On a map, 2 1/2 cm represents 60 km. What is the actual distance between two cities that are 5 1/2 cm apart on the map?

Answer:

They would be 132km apart

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we need to set up a proportion. To make that easier, let's first change the fractions into decimals.

2 1/2 = 2.5

5 1/2 = 5.5

Now we can put the scale in the right side fraction and the distance in the left.

2.5cm/60km = 5.5cm/xkm

Now cross multiply to solve

60 * 5.5 = 2.5 * x

330 = 2.5x

132 = x

Let the random variable X denote the number of network blackouts in a day. The
faltersainse [42]
E(X) = 0(0.7) + 1(0.2) + 2(0.1) = 0.2 + 0.2 = 0.4
The expected daily loss due to blackouts = 0.4 * $500 = $200

Var(X) = 0(0.7 - 0.4)^2 + 1(0.2 - 0.4)^2 + 2(0.1 - 0.4)^2 = 0.04 + 0.18 = 0.22
The expected daily variance due to blackouts = 0.22 * $500 = $110

What is 9/16 x 12/13 and 7/10 x 5/28
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

1. 9/16 * 12/13 = 27/52

2. 7/10 * 5/28 = 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

9 / 16 * 12/13

9 * 12 = 108

16 * 13 = 208

108 / 208

Simplify:

27/52

The price of gold has increased by 35% per year from 2000 in the year 2000 hairy bought a gold ring for $590 which of the follow
Lyrx [107]

Since the price is increasing by percentage, rather than a constant rate, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y=ab^x (a = initial value, b = growth/decay)

Since the value was $590 in the year 2000, 590 will be our a variable.

Since the value is *increasing* by 35%, add 1 and 0.35 (35% in decimal form) together to get 1.35. 1.35 is going to be your b variable.

Putting our equation together, our equation is f(x) = 590(1.35)^x

What is 30% of 70. show your work<br>​
mamaluj [8]

Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

we have two simple equations:

1) 70=100%

2) x=30%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

70/x=100%/30%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 30% of 70

70/x=100/30

(70/x)*x=(100/30)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by

70=3.33333333333*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.33333333333) to get x

70/3.33333333333=x

The fore, the answer is 21
