Every week, Mr. Kirkson uses 3/16 gallon of water to water every 1/3 square foot of his garden.How many gallons of water does Mr. Kirkson use per square foot to water his garden each week?

fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

He uses 3/16 gal for 1/3 square foot.

1/3 square foot is 1/3 of 1 square foot.

1 square foot is 3 times as much area as 1/3 square foot, so he must use 3 times as much water. We need to multiply 3 * 3/16.

3 * 3/16 = 3/1 * 3/16 = 9/16

Answer: He uses 9/16 gallon.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!Which sets of side lengths represent Pythagorean triples? Check all that apply.

Answers

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

For the Pythagorean triples, the square of largest number must be equal to the sum of squares of remaining two numbers.

1,2,5

5²=25

1²+2²=5

25≠5

Hence, it is not a Pythagorean triple.

6,8,14

14²=196

6²+8²=100

100≠196

Hence, it is not a Pythagorean triple.

8,15,17

17²=289

8²+15²=289

Hence, it is a Pythagorean triple

10,24,26

26²=676

10²+24²=676

Hence, it is Pythagorean triple

15,20,30

30²=900

15²+20²=625

900≠625

Hence, it is not a Pythagorean triple

28,45,53

53²=2809

28²+45²=2809

Hence, it is a Pythagorean triple

8,15,17 is one, 10,24,26 is one, and 28,45,53 is one

(3x+11) + (10x-12)/2 = 45

Answers

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+11=10x-12

We move all terms to the left:

3x+11-(10x-12)=0

We get rid of parentheses

3x-10x+12+11=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-7x+23=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

-7x=-23

x=-23/-7

x=3+2/7

To the nearest cent what is $89.95 DVD player 5% discount

Answers

89.95 x 0.05 (5%)
=4.4975

The final cost of the DVD player is 89.95-4.4975
=85.4525
≈ $85.45

Final answer:

5% of $89.95 is $4.4975. After subtracting this discount from the original price, the DVD player costs $85.4525. Rounded to the nearest cent, the final price is $85.45.

Explanation:

To find the cost of the $89.95 DVD player after a 5% discount, we need to first figure out how much 5% of $89.95 is. This is done by multiplying $89.95 by 0.05 (which is the decimal equivalent of 5%).

So, $89.95 * 0.05 = $4.4975. This is the amount of the discount.

Now, to find the final price after the discount, we subtract the discount from the original price. Therefore, $89.95 - $4.4975 = $85.4525.

However, we need to round this to the nearest cent, which makes it $85.45.

Some of the children at a school arrive by car.30% of the children at the school are boys
60% of the boys at the school arrive by car
80% of the girls at the school arrive by car
what is the probability that a child chosen at random from the school arrives by car? give your answer as a decimal

Answers

Answer:

  • 74%

Explanation:

You can build a two-way relative frequency table to represent the data:

These are the columns and rows:

               Car         No car      Total

Boys

Girl

Total

Fill the table

  • 30% of the children at the school are boys

             Car         No car      Total

Boys                                       30%

Girl

Total

  • 60% of the boys at the school arrive by car

That is 60% of 30% = 0.6 × 30% = 18%

             Car         No car      Total

Boys      18%                         30%

Girls

Total

By difference you can fill the cell of Boy and No car: 30% - 18% = 12%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl

Total

Also, you know that the grand total is 100%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl

Total                                     100%

By difference you fill the total of Girls: 100% - 30% = 70%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl                                         70%

Total                                     100%

  • 80% of the girls at the school arrive by car

That is 80% of  70% = 0.8 × 70% = 56%

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl       56%                         70%

Total                                     100%

Now you can finish filling in the whole table calculating the differences:

             Car         No car      Total

Boy       18%           12%         30%

Girl        56%         14%         70%

Total     74%          26%      100%

Having the table completed you can find any relevant probability.

The probability that a child chosen at random from the school arrives by car is the total of the column Car: 74%.

That is because that column represents the percent of boys and girls that that  arrive by car: 18% of the boys, 56% of the girls, and 74% of all the the children.
