Given:
Initial dog treat: 8 inches in length, 3.2 inches in width.
Miniature dog treat: 3 inches long,? wide

We will apply cross multiplication to find the proportionality:

Relating length and width.
Original treat: 8/3.2
Miniature treat: 3/x

8/3.2 = 3/x

Cross multiply:
8 * x = 3.2 * 3
8x = 9.6

Calculate x
x = 9.6/8
x = 1.2

The width of the miniature dog treat measures 1.2 inches.

To verify:
original treat: 8/3.2 = 2.5
miniature treat: 3/1.2 = 2.5
or:
8/3.2 = 3/1.2
8 * 1.2 = 3.2 * 3
9.6 = 9.6

The life expectancy of a particular brand of tire is normally distributed with a mean of 40,000 and a standard deviation of 5,00
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer: the likelihood of a randomly selected tire lasting exactly 47,500 miles is 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the expected lifespan of this tire brand follows a normal distribution, we will use the normal distribution formula:

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = lifespan of the tire in miles.

µ = mean

σ = standard deviation

The given figures include,

µ = 40000 miles

σ = 5000 miles

The probability that a tire will last precisely 47,500 miles

P(x = 47500)

For x = 47500,

z = (40000 - 47500) / 5000 = -1.5

According to the standard normal distribution table, the probability associated with this z score is 0.067

The University of Central Florida's cheerleading team has eighteen males and twenty-one females. If h represents the height of a
Leona [12618]

Answer:

The range of cheerleaders' heights lies within the interval [58, 74)

It includes all real numbers from 58 inches and above, but below 74 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

260 \leq 4h+28

Separate the combined inequality into two distinct inequalities

260 \leq 4h+28 -----> inequality A

4h+28 -----> inequality B

Solve inequality A

260 \leq 4h+28

Subtract 28 from both sides

232 \leq 4h

Split by 4 on both sides

58 \leq h

Reformulate

h \geq 58\ in

Address inequality B

4h+28

Subtract 28 from both sides

4h

Split by 4 on both sides

h

consequently

The height range of the cheerleaders is the interval [58, 74)

It consists of every real number starting from 58 inches and less than 74 inches

The parent function f(x) = log3x has been transformed by reflecting it over the x-axis, stretching it vertically by a factor of
babunello [11817]
The third option is correct. Step-by-step explanation: Various transformations apply to a function f(x). If a transformation is applied downward by 'k' units, the function shifts down; if upward, it rises 'k' units. Additionally, if scaled vertically by a factor of 'b', it will stretch; if reflected over the x-axis, the operation is indicated. Thus, since the parent function has undergone reflection over the x-axis, a vertical stretch by a factor of 2, and a downward shift of three units, we can derive that the transformed function is presented.
