Answer:

7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

All the items being grilled collectively equal 1.

Each item represents a fractional portion of 1.

Combine 3/8 and 1/3, then subtract that sum from 1.

3/8 + 1/3 = 9/24 + 8/24 = 17/24

This means that veggie burgers and corn contribute to 17/24 of the total.

To determine the fraction accounted for by mushrooms, we take 1 and subtract 17/24.

1 - 17/24 = 24/24 - 17/24 = 7/24.

Final answer: 7/24

Assume that a study of 500 randomly selected airplane routes showed that 482 arrived on time. Select the correct interpretation
babunello [3635]

Answer: C. Significant at 0.036

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total samples selected Ns= 500

Airplanes that arrived on time Na = 482.

Airplanes that arrived late Nl = 500 - 482 = 18

Calculating the probability of an airplane arriving late:

P(L) = Nl/Ns

P(L) = 18/500

P(L) = 0.036

An event is deemed significant if its probability is equal to or less than 0.05.

As P(L) < 0.05

P(L) = Significant at 0.036

Jerome is a co-owner of a small company and received 1\3 of the companies?profits this year. What were the company?s overall pro
Inessa [3907]
Jerome's share of the total profit amounts to one-third. To determine the overall profit of the company, multiply his profit by 3.
If he earned $150,000, the calculation would be:
150,000 × 3 = $450,000

So, the total profit is $450,000.

The dot simply represents multiplication.

Henry needs 2 pints of red paint and 3 pints of yellow paint to get a specific shade of orange. If he uses 9 pints of yellow pai
Leona [4166]

Answer:

In total, Henry requires 15 pints of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry starts with 2 pints of red and 3 pints of yellow to achieve a certain color, but he has already used 9 pints of yellow paint. Thus, this is represented by:

3 x 3 = 9 (yellow)

Since whatever is done on one side must also be applied to the other, we calculate the red paint:

2 x 3 = 6 (red)

Now we consolidate the amounts:

9 + 6 = 15. (Total red and yellow paint)

This leads to the conclusion that 15 pints are needed.
