Answer:

➡7pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's suppose that x = the number of ropes that can be cut.

➡ $X = 11\frac{1}{2} ÷ 1\frac{1}{2}$

➡ $X = 11.5 ÷ 11.5$

➡ $X \approx 7.66$

➡ $X = \bf 7pieces$

Answer:

7 whole pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

There is 11.5 inches of rope.

Length of a piece = 1.5 inches

No . of pieces = total / unit length

= 11.5 / 1.5

= 7.667

There will be 7 whole pieces

First you would find that not all the units are the same in this problem, so you convert yards to feet. So 4 yards = 12 feet.

The proportion you would make would be x/12 = 2/1

Complete the equation of the line through (-9,-9)(−9,−9)left parenthesis, minus, 9, comma, minus, 9, right parenthesis and (-6,0

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line is;

y = 3x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the equation of the line through (-9,-9) and (-6,0)

we start by calculating the slope of the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (0+ 9)/(-6+9) = 9/3 = 3

The general equation of the line is;

y = mx + c

y = 3x + c

To get c, we use any of the points

we substitute for example -6 for x and 0 for y

0 = 3(-6) + c

c = 0 + 18 = 18

So the equation of the line is;

y = 3x + 18

Answer:

The conclusion is that the researcher was correct

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 13$

The sample mean is $\= x = 9.63$

The standard deviation is $s = 0.585$

The significance level is $\alpha = 0.05$

The Null Hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 0$

The Alternative Hypothesis is $H_a = \mu < 10$

The test statistic is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x - \mu }{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$

Substituting values

$t = \frac{9.63 - 10 }{\frac{0.585}{\sqrt{13} } }$

$t = - 2.280$

Now the critical value for $\alpha$ is

$t_{\alpha } = 1.645$

This obtained from the critical value table

So comparing the critical value of alpha and the test value we see that the test value is less than the critical value so the Null Hypothesis is rejected

The conclusion is that the researcher was correct
