Answer: Sometimes

Explanation:

Quotient greater than 1:

3/4 divide by 2/3
= 3/4 x 3/2 = 9/8 > 1

4/5 divide by 2/5
= 4/5 x 5/2 = 2 > 1

Quotient less than 1

1/100 divide by 2/10
= 1/100 x 10/2 = 1/20 < 1

1/50 divide by 1/25
= 1/50 x 25/1 = 1/2 < 1

Suppose that you work for the child social services agency in your county. Your job is to investigate instances of possible chil

True [87]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: ∪ = No possible child abuse or neglect

Alternative hypothesis: Uₐ = Possible child abuse or neglect

Step-by-step explanation:

Null hypothesis: ∪ = No possible child abuse or neglect

Alternative hypothesis: Uₐ = Possible child abuse or neglect

A type I error occurs when you reject the null hypothesis when it is true. In this situation, a type I error occurs when you conclude on possible child neglect or abuse and place the child in protective custody

A type II error occurs when you accept the null hypothesis when it is false. In this instance, a type II error occurs when you conclude on no possible child abuse or neglect when there is and fail to remove the child from the home.

In this case, the type II error is the more serious error. Failure to remove the child when there is possible child abuse or neglect will lead to more detrimental effect. Although, the type I error is also serious, it is not so detrimental as the type II error.

If the simple interest on $4000 for 8 years is $2240, then what is the interest rate?

mixer [17]

$~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned} \\\\ I = Prt\qquad \begin{cases} I=\textit{interest earned}\dotfill & \$2240\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$4000\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &8 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 2240 = (4000)(\frac{r}{100})(8) \implies 2240=\cfrac{32000r}{100}\implies 2240=320r \\\\\\ \cfrac{2240}{320}=r\implies 7=r$

280 is divided between Krutika, Natasha & Richard so that Krutika gets twice as much as Natasha, and Natasha gets three time

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Natasha gets 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know how much Natasha gets

Krutika gets 2 times as much as Natasha

If Natasha gets x, Krutika gets 2x

If Natasha gets x, Richard will get x/3 ( 3 times of this is what Natasha gets)

Now let us have a ratio;

K : N : R

2x : x : x/3

Multiply through by 3

6x : 3x : x

To get the amount Natasha gets, we add up all ratio; (6x + 3x + x ) = 10x

Natasha gets 3x of the total ratio

That will be;

3x /10x * 280

= 3/10 * 280

= 84
