Philip's rectangular deck is 5 yards wide. The ratio of the width to the length is 4 to 5. What is the approximate length of Philip's deck in feet? Hint: 1 yard = 3 feet.

18.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

we find the length of Philip's rectangular deck in yards

The ratio of the width to the length is 4 to 5.

Philip's rectangular deck is 5 yards wide.

Hence,

Hence:

4/5 = 5/x

Cross Multiply

4x = 5 × 5

4x = 25

x = 25/4

x = 6.25 yards

The length of Philip's field = 6.25 yards

Hint: 1 yard = 3 feet.

Converting the yard to feet

1 yard = 3 feet

6.25 yards = x

Cross Multiply

x = 6.25 × 3 feet

x = 18.75 feet

Therefore, the length of Philip's field in feet = 18.75 feet

=====================================

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
