We consider all workers as either full-time or part-time. 36 = 24 + 12 If there are 24 or fewer full-time workers, there must be at least 12 part-time workers. (This conclusion is based on the understanding of sums.) You can formulate the inequality in two steps. First, present and resolve an equation for full-time workers in relation to part-time workers. Then, apply the specified limit on full-time workers. This results in an inequality that can be solved for part-time workers. Let f and p represent full-time and part-time positions, respectively. f + p = 36... given f = 36 - p... subtract p to express f in terms of p. f ≤ 24......... given (36 - p) ≤ 24.... substitute for f. This gives your inequality in terms of p. 36 - 24 ≤ p.... rearranging gives p ≥ 12........ this is the solution to the inequality

Marge Torelli is a pilot. Her annual group insurance costs $4,400 and her company pays 80% of the cost. How much does Marge pay
PIT_PIT [9117]
The insurance provider covers 80% of the $4,400 expense:
0.8*4400 = $3520

Consequently, Marge's payment amounts to 4400 - 3520 = $880

However, noting that $4400 is the total for annual group insurance, to determine her monthly payment, we divide her yearly cost by 12:
880/12 = $73.33 (rounded to two decimal places)

do you agree that the equation (x-4)²=9 can be solved both by factoring and extracting square roots? ​
Zina [9171]

Given parameters:

  Equation:

          (x-4)²=9

Problem: Solve the equation by both factoring and extracting the square root.

Solution:

    Starting equation:

                  (x-4)²=9

         Subtracting 9 from both sides brings us to zero;

                (x-4)² - 9 = 0

                (x -4)² - 3² = 0

  This fits the concept of the difference of squares;

          x² - y² = (x + y)(x-y)

                     

Let x  = x-4 and y = -3

  Then input and solve;

              (x - 4 -3)(x - 4 -(-3)) = 0

              (x - 7)(x - 1) = 0

S thus,

             x - 7 = 0 or x-1 = 0

             x = 7 or 1

<pBy extracting the square roots;

          (x-4)² = 9

         √(x-4)² = √9

              x - 4 = 3

              x  = 4 + 3 = 7; however, this is not the sole solution

Thus, direct extraction of the square root is not the method for complete solutions.

Decimal 0.003 is 1/10 of
zzz [9080]
To determine the result of multiplying 0.003 by 10, you will simply multiply as such. A straightforward method is to shift the decimal point one place to the right (it would shift two places for multiplying by 100, and three for 1000, etc.). The same rule applies when dividing; just ensure to move left instead.

Hence, the result is 0.03.

Three people toss a fair coin and the odd one pays for coffee. if the coins all turn up the same, they are tossed again. find th
lawyer [9240]

In the absence of a specific question posed, below are the potential inquiries along with their respective answers:

P(fewer than 4 tosses)
= P(one toss) + P(two tosses) + P(three tosses)
= (3/4) + (3/4)(1/4) + (3/4)(1/4)^2
= 0.984375


Expected value
= 1 / p
= 1 / (3/4)
= 4 / 3

Variance
= (1 - p) / p^2
= (1 - (3/4)) / (3/4)^2
= (1/4) / (9/16)
= 4 / 9

Standard deviation
= sqrt(Variance)
= sqrt(4 / 9)
= 2 / 3
