Answer:

The result to your inquiry is 2 7/24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Hank's cows yield = 4 3/4 and 4 1/8

Debra's cows yield = 5 1/2 and 5 2/3

Process:

1.- Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:

For Hank: (16 + 3)/4 = 19/4 and (32 + 1)/8 = 33/8.

For Debra: (10 + 1)/2 = 11/2 and (15 + 2)/3 = 17/3.

2.- Add Hank's and Debra's milk quantities:

Hank: 19/4 + 33/8 = 38/8 + 33/8 = 71/8.

Debra: 11/2 + 17/3 = 33/6 + 34/6 = 67/6.

3.- Subtract Hank's total from Debra's total:

67/6 - 71/8 = (268 - 213)/24.

Thus, it simplifies to 55/24.

- Convert back to a mixed number:

2

24 55

7

Where 55/24 equals 2 7/24.

4.- Conclusion:

Debra produced 2 7/24 more milk than Hank.

Nik needs to estimate how many books will fit in a bin. Each book is 1 ft tall, 0.5 ft wide, and 0.1 ft thick. The bin is 5 feet
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

600 books

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the bin are

5 by 2 by 3

The volume of the bin is found by multiplying these three dimensions.

Volume of Bin = 5 * 2 * 3 = 30 cubic feet

To find the volume of each book, we use the same method. The dimensions of one book are:

1 by 0.5 by 0.1

Volume of 1 book = 1 * 0.5 * 0.1 = 0.05 cubic feet

The total number of books fitting into the bin is calculated by:

30/0.05 = 600 books

PIT_PIT [12445]

Response:

Unusual

To explain step-by-step:

A tobacco company asserts that the nicotine content in its cigarettes behaves as a random variable with a mean of 2.2 mg and a standard deviation of.3 mg.

This means the population parameters are

\mu =2.2 \\s = 0.3

The likelihood that the sample average would equal or exceed 3.1

=P(X\geq 3.1)\\=P(Z\geq \frac{3.1-2.2}{\frac{0.3}{\sqrt{100} } } )\\=P(Z\geq 30)\\

equals 0.0000

AnnZ [12381]
A function and its inverse, when graphed, exhibit symmetry about the line y = x. Without viewing your graphs, I can't specify if g or h is the inverse. Identify the function that reflects f over the diagonal line y = x, which passes through the origin.
