Solution Steps

To find the fraction of adults who are not confident about their retirement savings, divide the number of adults who are not confident by the total number of adults surveyed. Then, simplify the fraction to its lowest terms.

Step 1: Determine the Fraction

To find the fraction of adults who are not confident about their retirement savings, we start with the number of adults not confident, which is \( 145 \), and the total number of adults surveyed, which is \( 1000 \). Thus, the fraction can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Fraction} = \frac{145}{1000} \]

Step 2: Simplify the Fraction

Next, we simplify the fraction \( \frac{145}{1000} \). The greatest common divisor (GCD) of \( 145 \) and \( 1000 \) is \( 5 \). Therefore, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by \( 5 \):

\[ \frac{145 \div 5}{1000 \div 5} = \frac{29}{200} \]

Final Answer

The fraction of adults who are not confident that they will have enough saved to last through retirement is

\[ \boxed{\frac{29}{200}} \]

In April 1974, John Massis of Belgium managed to move two passenger railroad cars. He did so by clamping his teeth down on a bit that was attached to the cars with a rope and then leaning backward while pressing his feet against the railway ties. The cars together weighed 700 kN (about 71 tons). Assume that he pulled with a constant force that was 2.1 times his body weight, at an upward angle θ of 32 degrees from the horizontal. His mass was 81 kg, and he moved the cars by 1.0 m. Neglecting any retarding force from the wheel rotation, find the speed of the cars at the end of the pull.
