If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 38,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
38,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{114000}{4} \) = 28,500 fans.
In an electronic circuit, a thermocouple can be used to:
open or close a circuit at a designated temperature
A thermocouple is a temperature sensor that consists of two wires made from different conductors. The junction of these two wires produces a voltage based on the temperature difference between them and can be used like a switch to open or close the circuit at a designated temperature.
If there were a total of 350 raffle tickets sold and you bought 24 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?
You have 24 out of the total of 350 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{24}{350} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{24 \times 100}{350} \) = \( \frac{2400}{350} \) = 7% chance to win the raffle.
The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?
h x l x w
A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 50mph \times 1h \)
50 miles
What part of the nervous system controls simple reflexes?
spinal cord
The spinal cord connects the brain to the body's network of nerves. It carries impulses between all organs and the brain and controls simple reflexes.
\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?
distributive property for division
The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
