A rectangular block of wood measures 5 inches wide. Over time, the width of the block of wood will shrink by 5%. A builder lets the block of
wood shrink. He wants to use it to fill a gap that measures 3.5 inches wide.
How much does the builder need to cut off the wood block so that it will fit exactly in the gap? Enter the answer in the box.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

He will have to cut off 1.25 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 5% of 5 inches

0.05(5)=0.25 inches

5 inches - 0.25 inches= 4.75 inches

4.75 inches is how wide the wood is after it shrinks.

Find how much he needs to cut off

4.75 inches - 3.5 inches=1.25 inches

He will need to cut off 1.25 inches in order for the block to fit exactly.

If the ray ML makes an angle measuring 2 radians with the ray MN, and the length of the arc intercepted by the angle is 72 inches, what is the radius of the window?

Answers

Answer:

36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram attached,

Applying

s = 2πr∅/360

Where s = lenght of the arc, r = radius of the window, ∅ = angle formed in degree, π = pie.

make r the subject of the equation

r = 360s/2π∅................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: s = 72 inches, ∅ = 2 radians = 114.6°

Constant: 3.14

Substitute these values into equation 2

r = (360×72)/(114.6×3.14×2)

r = 25920/719.688

r = 36 inches

Help!!! Whats x ive been struggling

Answers

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN :-

KJ = 3 unitsQR = 12 unitsJL = x unitsQS = x + 6 units

TO FIND :-

The value of x

SOLUTION :-

To find the value of x , lets assume that both the triangles are similar to each other. As they are similar , their sides are proportional to each other i.e. :-

[tex]\frac{KJ}{JL} = \frac{QR}{QS}[/tex]

[tex]=> \frac{3}{x} = \frac{12}{x + 6}[/tex]

Cross multiply the denominators.

[tex]=> 3(x + 6) = 12 \times x[/tex]

[tex]=> 3x + 18 = 12x[/tex]

Substract both the sides from 3.

[tex]=> 12x - 3x = 3x + 18 - 3x[/tex]

[tex]=> 9x = 18[/tex]

Divide both the sides by 9

[tex]=> \frac{9x}{9} = \frac{18}{9}[/tex]

[tex]=> x = 2[/tex]

Linda invested $12,500 in an
account that earns 4.5% interest,
compounded monthly. What is
the value of the account after
4 years? Round your answer to
the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer:

12500

Step-by-step explanation:

4.5 × 48=216.

12500 Plus 216= 12,716

The value of the invested money becomes $103393.20 after 4 years if the interest rate is 4.5% and compounded annually.

What is compound interest?

It is defined as the interest on the principal value or deposit and the interest which is gained on the principal value in the previous year.

We can calculate the compound interest using the below formula:

[tex]\rm A = P(1+r)^t[/tex]

Where A = Final amount

          P = Principal amount

          r  = annual rate of interest

          t = How long the money is deposited or borrowed (in years)

We have in the question:

p = $12,500

r = 4.5% ⇒ 0.045

t = 4 years ⇒ 4×12 ⇒ 48 months

Put the above values in the formula, we get;

[tex]\rm A = 12500(1+0.045)^4^8[/tex]

A = 12500×8.27145

A = $103393.20

Thus, the value of the invested money becomes $103393.20 after 4 years if the interest rate is 4.5% and compounded annually.

Answers

Answer:

The true statements are :

A. A random variable is a numerical description of the outcome of a statistical experiment.

B. In most​ applications, discrete random variables represent counted​ data.

C. In most applications, continuous random variables represent measured data.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is true statement that,

A. A random variable is a numerical description of the outcome of a statistical experiment.

B. In most​ applications, discrete random variables represent counted​ data.

C. In most applications, continuous random variables represent measured data.

The false statement is -

D. The expected value of a discrete random variable is equal to the standard deviation of the random variable.

Reason -

The mean value, or expected value, of a discrete random variable X is given by the following equation:

μ = E(x) = ∑ x p(x)

And

The variance of a discrete random variable is given by the following formula:

σ²=∑ (x−μ)² P(x)

And

The square root of the variance, or, in other words, the square root of σ², is the standard deviation of a discrete random variable :

σ = √σ²

An ice-cream store sold 70 sundaes. The ratio of
strawberry to chocolate sundaes was 3:4. How
many strawberry sundacs did they sell

Answers

Answer:

30 strawberry sundaes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know there is a total of 70 sundaes.

3 sundaes will be strawberry.

4 sundaes will be choclate.

When you add 3 and 4 together, you get 7. This is your total ratio.

So 3/7 of the sundaes are strawberry.

And 4/7 of sundaes are choclate.

We know there is a total of 70 sundaes.

The total ratio we figured out is 7.

If the total sundaes is 70, and the total ration is 7. Then the total sundaes is 10 times bigger than the ratio.

This means we need to multiply the 3 strawberry sundaes and 4 choclate sundaes by 10.

3*10=30

4*10=40

So there are 30 strawberry sundaes and 40 choclate sundaes.

We need to find the strawberry sundae amount, so the answer is 30.

V(cone) = πr²h ÷ 3

V(cyl) = πx²y

V(cone) = π(1/2x)²y which simplifies to be πx²y ÷ 4

πx²y = πx²y ÷ 4

Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each salesman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900.

Verbally describe what each ordered pair in the first row of your table (when s = 0) means in terms of the situation. Use complete sentences in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

12 sales

Let x represent the number of sales each man had.

For Salesman A, he earns $65 per sale; this is 65x.

For Salesman B, he earns $40 per sale; this is 40x.  We also add to this his weekly salary of $300; this gives us 40x+300.

Since their pay was equal, set the two expressions equal:

65x = 40x+300

Subtract 40x from each side:

65x-40x = 40x+300-40x

25x = 300

Divide both sides by 25:

25x/25 = 300/25

x = 12
