1/4 in : 1 ft

1 ft  ⇒ 1/4 in

12 4/5 ft ⇒ 1/4 x 12 4/5 =  1/4 x 64/5 = 3 1/5 in

Answer: 3 1/5 in

Answer: £648
Question
For a certain manufacturer, only ⅘ of the items produced are not defective.If 2,000 items are manufactured in a month, how many are not defective?
Solution 1
To find the number of non-defective chips, we simply use this equation:
2,000 * 4/5
8000/5
Now you simply divide:
1600
1600 chips aren't defective
Question
An experienced roofer can work twice as fast as her helper. working together, they can shingle a new section of roof in 4 hours. how long would it take the experienced roofer, working alone, to complete the same job?
Solution 1
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: amount of time the assistant works
 Y: amount of time the experienced person works
 We then have the following system of equations:
 x + y = 4
 y = (1/2) x
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 8/3
 y = 4/3
 Answer:
 
It would take the roofer, working alone, to complete the same job about:
 
y = 4/3 hours
Question
A random sample of 31 charge sales showed a sample standard deviation of $50. a 90% confidence interval estimate of the population standard deviation is
Solution 1
The 100(1-\alpha)\% confidence interval of a standard deviation is given by:

 \sqrt{ \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1- \frac{\alpha}{2} } }} \leq\sigma\leq\sqrt{ \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\frac{\alpha}{2} } }}

Given a sample size of 31 charge sales, the degree of freedom is 30 and for 90% confidence interval, 

\chi^2_{1- \frac{\alpha}{2} }=43.773 \\  \\ \chi^2_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }=18.493

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval for the standard deviation is given by

\sqrt{ \frac{(31-1)50^2}{43.773 }} \leq\sigma\leq\sqrt{ \frac{(31-1)50^2}{18.493 }} \\  \\ \Rightarrow\sqrt{ \frac{(30)2500}{43.773 }} \leq\sigma\leq\sqrt{ \frac{(30)2500}{18.493 }} \\  \\ \Rightarrow\sqrt{ \frac{75000}{43.773 }} \leq\sigma\leq\sqrt{ \frac{75000}{18.493 }} \\  \\ \Rightarrow \sqrt{1713.38} \leq\sigma\leq \sqrt{4055.59}  \\  \\ \Rightarrow41.4\leq\sigma\leq63.7
Question
A map has the scale 2 centimeters = 1 kilometer. on a map, the area of a forest preserve is 3.8 square centimeters. what is the area of the actual forest preserve
Solution 1
We know that
the scale is 2 cm/1 km
on a map, the area of a forest preserve is 3.8 cm²
assuming it has a square shape
the length side of the square is 
√3.8 cm
so
if 2 cm on a map-----------------> is a 1 km in the actual
 √3.8 cm------------------------> x
x=√3.8/2 km

the area of the actual forest preserve is
(
√3.8/2)*(√3.8/2)----> 3.8/4---> 0.95 km²

the answer is
0.95 km²
