The graph shows the types of watches at a jewelry counter. Which statements are true? Choose exactly two answers that are correct. One-third of the analog watches are women’s watches. Sixty percent of the women’s watches are digital watches. There are 3 more analog watches than digital watches. There are more than twice as many men’s watches as women’s watches.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

oops.. watches*

OpenStudy (freemap):

okay

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: analog watches are 16 and women watches are 10 so, is the first option possible?

OpenStudy (freemap):

1.6 so no

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think no, since \(3 \cdot 10 > 16\)

OpenStudy (freemap):

I said no

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

next: digital watches are 9

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry, there are 15 digital watches

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

is the second option possible?

OpenStudy (freemap):

no

OpenStudy (freemap):

not the women but possibly the men

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct! since \(0.06 \cdot 10 \neq 15\)

OpenStudy (freemap):

It has to be the last 2 now

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

analog watches are 16, and digital watches are 15

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please wait a moment, I make some computations...

OpenStudy (freemap):

okay

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have this diagram: |dw:1456874181587:dw|

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, first option is false

OpenStudy (freemap):

I see okay

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have \(0.6 \cdot 10=6\) which is different from 15

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

there are 10 women's watches

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, also the second option is false, am I right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry, the second option is true!!

OpenStudy (freemap):

okay

OpenStudy (freemap):

its fine

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

since we have 6 women's digital watches

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

third option is false, since analog watches are 16, and digital watches are 15, and 16-15 < 3

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

namely: \[\Large 16 < 15 + 3\]

OpenStudy (freemap):

ohhh I see

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

fourth option is true, since we can write: \[\huge 21 > 2 \cdot 10\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

men's watches = 21 women's watches = 10

OpenStudy (freemap):

Thanks so very much, I don't know what I'd do without you. B and D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thanks! :D now I have to go to sleep, since it is 24:30 (Italy time zone)

OpenStudy (freemap):

I have 6 questions I must finish, but would you only help me with one more just one

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! only one :)
