Calvin works at a pizza place making pizzas. If he is working alone, he can make an average of 15 3/4 per hour. If he works with

his friend Megan, he tends to get distracted, and his rate falls by 1/2 per hour. How many pizzas can Calvin make in a 8- hour shift with Megan?

The fraction 1/2 converts to 0.50 in decimal form.

The mixed number 15 & 3/4 is the same as 15.75

If Calvin is distracted, then he makes 15.75-0.50 = 15.25 pizzas per hour on average.

Multiply by 8 to find the total number of pizzas possible.

8*15.25 = 122

<h3>Answer: Calvin can make 122 pizzas overall if he is distracted</h3>

Calvin can make 122 pizzas in an 8-hour shift with Megan.

Since Calvin works at a pizza place making pizzas, and if he is working alone, he can make an average of 15 3/4 per hour, but if he works with his friend Megan, he tends to get distracted, and his rate falls by 1/2 per hour, to determine how many pizzas can Calvin make in a 8-hour shift with Megan, the following calculation must be performed:

  • Rate of pizzas made x number of hours = Total number of pizzas
  • (15 3/4 - 1/2) x 8 = X
  • (15.75 - 0.5) x 8 = X
  • 15.25 x 8 = X
  • 122 = X

Therefore, Calvin can make 122 pizzas in an 8-hour shift with Megan.

<h3>Answer:   60 minutes</h3>

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

Explanation:

Let's find the LCM of 4 and 5, which are the first two items of the list.

  • multiples of 4 are: 4,8,12,16,20,24,...
  • multiples of 5 are: 5,10,15,20,25,...

The smallest item in each list is 20, so the LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.

We can replace the "4,5" in the list "4,5,12,15" with "20". So our new list would be "20,12,15".

We then repeat the process of finding the LCM of the first two items

  • multiples of 20 are: 20,40,60,80,...
  • multiples of 12 are: 12,24,36,48,60,72,...

LCM of 20 and 12 is 60.

The list "20,12,15" condenses to "60,15".

Repeat this process of finding the LCM once more and you'll find the overall LCM is 60.

Therefore, the LCM of the entire set {4,5,12,15} is 60. This is the smallest multiple shared by all four values. Interestingly enough, the outer values pair up to multiply to 60, and so do the inner values.

4*15 = 60

5*12 = 60

The bells ring together every <u>60 minutes</u>

In other words, all of the bells ring together at the same time every hour (perhaps at the top of every hour; eg at 7:00 pm and at 8:00 pm, etc).

16 feet equal how many yards?
elixir [45]

We know that there are 3 feet in one yard. So, to find out how many yards is equivalent to 16 feet, we must divide this number by 3.

16/3 or 5 1/3

Therefore, 16 feet is equal to 16/3 or 5 1/3 yards.

Hope this helps!

You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard devia
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

n=(\frac{2.58(58.2)}{1})^2 =22546.82 \approx 22547

So the answer for this case would be n=22547 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define some notation

\bar X represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=58.2 represent the population standard deviation

n represent the sample size  

ME =1 represent the margin of error desire

The margin of error is given by this formula:

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}    (a)

And on this case we have that ME =+1 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2   (b)

The critical value for 99% of confidence interval now can be founded using the normal distribution. The significance would be \alpha=0.01 and the critical value z_{\alpha/2}=2.58, replacing into formula (b) we got:

n=(\frac{2.58(58.2)}{1})^2 =22546.82 \approx 22547

So the answer for this case would be n=22547 rounded up to the nearest integer
