She started with 60 pennies

<h3>Ratios and propotions</h3>

Let the number of a bunch of pennies she has to be "x"

If she gives 1/3 of her pennies to her older brother, she will have 2/3 x remaining

If she gives 2/5 of her remaining pennies to her younger sister, she will have 2/3x- (2/5 of 2/3x) =  x remainijg

If Sally has 24 pennies remaining, then;

2/3x - 4/15x = 24

10x-4x/15 = 24

6x/15 = 24

6x = 15 * 24

x = 60

This means that she started with 60 pennies

Answer:

A. {3,4}

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the x values which would make the entire function undefined, you would have to factor the bottom equation. Factoring x^2+7x+12 gives you (x+3)(x+4). If you set each of these equal to 0, you end up with the x values being 3 and 4.

A race director is preparing for an upcoming marathon and estimates that the mean time to
Taya2010 [7]

93.06% of the race is longer than 236 minutes.

The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x=raw\ score,\mu=mean,\sigma=standard\ deviation

Given that μ = 310, σ = 50

For x > 236:

z=\frac{236-310}{50}=-1.48

From the normal distribution table:

P(x > 236) = P(z > -1.48) = 1 - P(z < -1.48) = 1 - 0.0694 = 0.9306 =  93.06%

93.06% of the race is longer than 236 minutes.
