Marty and Adam want to share 8/10 feet of rope, equally. What amount of rope should each person get?

Answers

Answer: 2/5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Marty and Adam want to share 8/10 feet of rope, equally.

The amount of rope that each person would get would be calculated by dividing 8/10 by 2. This will be:

= 8/10 ÷ 2

= 8/10 × 1/2

= 8/20

= 2/5

Therefore, each person gets 2/5 feet of rope.

Solve the following system of equations algebraically using the ELIMINATION METHOD. Show all work.
x-3y=1
3x-5y=11

Answers

Answer:

(7,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by -3

(x-3y=1)  = -3x+9y=-3

Combine like terms with the new equation and the second equation

(-3x+9y=-3) + (3x-5y=11)   = 4y=8

Divide each side by 4

4y/4=8/4

y=2

Plug in 2 for y in any equation. It doesn’t matter which one

x-3(2)=1

Distribute

x-6=1

Add 6 to both sides

x-6=1

+6  +6

x=7

Answer: x = 7 y = 2

(7, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by -3 and the second by 1:

-3(x - 3y = 1)

1(3x - 5y = 11)

Becomes:

-3x + 9y = -3

3x - 5y = 11

Add the equations to eliminate x:

-3x + 9y = -3

3x - 5y = 11

4y = 8

Solve for y by dividing by 4:

4y/4 = 8/4

y = 2

Now we plug in y to the first equation:

x - 3 ( 2 ) = 1

x - 6 = 1

Add 6 to both sides:

x - 6 + 6 = 1 + 6

x = 7

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

8(4n+3)=−72

(8)(4n)+(8)(3)=−72(Distribute)

32n+24=−72

Step 2: Subtract 24 from both sides.

32n+24−24=−72−24

32n=−96

Step 3: Divide both sides by 32.

32n/32 = −96/32

n=−3

Answer:

n= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

32n+24=-72

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

If GH║FE, then ∆DEF ~ ∆DHG.

In similar triangles, corresponding sides have the same ratios.

The ratios of corresponding sides are ...

  DG/DF = DH/DE

  DG/(DG + GF) = 18/(18+36)

  (1/2GF)/((1/2GF +GF) = 1/3

  (1/2)/(3/2) = 1/3

  1/3 = 1/3

Corresponding sides are proportional. Angle D is congruent to itself, so ∆DEF ~ ∆DHG by the SAS similarity postulate. Angles DGH and DFE are therefore congruent and GH║FE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Researchers were investigating whether there is a significant difference between two medications, R and S, designed to reduce fleas found on cats. From a sample of 300 cat owners, the researchers randomly assigned 150 cat owners to use medication R on their cats and the remaining cat owners to use medication S. For the cats using medication R, 88 percent had no fleas. For the cats using medication S, 90 percent had no fleas. Which of the following is the most appropriate method for analyzing the results?

A two-sample z -test for a difference in population proportions

A two-sample z-test for a difference in sample proportions

A one-sample z-test for a sample proportion

A one-sample z-test for a population proportion

A one-sample z-test for a difference in sample proportions

Answers

Answer:

A) A two-sample  z -test for a difference in population proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine whether a difference in proportions is significant, the two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions is the most appropriate method for the analysis.

The most appropriate method for analyzing the results is A. A two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions.

What is the hypothesis?

In statistics, hypothesis testing is the process by which an analyst tests an assumption about a population's parameter.

In this scenario, we have two different treatments (medication R and S) applied to two separate samples (150 cat owners each) and we want to determine if there is a significant difference in the proportion of cats with no fleas between the two groups.

This is a classic scenario for a two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions, which tests the hypothesis that the difference in proportions between two independent populations is equal to zero.

Thus, a two-sample z-test for a difference in population proportions.

Hence, the correct answer would be option (A)

The base and the height of Triangle A are half the base and the height of Triangle B. How many times greater is the area of Triangle B?
The area of Triangle B is
times greater

Answers

Answer:

Let's say that the base of triangle a is 2 and the height is 3. That makes the base and height of triangle b 4 and 6. To find the area of a triangle, use the formula 1/2 multiplied by height multiplied by base. So the area of triangle a is 2 multiplied by 3 multiplied by 1/2 giving us 3. The area of triangle b is 1/2 multiplied by 4 multiplied by 6 giving us 12. Since 12 divided by 3 is 4, the area of triangle b is 4 times greater than the area of triangle a.
