Manuel bought a 3/5 of a pound of clay for the students in his pottery class. He then divided the clay into 6 equal pieces for his students to use for making vases and pots. How much did each piece weigh?
Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Each piece weighed 1/10 of a pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3/5 of a pound and we want to divide it by 6 equal pieces for each student. 6 equal pieces is the same as 6/1.

In order to divide 3/5 by 6/1 we need to invert the 6/1 and multiply. So, it becomes 3/5 x 1/6. First, we multiply the numerators: 3x1=3 then we multiply the denominators: 5x6=30. The result is 3/30, which can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3. 3/3=1 and 30/3=10. So, the result is 1/10.

QUESTION: find the perimeter

Answers

Answer:

4g + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

Length = 0.7g + 2

Width = 1.3g

Plug in the values into the equation

Perimeter = 2(0.7g + 2 + 1.3g)

Perimeter = 2(0.7g + 1.3g + 2)

Perimeter = 2(2g + 2)

= 2*2g + 2*2

Perimeter = 4g + 4

The weight of oranges growing in an orchard is normally distributed with a mean weight of 6.5 oz. and a standard deviation of 1.5 oz. Using the empirical rule, determine what interval would represent weights of the middle 99.7% of all oranges from this orchard.

Answers

Add 3 standard deviations above and below the mean to get the range in which 99.7% of the data in a normal distribution will fall
6.5 + 4.5 = 11
6.5 - 4.5 = 2

SAT QUESTION!!!


Jayden has been reading a 275-page book for English class. On average, he has read about 10 pages in 15 minutes. With a deadline looming, Jayden realizes that he won't finish in time unless he skims through the rest of the book. If he skims the book, he can cover 15 pages in 10 minutes. If it takes Jayden 5 hours and 50 minutes to finish the book (reading and skimming combined), how many pages did Jayden have to skim through?

WITH STEPSSS

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pages that were skimmed through.

Time taken to skim through = 10 * (x/15) = 2/3 x min.

Time taken to read through = 15 * [(275-x)/10] = 1.5(275-x) min.

We have 2/3 x + 1.5(275-x) = 350.

Therefore 412.5 - 5/6 x = 350 and x = 75.

4x+y=9,3x-2y=4

4x+y=9

4x=-y+9

x=\frac{1}{4}\left(-y+9\right)

x=-\frac{1}{4}y+\frac{9}{4}
