A man left 1⁄2 of his property to his wife 1/3 of the remainder to his eldest
son and the rest to be divided equally among his five younger children,
each of whom got p60,000. How much did his wife get?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: p800,000

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2         to wife

1/3         to eldest son, and

Rest(x)   to 5 youngest children

(1/2) + (1/3) + x = 1  [The sum of the shares will equal 1 estate]

(3/6) + (2/6) + x = 1

(5/6) + x = 1

x = (1/6); to be divided among the 5 youngest children

We find that each young child receives p60,000.  That group of five received 5*(60,000) = p300,000, which represents (1/6) of the total estate (Estate).

We can write:    (1/6)*(Estate) = p300,000

Estate = p1,800,000

The wife hauled in 1/2 of this, so she received p800,000.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

C(x) = 1550 - 50x

With C(x) the cash you have every month (x).

Now we solve:

Answers

Answer:

Screenshot 1 = Option B (5x-1)²

Screenshot 2 = (x+9)(x+9)

Screenshot 3 = Option 3 100x²-20x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

Screenshot 1 -

(5x-1)² = (5x-1)(5x-1)

5x · 5x = 25x²

5x · -1 = -5x

5x · -1 = -5x

(-1) · (-1) = 1

25x²- 5x- 5x + 1 = 25x² - 10x + 1

Screenshot 2 -

(x+9)(x+9)

x · x = x²

x · 9 = 9x

x · 9 = 9x

9 · 9 = 81

x² + 9x + 9x + 81 = x² + 18x + 81

Screenshot 3 -

100x²-20x+1

(10x-1)(10x-1)

10x · 10x = 100x²

10x · (-1) = -10x

10x · (-1) = -10x

(-1) · (-1) = 1

100x² - 10x - 10x + 1 = 100x² - 20x +1

Use the information in the diagram to determine the height of the tree. The diagram is not to scale.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the scenario creates 2 similar triangles :

one main triangle with the house height the double floor distance and the double line of sight from the left point on the floor to the top of the house.

and the other triangle is the height of the tree, the single floor (from the left point to the tree) distance, and the single line of sight from the left point on the floor to the top of the tree.

similar triangles means : all angles are the same. and the side lengths of one triangle correlate to the corresponding side lengths in the other triangle by the same multiplication factor.

and that means that the floor distances of small and large triangle have the same ratio, as the view of line distance AND the height sizes.

we see : large triangle side / small triangle side = 2/1 = 2

and therefore, the same factor (2) applies to the heights.

so,

height of house / height of tree = 2

therefore,

height of tree = height of house / 2 = 150/2 = 75 ft

077%

Answers

The percentage of the people that were satisfied with the bus company's  performance is: B. 38.5%

Given the following data:

Population = 200 peopleSatisfied people = 77 people

To determine the percentage of the people that were satisfied with the bus company's  performance:

In this exercise, you're required to find the number of the people that were satisfied with the bus company's  performance as a percentage of the total population in this survey.

Thus, we would use this formula:

[tex]Percentage = \frac{Satisfied\;people}{Population} \times 100[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]Percentage = \frac{77}{200} \times 100\\\\Percentage = \frac{77}{2}[/tex]

A cyclist travels 4 miles in 20 minutes and then a further 6 miles in 30 minutes without stopping. Calculate the cyclist's average speed in mph.​

Answers

Answer:

24mph

Step-by-step explanation:

convert 20 mins and 30 mins to hrs by dividing by 60

4/(20/60)=12

6/(30/60)=12

12+12=24

Cyclist's average speed is 12 mph.

What is Speed?

Speed is calculated as the ratio of the distance travelled by an object to the time taken to cover the distance.

It can also be defined as the rate of change of position of anything in any direction.

Speed is a scalar quantity as it does not have direction.

Total distance travelled by the cyclist = 4 miles + 6 miles

                                        = 10 miles

Total time taken by the cyclist = 20 minutes + 30 minutes

                                                  = 50 minutes

We need the average speed in mph or miles per hour.

We know that,

60 minutes = 1 hour

1 minute = 1/60 hour

50 minutes = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] × 50 hour

                   = [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] hour

Average Speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken

                          = 10 miles / (5/6) hour

                          = 10 × [tex]\frac{6}{5}[/tex]

                          = 12 miles per hour

Hence the average speed of the cyclist is 12 miles per hour.

triangle: 3x-1,4x+1,3x
perimeter:70cm
area:A2
find A

Answers

Answer:

A = 210 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the triangle = the sum of the sides of the triangle.

70 = (3x - 1) + (4x + 1) + (3x)

70 = 10x  

7 = x     The length of the sides of the triangle are 3x - 1 = 20;  4x + 1 = 29 and                

             3x = 21.

 Looking at the given information, this triangle is a special type of triangle because the area of a triangle is Area = 1/2 bh and you do not know which side is the base and height of the triangle.

Trying a² + b² = c² to see if it is a right triangle.   20² + 21² = 29 ² ; yes it is a right triangle and now we know that the base and height is 20 and 21.   The longest side is the hypotenuse in a right triangle

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2 (20)(21)

A = 10 · 21

A = 210 cm²

A CBS News/New York Times opinion poll asked 1,190 adults whether they would prefer balancing the federal budget over cutting taxes; 59% of those asked said "yes." Suppose that in fact 62% of all adults favor balancing the budget over cutting taxes. If this poll was not biased, what is the probability you would get p^=0.59 or less?

Answers

Using the normal distribution and the central limit theorem, it is found that there is a 0.0166 = 1.66% probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less.

In a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

It 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, which is the percentile of X. By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of sampling proportions of a proportion p in a sample of size n has mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard error [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}[/tex]

In this problem:

1,190 adults were asked, hence [tex]n = 1190[/tex]In fact 62% of all adults favor balancing the budget over cutting taxes, hence [tex]p = 0.62[/tex].

The mean and the standard error are given by:

[tex]\mu = p = 0.62[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.62(0.38)}{1190}} = 0.0141[/tex]

The probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less is the p-value of Z when X = 0.59, hence:

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{0.59 - 0.62}{0.0141}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.13[/tex]

[tex]Z = -2.13[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0166.

0.0166 = 1.66% probability of a sample proportion of 0.59 or less.

Half of the marbles in a box are red, a third are white, and the other 6 are blue. Find the probability of picking a marble that is not blue

Answers

The probability of picking a marble that is not blue is 5/6

The proportions of the balls are given as:

[tex]Red = \frac 12[/tex]

[tex]White = \frac 13[/tex]

[tex]Blue = 6[/tex]

The probability of picking a ball that is not blue is:

[tex]P(Not\ Blue) = P(Red) + P(White)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(Not\ Blue) = \frac 12 + \frac 13[/tex]

Rewrite the fractions as equivalent fractions

[tex]P(Not\ Blue) = \frac 36 + \frac 26[/tex]

Take LCM

[tex]P(Not\ Blue) = \frac {3 + 2}6\\[/tex]
