Marlene is solving a number puzzle involving three rational numbers a, b, and c. Here are her clues:

1 answer:

5 0

A/c = 8.....a = 8c
a * c = 2 ...a = 2/c
a/b = -16 ...a = -16b
a * b = -1....
b/c = -0.5

2/c = 8c
2 = 8c^2
1/4 = c^2
sqrt 1/4 = c
0.5 (or 1/2) = c <===

a * c = 2
0.5a = 2
a = 2/0.5
a = 4 <===

a = -16b
4 = -16b
4/-16 = b
-1/4 (or - 0.25) = b <===

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

three is a factor of 12 because you can multiply it by 4 and you get 12 (a factor is a number you can multiply by another to give you a product)

Write the fraction of 12/15 in its simple form

Ugo [173]

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer, find the GCF (greatest common factor) of the numerator and the denominator. Once you have the GCF, divide the 12 and 15 by that number. Here, the GCF is 3.

Can any one help me with this problem

katrin [286]

Answer:

37.74 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

An angle and its opposite side are known

Sin (of the angle)= opposite/ hypotenuse

The hypotenuse is equal to the length of the ladder, therefore solve the hypotenuse

Sin (32)= 20/ hypotenuse

hypotenuse= 20/ Sin (32)

Sin (32)=0.5299

hypotenuse= 20/ 0.5299

37.74 ft

Hopefully this helps :)

The following data gives the speeds (in mph), as measured by radar, of 10 cars traveling north on I-15. 76 72 80 68 76 74 71 78

____ [38]

Answer:

71.123 mph ≤ μ ≤ 77.277 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that the speed of all cars traveling on this highway have a normal distribution and we can only know the mean and the standard deviation of the sample, the confidence interval for the mean is calculated as:

$m-t_{a/2,n-1}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ ≤ μ ≤ $m+t_{a/2,n-1}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$

Where m is the mean of the sample, s is the standard deviation of the sample, n is the size of the sample, μ is the mean speed of all cars, and $t_{a/2,n-1}$ is the number for t-student distribution where a/2 is the amount of area in one tail and n-1 are the degrees of freedom.

the mean and the standard deviation of the sample are equal to 74.2 and 5.3083 respectively, the size of the sample is 10, the distribution t- student has 9 degrees of freedom and the value of a is 10%.

So, if we replace m by 74.2, s by 5.3083, n by 10 and $t_{0.05,9}$ by 1.8331, we get that the 90% confidence interval for the mean speed is:
