Answer:

About 41.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Given:</em>

<em>A bowl has 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes. Henry randomly chooses a grape, eats it, and then chooses another grape. </em>

<em>To Find:</em>

<em>What is the probability that both grapes are red?</em>

<em>Answer choices:</em>

<em>about 39.7% </em>

<em>about 41.5%</em>

<em> about 42.5% </em>

<em>about 44.5%</em>

<em>Solution:</em>

<em>Since, there are 8 green grapes and 15 red grapes, the total number of grapes is 23 . </em>

<em>As the red grapes are 15.. </em>

<em>Thus, </em>

<em>The probability of choosing a red grape the first time is 15/23.</em>

<em>Because out of the total 23 grapes only 15 were red grape.</em>

<em> The probability of choosing the red grape the second time will be 14/22. Because the number of red grapes has already decreased by one and so is the total number of grapes after first choice</em>

<em>Hence, the probability of choosing or eating two red grapes will be :</em>

<em>15/23×14/22 </em>

<em>=105/253 </em>

<em>=0.415</em>

<em>= 41.5% </em>

<em>Therefore, the probability that both grapes are red is about 41.5%</em>

A farmer is tracking the number of soybeans his land is yielding each year. He finds that the function f(x) = −x2 + 20x + 100 mo
labwork [276]

Answer:

The farmer should expect to LOSE 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-x^2 + 20x + 100

just find how many soybeans his land will yield (per acre) after 10 and 20 years:

After 10: 200 pounds of soybeans/acre

After 20: 100 pounds of soybeans/acre

Because 10 years have passed and they lost 100 pounds of soybean production per acre, the farmer should expect to lose 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year (-10 pounds of soybeans per acre/year)

yan [13]
Answer: 55 miles per hour

Explanation: that hint is really useful
So if distance = velocity x time
That means 220 = v x 4 hours
To find v, divided 220 by 4
220 divided by 4 = 55
But I have a question:
Is he driving at a constant speed?
and is this 6th grade math? I’m in that grade but you can trust my answer
If im wrong, someone pls correct me
If im right, mark me brainliest pls, im broke, i have no points-
Goodluck!

Contestant and like terms. What do they mean?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Like Terms: terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. So like 5x plus 5x plus 5. 5x and 5x are like terms.

I'm going to assume you mean Constant instead of contestant so

Constant: Terms without variables

Example: 5x+2x+7

5x and 2x are like terms

7 is a Constant

If f(x)=-4x^2-6x-1 and g(x)=-x^2-5x+3, fine (f-g)(x)
NeX [460]

Answer:

\large\boxed{(f-g)(x)=-3x^2-x-4}

Step-by-step explanation:

(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)

f(x)=-4x^2-6x-1,\ g(x)=-x^2-5x+3\\\\(f-g)(x)=(-4x^2-6x-1)-(-x^2-5x+3)\\\\(f-g)(x)=-4x^2-6x-1-(-x^2)-(-5x)-3\\\\(f-g)(x)=-4x^2-6x-1+x^2+5x-3\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(f-g)(x)=(-4x^2+x^2)+(-6x+5x)+(-1-3)\\\\(f-g)(x)=-3x^2-x-4
