Let the total expenditure be x. Dita spent 35% of it, which amounts to 0.35x. In comparison, Benton spent 20% of x, resulting in 0.2x. We know that Benton spent $12 more than Claire, setting up the equation: amount spent by Dita = amount spent by Claire + 12. Solving for x gives us 80, meaning the total expenditure was $80. Consequently, Benton’s expenses equal 0.2 times $80, leading to an amount of $16.

lawyer [12517]

This can be approached using trigonometry. The adjacent side corresponds to the length of the shadow, while the unknown represents the opposite side, which is Chad's height.

Tan (a) = opposite / adjacent

Opposite = tan(23) * 14.3 ft

Thus, the opposite side equals 6.1 ft, which is Chad's height

Zina [12379]

Response:

0.5; 0.34458

Detailed explanation:

Given the following:

Mean (m) = 28

Standard deviation, s = 5

To calculate the Z-score:

Z = (x - m) / s

1.) P(x > 28)

Z = (28 - 28) / 5

Z = 0

P(Z > 0) = 0.5 (Z probability calculator)

2.) P(x < 26)

Z = (26 - 28) / 5

Z = -0.4

P(Z > -0.4) = 0.34458 (Z probability calculator)

A recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. The recipe makes 4 servings. How man
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

See explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flour:

1 1/4 cups equals 5/4 cups.

5/4 divided by 4 yields 5/4 times 1/4.

= 5/16 cups of flour for each serving.

Sugar (Brown):

1/3 cup divided by 4 gives 1/3 times 1/4.

= 1/12 cups of brown sugar per serving.

Sugar (White):

3/4 divided by 4 results in 3/16 cups per serving.

For 6 servings:

Flour: 5/16 times 6 equals 1 7/8 cups.

Sugar (Brown): 1/12 times 6 results in 1/2 cup.

Sugar (White): 3/16 times 6 equals 1 1/8 cups.
