The percentage of the bags of cement that would weigh less than 50 lbs. would be 50% because the normal distribution is symmetrical, and since the mean is your midpoint, then it would be 50% higher, and 50% lower.
So for this problem we need to do order of operations so the very first step that we need to do here is (8+2) because that is the smallest enclosed symbols (8+2)=10 next divide by 20 because that is the next step in the equation which 20/10=2, so now we have {[2]^6+6} and due to order of operations the next step here is to take 2 to the power of 6 which is 64 so now we have {64+6} which is 70 so now we have 70/(4^2/2) and due to order of operations we do the parentheses first and that would mean that we do 4^2 because exponents come after parantheses like so,
70/(16/2) now we do 16/2 because its still inside the paranthesess so 16/2=8 so now we have 70/8 and that equals are end answer of 8.75 Enjoy!=)
The density of aluminum is known to be 2.70 g/cm3
After Sally had given 1/9 of her stamps to Andy, she had 280 stamps (since they now have equal shares). So 280 was 8/9 of what she started with, making the 1/9 she handed over equal to 280/8, that’s 35. And Andy was “under” by the same amount she was “over” an equal share, that’s 35 under matching her 35 over, which is 70 altogether.
By all means use algebra but you may find you can reason a word problem through in words.
