A microwave is placed on top of two boxes. One box is 3 feet 5 inches tall, the other box is 2 feet 8 inches tall, and the microwave is 3 feet 10 inches tall. How tall are they combined? Write your answer in feet and inches. Use a number less than 12 for inches.

Answers

Answer 1

The combined length is 9 feet 11 inches

What is length?

Distance is measured by length. Length is a quantity having the dimension distance in the International System of Quantities. Most measuring systems use a base unit for length from which all other units are derived. The metre is the basic unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The greatest extended dimension of a stationary item is typically believed to be its length. This is not always the case, as it may depend on the location of the item. Height, sometimes known as vertical length or vertical extent, and width, breadth, or depth are all words used to describe the length of a stationary object. When length is the greatest dimension, width or breadth generally relate to a lesser dimension.

Given, length of a box = 3 feet 5 inches

length of another box = 2 feet 8 inches

length of microwave = 3 feet 10 inches

Total length = 3 feet 5 inches + 2 feet 8 inches + 3 feet 10 inches

                    = 9 feet 11 inches

Find the y-intercept of the line graphed by the equation 1/2x + y = 7. (0, 14) (14, 0) (7, 0) (0, 7)

Answers

The y-intercept of the line graphed by the equation [tex]\frac{1}{2} x+y=7[/tex] is (0,7)

Option (D) is correct.

The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

The given equation is [tex]\frac{1}{2} x+y=7[/tex]

Converting the equation in Slope-intercept form, we get

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2} x+7[/tex]                   ...(1)

Now, to find the y-intercept, substitute x = 0 in the equation and solve for the value of y

Putting x = 0 in equation (1), we get

[tex]y=-\frac{1}{2} (0)+7[/tex]

[tex]y=7[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line will be (0,y) i.e., (0,7)

SpongeBob spins the spinner to the left. What is the probability that the spinner lands on a number greater than 6?

Answers

SpongeBob spins the spinner to the left. What is the probability that the spinner lands on a number greater than 6?​

we know that

The total numbers in the spinner are 10

The numbers that are greater than 6 are (7,8,9 and 10)------> 4 numbers

so

To find out the probability, divide the total numbers that are greater than 6 by the total number

therefore

P=4/10

P=4/10(100)

the answer is

P=40% o P=4/10 or P=0.4

a box is filled with 3 red cards, 6 Blue cards, and 6 green cards. A card is chosen at random from the box. what is the probability that it is a red or a green card? write your answer as a fraction in simplest form

Answers

Probability of red or green card = 3/5

Explanation:

Number of red cards = 3

Number of blue cards = 6

Number of green cards = 6

Total number of cards = 6 + 6 + 3 = 15

Probability of red or green card = Probability of red card + Probability of green card

Probability of red card = number of red cards/total number of cards

Probability of red card = 3/15

Probability of green card = number of green cards/total number of cards

Probability of green card = 6/15

A jet’s speed in still air is 240 mph. One day it flew 700 miles with a tailwind (the wind pushing it along) and then returned the same distance against the wind. The total flying time was 6 hours. Find the speed of the wind.

Answers

Speed of the wind for jet speed in still air 240mph and jet covers 700 miles with tailwind and same distance against the wind in total time of 6 hours is equal to 40mph.

As given in the question,

Given data:

Jet speed in still air = 240mph

Let x be the speed of the wind.

Speed with tail wind = 240 +x

Distance covered with tail wind = 700miles

Time taken by jet with tail wind

= Distance/ speed

= 700 / (240 +x)  __(1)

Speed against the wind = 240 - x

Distance covered against the wind = 700miles

Time taken by jet against the wind

= Distance/ speed

= 700 / (240 - x)  __(2)

Total time taken is 6 hours

[700 / (240 +x)] + [700 / (240 - x)] = 6

⇒ 700( 240 -x + 240 + x) = 6 (240 +x)(240 - x)

⇒ 700 ( 480) = 6 ( 240² -x²)

⇒ 700 (80) = 57600 -x²

⇒ x² = 57600 - 56000

⇒ x² = 1600

⇒ x = √1600

⇒ x= 40 mph

Therefore, speed of the wind for jet speed in still air 240mph and jet covers 700 miles with tailwind and same distance against the wind in total time of 6 hours is equal to 40mph.

A) We want to simplify negative one eighth j plus two thirds minus the expression five thirds j plus nine twelfths. This would be expressed as;

-1/8j + 2/3 - (5/3j + 9/12)

= -1/8j + 2/3 - 5/3j - 9/12

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given,

mean = 101

standard deviations = 14

We need to find the number of standard deviations between 73 and the mean.

Number of standard deviations = (73 - 101)/14 = - 28/14 = - 2

It is 2 standard deviations from the mean. According to the empirical rule, 95% of the population lies between 2 standard deviations of the mean. The required area is to the right of 2 standard deviations since we want to find the least score. Thus, the probability of having IQ scores are at least 73 is

4. 805 ft^2

Answers

Robert will paint 310.5 square ft

The side of Robert's barn contains a triangle and a rectangle of which the dimensions are given in the diagram.

If Robert paint one side of the barn, then he needs to paint the triangle as well as the rectangle. So we need to find the area of the triangle and rectangle first.

For the triangle, base = 23 ft

height = 7 ft

Area of the triangle = 1/2 bh

                                 = 1/2 x 7 x 23

                                 = 80.5 square ft.

For the rectangle, length = 23 ft

width = 10 ft

Area of the rectangle = length x width

                                    = 23 x 10

                                    = 230 square ft.

Area Robert needs to paint = Area of the triangle + Area of the rectangel

                                              = 80.5 + 230

About 5% of all adults deliberately do a one-time fling and feel no guilt about it! In a group of six adult friends, what is the probability of the following? (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Answers

Using the binomial distribution, the probability of no one having done a one time fling is of 0.735 = 73.5%.

Binomial distribution

The mass density formula for the probability of x successes is:

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters of the formula are given as follows:

n is the number of trials of the experiment.p is the probability of a success on a single trial of the experiment.

In the context of this problem, the values of the parameters are as follows:

p = 0.05, as about 5% of all adults deliberately do a one-time fling and feel no guilt about it.n = 6, as there are six adult friends in the group.

The probability that no one has done a one time fling is P(X = 0), hence the probability is calculated as follows:

P(X = 0) = (0.95)^6 = 0.735 = 73.5%.

C>0, |u|=c is equivalent to u=

Answers

|u|=c is equivalent to u = c or u = -c.

Given that c > 0.

i.e., c is a positive number.

Then |u| = c. That is, absolute value of u = c, a positive number.

An absolute value function is defined by,

 |u| = { u   ; if u ≥ 0

        { -u   ; if u < 0

The absolute value of any number, Positive or negative, is always a positive number.

So here |u| = c, with c > 0.

Comparing with the definition of absolute value function, c is either u or -u.

More clearly, c = u, when u ≥ 0 or c = -u , when u < 0.

Hence the value of c depends on u.

Thus,  |u|=c is equivalent to u = c or u = -c.

The cost of a Turkish cloth varies jointly as the length and width of the cloth. If the cost is TL3848 for an 8 ft by 13 ft cloth, then what is the cost of a 17 ft by 23 ft cloth?

Answers

The cost of the the 17 feet by 23 feet Turkish cloth given the constant of variation is  TL14,467.

What is the cost?

A variable varies jointly if the value of one variable depends on the value of two or more variables. In this question, if the length and width of the cloth increases, the cost of the cloth increases. Also,  if the length and width of the cloth decreases, the cost of the cloth decreases.

The equation that represents joint variation is:

y = kab

Where:

y = dependent variable = cost of the Turkish cloth k = constant of variation a = dependent variable = length of the cloth b = dependent variable = width

TL3848 = k(13 x 8)

k = TL3848 / (13 x 8)
