18

18, which is one-half the original price. What was the original price of the shirt?

Solution:

Step 1. Read the problem. Make sure you understand all the words and ideas. You may need to read the problem two or more times. If there are words you don’t understand, look them up in a dictionary or on the Internet.

In this problem, do you understand what is being discussed? Do you understand every word?

Step 2. Identify what you are looking for. It’s hard to find something if you are not sure what it is! Read the problem again and look for words that tell you what you are looking for!

In this problem, the words “what was the original price of the shirt” tell you what you are looking for: the original price of the shirt.

Step 3. Name what you are looking for. Choose a variable to represent that quantity. You can use any letter for the variable, but it may help to choose one that helps you remember what it represents.

Let

p

=

p= the original price of the shirt

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 4ft more than twice the length of the shorter leg. The length of the hypotenuse is 6ft more than twice the length of the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

a. Find the length of the shorter side
b. Find the length of the longer side
c. Find the length of the hypotenuse
d. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

Answers

Answer: Shorter side = 10 feet

Longer side = 24 feet

Hypotenuse = 26 feet

The side lengths of the triangle are 10ft, 24ft and 26ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the shorter leg be x.

The length of the longer leg of a right triangle is 4ft more than twice the length of the shorter leg. This will be: = 2x + 4

The length of the hypotenuse is 6ft more than twice the length of the shorter leg. This will be: = 2x + 6

Note that the square of the hypothenuse will be equal to the square of the other two sides. This will be:

x² + (2x + 4)² = (2x + 6)²

x² + (2x + 4)(2x + 4) = (2x + 6)(2x + 6)

x² + 4x² + 8x + 8x + 16 = 4x² + 12x + 12x + 36

x² + 4x² + 16x + 16 = 4x² + 24x + 36

5x² + 16x + 16 = 4x² + 24x + 36

Collect like terms

5x² - 4x² + 16x - 24x + 16 - 36 = 0

x² - 8x - 20 = 0

x² - 10x + 2x - 20 = 0

x(x - 10) + 2(x - 10) = 0

Therefore, x - 10 = 0

x = 10

a. length of the shorter side = 10ft

b. Length of the longer side = 2x + 4 = 2(10) + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24ft

c. length of the hypotenuse = 2x + 6 = 2(10) + 6 = 20 + 6 = 26ft

d. The side lengths of the triangle are 10ft, 24ft and 26ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

Joel purchased 5 7/9 lb of grapes, while Jim purchased 2 1/2 lb.

What we need to find out:

How many more pounds of grapes does Joel have than Jim.

What we need to do:

Subtract 2 1/2 from 5 7/9.

But first, we need a common denominator.

2 and 9 don't have any common factors so multiply normally.

2 * 9 = 18

5 7/9 becomes 5 14/18, and 2 1/2 becomes 2 9/18.

Now to subtract.

(5 - 2) + ((14-9)/18)

3 + ((14-9)/18

3 + 5/18

Joel has 3 5/18 more pounds of grapes than Jim, so the answer is C.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

5 7/9 - 2 1/2 = 5 14/18 - 2 9/18 = 3 5/18

The manager of a night club in Boston stated that 85% of the customers are between the ages of 21 and 27 years. If the age of customers is normally distributed with a mean of 24 years, calculate its standard deviation.

Answers

Answer:

The standard deviation of the age of the customers was of 2.08 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

[tex]\mu = 24[/tex]

85% of the customers are between the ages of 21 and 27 years.

Since the normal distribution is symmetric, this means, for example, that 27 is the 50 + (85/2) = 92.5th percentile, that is, when [tex]X = 27[/tex], Z has a pvalue of 0.925. So when [tex]X = 27, Z = 1.44[/tex]. We use this to find [tex]\sigma[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.44 = \frac{27 - 24}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.44\sigma = 3[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = \frac{3}{1.44}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma = 2.08[/tex]

The standard deviation of the age of the customers was of 2.08 years.

The product of two consecutive numbers is 1295, find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

36.49 and 35.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive number be x-1 and x

If their product is 1295, then;

x(x-1) = 1295

x² - x = 1295

x²-x - 1295 = 0

x = 1±√(-1)²-4(-1295)/2

x = 1±√1+5180/2

x = 1±71.98/2

x = 72.98/2

x = 36.49

x - 1 = 35.49

Hence the two numbers are 36.49 and 35.49

Brayden has 342 marbles in bags. If there are 9 marbles in each bag, how many bags of marbles does Brayden have If Brayden gives away 15 of his bags of marbles, how many bags does he have left

Answers

Brayden has 38 bags.
After giving away 15 bags of marbles, Brayden is left with 23 bags.

To find out how many bags he has we do 342 divided by 9 which is 38.

To find out how many marbles are in 15 bags we do 15 x 9 which is 135.
We then do 342 - 135 to find out how many marbles he has left which is 207 and divide 207 by 9 to convert that into bags, which is 23.

What additional information is obtained by measuring on an interval scale compared to an ordinal scale?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information.

An ordinal scale measurement does not give room to know the actual difference that coexists between the two measurements in a variable but in an interval scale of measurement, it is possible to deduce the actual difference that coexists between the two measurements in a variable.

Similarly, the ordinal scale only shows the rank of observations as per size and magnitude but in case of interval scale, it consists of classes with equal size, differentiated into direction and magnitude.

Read the excerpt below and then answer the question that follows:The Book of DragonsChapter III The Deliverers of Their Country, an excerptBy E. NesbitIt all began with Effie's getting something in her eye. It hurt very much indeed, and it felt something like a red-hot sparkonly it seemed to have legs as well, and wings like a fly. Effie rubbed and criednot real crying, but the kind your eye does all by itself without your being miserable inside your mindand then she went to her father to have the thing in her eye taken out. Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes.When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Effie had often got things in her eye before, and her father had always seemed to think it was naturalrather tiresome and naughty perhaps, but still natural. He had never before thought it curious.Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out." People always say this when they have had something in their eyes."Oh, yesit's out," said the doctor. "Here it is, on the brush. This is very interesting."Effie had never heard her father say that about anything that she had any share in. She said: "What?"The doctor carried the brush very carefully across the room, and held the point of it under his microscopethen he twisted the brass screws of the microscope, and looked through the top with one eye."Dear me," he said. "Dear, dear me! Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings." The creature under his eye wriggled a little in the castor oil, and he went on: "Yes; a bat-like wing. A new specimen, undoubtedly. Effie, run round to the professor and ask him to be kind enough to step in for a few minutes.""You might give me sixpence, Daddy," said Effie, "because I did bring you the new specimen. I took great care of it inside my eye, and my eye does hurt."The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoonspread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief."It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch longwith scales and wings.So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings."Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadaysand at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.Why does the author continue to have the creatures appear in a variety of places in this story?
