Based on that, Dale chooses the vanilla and strawberry parts. Note: All cuts made to the ice cream shownbelow are vertical. Which is a second division that Dale would make of his share of the ice cream?arrow_forward
- A spinner has 4 equally sized sectors that are numbered 1, 3, 8 and 8. The spinner is spun twice and the product of the outcomes is found. A fair decision is to be made about which one of 4 side dishes will be prepared. The side dish options are creamed corn, scalloped potatoes, rice pilaf and coleslaw. Which description accurately explains how a fair decision can be made in this situation? If the product is 3, creamed corn will be prepared. If the product is 24, scalloped potatoes will be prepared. If the product is 8, coleslaw will be prepared. If the product is 1, 9 or 64, rice pilaf will be prepared. If the product is 64, creamed corn will be prepared. If the product is 24, scalloped potatoes will be prepared. If the product is 9, coleslaw will be prepared. If the product is 1, 3 or 8, rice pilaf will be prepared. If the product is 64, creamed corn will be prepared. If the product is 9, scalloped potatoes will be prepared.

The locations of the county’s four major towns are as follows: (10, 20), (60, 20), (40, 30), and (80, 60) (see Figure 7.50). Town 1 averages 40 fires per year; town 2, 25 fires; town 3, 20 fires; and town 4, 30 fires. The county wants to build the fire station in a location that minimizes the average distance that a fire engine must travel to respond to a fire. Because most roads run in either an east-west or a north-south direction, the fire engine must do the same. For example, if the fire station is located at (30, 40) and a fire occurs at town 4, the fire engine has to travel |80 - 30| + |60 - 40| = 70 miles to the fire. a. Determine where the fire station should be located. Round your answers to three decimal places.
