Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using any method, and fill in the blanks.
Two tailors, Linda and Betty, sit down to do some embroidery. Linda can embroider 2 shirts
per hour, and Betty can get through 5 shirts per hour. In addition, the tailors had previously
finished some shirts. Linda has already completed 17 shirts, and Betty has completed 5
shirts. Linda and Betty decide to take a break when they have finished the same total number
of shirts. How many shirts, in total, will each tailor have finished? How long will that take?
Each tailor will have finished a total of
shirts in
hours.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
