A bookcase has 3 shelves with a total of 24 books. The top shelf has 8 mystery books. The middle shelf has 10 math books. The bottom shelf has 6 science books. Two books are now taken off each shelf. What fraction of the books remaining on the three shelves are math books? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

So, the ratio of the books is 8:10:6. After 2 books were taken off of each shelf, it became 6:8:4. All of these numbers added up is 18. So that means 8/18 of the books are math books, which can be simplified to 4/9.

A small cargo plane currently has 140 pounds of cargo aboard. In addition, n boxes weighing 45 pounds each will be brought aboard. Suppose that the total weight of the cargo on board must be less than p pounds. Using the values and variables given, write an inequality describing this.

Answers

Answer:

The inequality that represents this situation is: [tex]140 + 45*n < p[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the plane already had 140 pounds on board and "n" boxes will be loaded on it, then the weigh of each box multiplied by the number of box should be the extra cargo on the plane. This extra cargo added to the previous load must be less than the limit of cargo the plane can take as shown below:

ABCD is a square. Square A B C D is shown. A diagonal is drawn from point A to point C. The measure of angle B A C is question mark. What is the measure of angle BAC? 30° 45° 60° 90

Answers

Answer:

45°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the diagonal cuts the square into two triangles, the angles b, a, and , c all add up to 180°. Because the shape is a square we know that one of the angles is right/90° meaning the two remaining angles are 45°. Angles a, and c had the diagonal drawn through so those two angles are each 45° and b is 90°, and since they are asking for bac we know that they want the middle angle, i.e angle A.

Since ABCD is a square, and AC is the diagonal of the square, therefore, the measure of angle BAC would be: B. 45°.

What is a Square?A square is a quadrilateral that has four interior angles of 90 degrees each, and also has four equal sides.The diagonal of a square bisects each vertex of the square into equal halves.

Thus, since ABCD is a square, and AC is the diagonal of the square, therefore, the measure of angle BAC would be: B. 45°.

A life insurance company sells a $100,000 one year term life insurance policy to a 30-year old male for $475. The probability that the male survives the year is .999172. Find the expected value for the insurance company.

Answers

Answer:

The expected value for the insurance company is $392.20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value of a random variable, X is:

[tex]E(X)=x\cdot P(X)[/tex]

It is provided that a life insurance company sells a $100,000 one year term life insurance policy to a 30-year old male for $475.

The probability that the male survives the year is, P(S) = 0.999172.

Then the probability that the male does not survives the year is:

P (S') = 1 - P (S)

        = 1 - 0.999172

P (S') = 0.000828

The amount the company owes the male if he survives is, S = $475.

The amount the company owes the male if he does not survives is,

S' = $475 - $100,000 = -$99525.

Compute the expected value for the insurance company as follows:

[tex]E(\text{Insurance Company})=S\cdot P(S)+S'\cdot P(S')[/tex]

                                     [tex]=(475\times 0.999172)+(-99525\times 0.000828)\\=474.6067-82.4067\\=392.20[/tex]

Thus, the expected value for the insurance company is $392.20.

Answers

Answer:

(b) -m, m + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x² − 3x − m(m + 3) = 0

x² − 3x = m(m + 3)

x² − 3x + 9/4 = m(m + 3) + 9/4

(x − 3/2)² = m(m + 3) + 9/4

(x − 3/2)² = m² + 3m + 9/4

(x − 3/2)² = (m + 3/2)²

x − 3/2 = ±(m + 3/2)

x − 3/2 = m + 3/2, -m − 3/2

x = m + 3, -m

Then simplify

a/5=5

Multiply both sides by 5

(a/5)*5=(5)*5

Then simplify

a= 25

B )3b/7-1=5

First you need to add 1 to both sides

(3b/7-1)+1=(5)+1

Simplify

3b/7=6

Multiply both sides by 7

(3b/7)*7=(6)*7

Simplify

3b=42

Divide both sides by 3

Eparture time of a car is 0540 hours and it traveled for 45 minutes before it reached its destination. At what time did the car arrived at its destination : *

Answers

Answer:

The time at which the car arrives at its destination is 0625 hours or 6: 25 am or 25 minutes past 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Departure time = 0540 Hours means 5: 40 am or 40 minutes past 5 in the morning.

Now add 45 mins

Hours : Minutes

      5:        40

      +         45

    5      :    85

But 1 hour contains 60 minutes so 85 - 60 gives 25 minutes . those 60 minutes = 1 hour are carried over the hours and added .

Hours : Minutes

       1

      5:        40

      +         45

    6      :    25

The time at which the car arrives at its destination is 0625 hours or 6: 25 am or 25 minutes past 6 in the morning.

Draw a diagram of this statement,
Fifteen thousand dollars was raised by the booster club. This was two thirds of
the goal.
Use your diagram to determine the percent by which the booster club fell short of their goal

Answers

Answer:

The percentage by which the booster club fell short is 33% as shown on the chart

Step-by-step explanation:

To represent the given data pictorially, a pie chart is suitable

The circumference of the pie chart will represent the amount to be raised by the booster club and a sector of the circle which is two-thirds of the circumference represents the amount raised

Given that the amount raised = 2/3×Goal = $15,000, we have;

We represent the amount raised as a sector of the circle as follows;

Sector angle = 2/3×360° = 240°

Total sector of goal amount = Entire circle = 360°

Amount club fell short = 360° - 240° = 120°

The goal amount = 3/2 × $15,000

Percentage by which the club fell short = 120/360×100 = 1/3×100 = 33.33%
