Answer:

5/11

Step-by-step explanation:

probability = # of favorable outcomes / # of total outcomes

favorable outcome = selecting a pair of formal shoes.

There are 5 pairs of formal shoes so # of favorable outcomes = 5

The total number of outcomes = sum of different pairs of shoes. There are  5 pairs of formal shoes, 2 pairs of traditional shoes, and 4 pairs of casual shoes, so total there are 5 + 2 + 4 = 11 pairs of shoes

so we have probability =  # of favorable outcomes / # of total outcomes

and # of favorable outcomes = 5 and total # of outcomes = 11 so probability of selecting a pair of formal shoes is 5/11

Jocelyn owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. She only has enough supplies to make 150 tacos or burritos. She sells e
timurjin [86]

Answer:

We know that:

Price of a taco = $4

Price of a burrito = $6.50

x = number of tacos sold

y = number of burritos sold.

We must have that:

x + y ≤ 150  (Because she only has supplies to make 150 tacos or burritos, but she can sell less than that)

And also we know that she must sell at least $780, then:

x*$4 + y*$6.50 ≥ $780

Now we found the system of inequalities:

x + y ≤ 150

x*$4 + y*$6.50 ≥ $780

To solve it graphically, we just need to find each one of the region solutions for each equation, and the intersection of these regions will be the solution for the system.

To graph them may be easier to write them as lines, you can do it as follows:

y ≤ 150 - x

y ≥ ($780 - x*$4)/$6.50

in the first equation, we will shade the area below the line, and in the second equation, we will shade the area above the line.

You can see the image below.

Where the accepted solutions are the ones in the darker part, and we only restrict this to positive values of x (because of how we defined the variable x)

Then looking at the image, we can see that one solution can be the point

x = 20, y = 120

A person weighing 170 lb burns 8.6 calories per minute while mowing a lawn. How many calories would be burned A person weighing
lord [1]

Answer:

4,644 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of calories to be burned is shown below

r = rate = 8.6 cal/min

= 8.6 cal ÷ [(1 ÷ 60)hr]

= 516 cal/hr

Now

Calories consumed in 9 hours is

= (516 cal/hr) × (9 hrs)

= 4,644 calories

The pond can hold 400 water lilies. By what day will the pond be full? Write and solve an equation. The pond will be full by the
egoroff_w [7]

The pond will be full by the end of the day in 93 days.

<h3>Linear system</h3>

It is a system of an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. A one-dimension figure that has no width. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.

Given

The pond can hold 400 water liters.

y = 3.915(1.106)x is an expression.

<h3>To find </h3>

The pond will be full by the end of the day.

<h3>How many days it will take?</h3>

Let x be the day and y be the hold of water.

When pond can hold 400 liters of water the x will be

400 = 3.915×1.106x

400 = 4.33 x

    x = 92.37 ≈ 93

Thus, the pond will be full by the end of the day in 93 days.

More about the linear system link is given below.
