Correct answers to the statement that the price increased by 1/2 are: (B) The price is 150% of the price before and (E) The price is now 1.5 of what it was before. All other options either imply the price doubled, decreased, or was halved, which are not equivalent to an increase by half.
When it is stated that the price increased by 1/2, it means that the new price is the original price plus half of the original price. This is equivalent to multiplying the original price by 1.5. Let's evaluate the provided options:
(A) The price doubled - This would mean the new price is twice the original price, or the original price multiplied by 2, which is incorrect.(B) The price is 150% of the price before - This is correct because 150% implies the original price plus 50% of the original price, which matches our initial statement.(C) The price was reduced by a quarter - This would mean the new price is 75% of the original price, which is incorrect.(D) The price became a half of what it was before - This means the new price is half the original price, which is incorrect.(E) The price is now 1.5 of what it was before - This is correct, as it directly states that the new price is 1.5 times the original price.(F) The price now is 66 2/3% of what it was before - This would imply a decrease in price, which is incorrect.(G) The price now is 200% of what it was before - This implies the price doubled, which is not the case.(H) The price is 75% of what it was before - This would mean the price decreased, which is incorrect.Therefore, the correct answers to the statement "price increased by 1/2" are (B) The price is 150% of the price before and (E) The price is now 1.5 of what it was before.
The equivalent statements are (B) "The price is 150% of the price before" and (E) "The price is now 1.5 of what it was before".
To determine which statements are equivalent to the statement "price increased by 1/2", let's analyze each option:
(A) The price doubled:
This statement is not equivalent because doubling the price means multiplying it by 2, which is an increase of 100%.
(B) The price is 150% of the price before:
This statement is equivalent. Increasing by 1/2 is equivalent to increasing by 50%, which makes the new price 150% of the original price.
(C) The price was reduced by a quarter:
This statement is not equivalent because reducing by a quarter means subtracting 25%, not adding 50%.
(D) The price became a half of what it was before:
This statement is not equivalent because it implies a decrease to half, whereas the original statement implies an increase by half.
(E) The price is now 1.5 of what it was before:
This statement is equivalent. If the price is increased by 1/2, it becomes 1 + 1/2 = 1.5 times the original price.
(F) The price now is 66 2/3 % of what it was before:
This statement is not equivalent. 66 2/3 % represents a decrease, not an increase.
(G) The price now is 200% of what it was before:
This statement is not equivalent because 200% represents a doubling, not an increase of 1/2.
(H) The price is 75% of what it was before:
This statement is not equivalent because 75% represents a decrease, not an increase.
So, the equivalent statements are (B) and (E).
A boat heads south at 1,200 mph while a steamer heads east at 500 mph. If they started from the same dock and at the same time, when will the distance between them be 1,300 mi?
Answer: After t=1 hour the distance between the boat and the steamer be 1300 mi.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the speed of boat = 1200 mph
the speed of steamer =500 mph
Distance traveled by boat in time "t"=[tex]\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{1200}{t}[/tex]
Distance traveled by steamer in time time "t"=[tex]\frac{500}{t}[/tex]
As boat head south and steamer heads east ∴ they will make a right angle triangle with hypotenuse=shortest distance between them =1300mi(given)
By Pythagoras theorem
[tex](Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2=(Hypotenuse)^2\\\\\Rightarrow(\frac{1200}{t})^2+(\frac{500}{t})^2=(1300)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{1440000}{t^2}+\frac{250000}{t^2}=1690000\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{1690000}{t^2}=1690000\\\\\Rightarrow\ t^2=\frac{1690000}{1690000}=1[/tex]
⇒t=1 hour
Thus, after t= 1 hour the distance between them be 1300 mi.
You want to place a towel bar that is 24 1⁄4 centimeters long in the center of a door that is 70 1⁄3 centimeters wide. How far should you place the bar from each edge of the door?
Answer:
You should place it 23 1/24 centimeters from each edge.
Step-by-step explanation:
The towel bar will be in the center in the door so the space between the edge of the door and each side of the bar is equal in the left and the right of the door. So lets define:
x: distance between edge of door and the towel bar edge.
We see that x is the distance left in both sides of the towel bar from the door so:
x+24 (1/4) +x = 70 (1/3)
2x + 24 (1/4) = 70 (1/3)
2x= 70 (1/3) - 24 (1/4)
To operate the fractions , we need a common denominator that can be obtained simply by multiplying both denominators 4* 3=12
We then subtract the whole numbers and fractions
2x= 70 (4/12) - 24 (3/12) = =( 46 1/12)
x= ( 46 1/12) / 2 = 23 (1/24)

2 out of 10 people have an allergic reaction to a new medicine. What is the probability that exactly 4 out of 10 people given the medicine experience an allergic reaction?
The probability that exactly 4 out of 10 people given the medicine experience an allergic reaction is approximately 0.087 or 8.7%.
To find the probability that exactly 4 out of 10 people experience an allergic reaction to the new medicine, we use the binomial probability formula:
[tex]\[ P(X = k) = \binom{n}{k} \times p^k \times (1 - p)^{n - k} \][/tex]
Where:
( n ) is the number of trials (in this case, 10 people)
( k ) is the number of successes (in this case, 4 people)
( p ) is the probability of success on each trial (in this case, the probability of having an allergic reaction, which is 2 out of 10, or 0.2)
Now let's calculate:
[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = \binom{10}{4} \times 0.2^4 \times (1 - 0.2)^{10 - 4} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = \frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!} \times 0.2^4 \times 0.8^6 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = \frac{10!}{4! \times 6!} \times 0.2^4 \times 0.8^6 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = \frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \times 0.2^4 \times 0.8^6 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = 210 \times 0.2^4 \times 0.8^6 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = 210 \times 0.0016 \times 0.262144 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ P(X = 4) = 0.08704 \][/tex]
So, the probability that exactly 4 out of 10 people given the medicine experience an allergic reaction is approximately 0.087 or 8.7%.

Choose the correct translation for the following statement it is at most ten
△EFG≅△JKL . What is m∠K ?
The two triangles are congruent, so the corresponding angles are the same, K is the mid-late phase of JKL, so K is the same as the mid-late phase of EFG. Therefore K = F = 62°.
What is compromise?
If a geometric shape can be placed on top of another so that all its points coincide, the geometry is said to be congruent or harmonious. >
Now that K is JKL, K will be similar to EFG's mid and late game.
Middle and late phase of EFG = F
M∠F = 62°
Therefore m∠K = m∠F = 62°
So "The two triangles are congruent, so the corresponding angles will be the same. K is at the end of JKL, so K will be the same as the end of EFG. So, K = F = 62°."
The probable question maybe:
In a triangle EFG and LJK, we are given angle G = 53 degree and angle F is 62 degree. △EFG≅△JKL. find the value of m∠K ?

"1. how many ancestors does a node at level n in a binary tree have? provide justification."
In binary tree there are n ancestor at level n.
Proof :
Take P(0): At node level 0, it has no ancestors since this is a roo tnode.
Take P(1): At node level 1, it has one ancestor. The ancestor is the root, its parents which is at level 0.
Take P(K): A node level K it has K ancestors. Its parent is at level K – 1.
Take P(K+1): At node K + 1 level have more than one ancestor than that of node at k level.
Thus there are n ancestor at level n in binary tree.
A node at level n in a binary tree has n ancestors. This is because there are n nodes on the path from the root to the node itself.
In a binary tree, the ancestors of a node are all the nodes that appear on the path from the root of the tree to that node. The level of a node is defined as its distance from the root node, with the root node being at level 0.
To determine the number of ancestors of a node at level n, consider the following:
The node at the root (level 0) has 0 ancestors.A node at level 1 has the root node as its ancestor (1 ancestor).In general, a node at level n has n - 1 nodes on the path from the root to the node.Therefore, a node at level n in a binary tree has n ancestors because it includes all nodes from the root (level 0) to the node itself (excluding the node itself).Hence, the number of ancestors for a node at level n is simply n.

Explain how you can use doubles when multiplying with 4 to find 4x8
Answer:
Here,
4 × 8 = 32
Now,
using the doubles when multiplying with 4
2 × (4 × 4)
= 2 × 16
= 32
Hence,
we use the doubles this way as by doubling the result obtained on multiplying the 4 with 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Here,
4 × 8 = 32
Now,
using the doubles when multiplying with 4
2 × (4 × 4)
