steps won't involve decimal values.

Let's say she starts off with $36

Multiply that with 4/9 to get (4/9)*36 = 16. So in this hypothetical situation, the dress costs $16 and she's left with 36-16 = 20 dollars.

Multiply that 20 by 3/4 to get (3/4)*20 = 15

In this situation, the shoes cost $15

We'll then divide the cost of the shoes (15) over the original amount of money she started with (36)

15/36 = (3*5)/(3*12) = 5/12

-----------------------

<h3>Answer:  5/12</h3>

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

Part B

From the first section in part A, we found that:

  • (4/9)x = amount of money spent on the dress
  • (5/12)x = amount of money spent on shoes

Add those two expressions

(4/9)x + (5/12)x = (16/36)x + (15/36)x = (31/36)x

This indicates that buying the dress and shoes will cost (31/36)x dollars, where x is the original amount of money Jing has to start with.

The amount left over is (5/36)x because 5/36 adds with 31/36 to get 1.

Take 1/3 of this to get:

(1/3)*(5/36)x = (5/108)x

Then set this equal to 18 and solve for x

(5/108)x = 18

5x = 18*108

5x = 1944

x = 1944/5

x = 388.80

--------------------

Let's check the answer

If she starts with 388.80 dollars, then the dress costs (4/9)*388.80 = 172.80

She's left with 388.80 - 172.80 = 216 dollars after buying the dress.

She then spends the remaining 3/4 of that on shoes. So (3/4)*216 = 162 dollars is spent on the shoes.

Jing now has 216 - 162 = 54 dollars left over.

1/3 of which is spent on the shoe bag, meaning it costs (1/3)*54 = 18 dollars

This confirms our answer.

--------------------

<h3>Answer:  $388.80</h3>

stich3 [128]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>A. strong negative correlation.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

<u>Direction of a relationship</u>

  1. Positive- If one variable increases, the other tends to also increase. If one decreases, the other tends to also. It is represented by positive numbers(i.e 0 to 1).
  2. Negative- If one variable increases, the other tends to decrease, and vice-versa.  It is represented by negative numbers(i.e 0 to -1)

<u>Strength of a relationship</u>

  1. Perfect Relationship- When two variables are linearly related, the correlation coefficient is either 1 or -1. They are said to be perfectly linearly related, either positively or negatively.
  2. No relationship- When two variables have no relationship at all, their correlation is 0.

As in this case, correlation coefficient was found to be -0.91, which is negative and close to -1, so it is a strong negative correlation.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

buenas tardes .....

solucion

Volumen de un cilindro: es igual al área de la tapa por la altura del mismo

A = πD² * h / 4

Lata grande y lata pequeña

Para la lata grande, el diámetro y la altura han aumentado un 20%.

Lata pequeña:

d = 4 cm

h = 3 cm

A 1 = π * (4) ² * 3/4

A1 = 37,70 cm²

Lata grande:

d = 4 * 1,2 = 4,8 cm

h = 3 * 1,2 = 3,6 cm

A2 = π (4,8) ²3,6 / 4

A2 = 65,14 cm²

Si 37,7 representa el 100%

  65,14 representación x

x = 170%

El incremento del volumen es de un 70%

Hi

I belive you add the top side (4) plus the bottom side (9.5) witch would equal 13.5 times the hieght (3) equals 40.5 divided by 2 equals 20.25. the area is 20.25ft squared

another way to do it
4+9.5= 13.5
13.5×3= 40.5
40.5÷2= 20.25ft
