Answer:

1152$

Step-by-step explanation:

b1 = 7/8 C

b2 = 5/6 b1 = 35/ 48 C

7/8 C + 35/48 C = C + 696

42/48 C + 35/48 C = 48/48 C + 696 * 48/48

(42 + 35 - 48 ) C = 696 * 48

29 C = 33408

C =1152.

A bag contains 8 black beads and 4 white beads. If 2 beads are drawn at random, what is the probability that both beads are blac
maria [59]

Answer:

14/33

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of beads is 8+4 = 12.  8 of these are black beads, so that is what we want, so 8/12 or 2/3.  For the second one, one black bead is already taken so 8-1 = 7 are left and for the total 12 - 1 = 11 are left, so 7/11.  Multiply this by 2/3 and we get 14/33.

A drawbridge rises at a rate of 3 2/3 feet per minute. The drawbridge rises to a height of 50 feet. How long does it take the dr
k0ka [10]

Answer: Third option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that the drawbridge rises at a rate of 3\ \frac{2}{3} feet per minute. This means that the drawbridge rises  3\ \frac{2}{3} in a minutes.

Convert from mixed fraction to decimal number:

 3\ \frac{2}{3}\ ft=(3+0.66)\ ft=3.6\ ft

Since the drawbridge rises to a height of 50 feet, you need to apply this procedure in order to find the time the drawbridge takes to completely rise:

time=\frac{(1\ min)(50\ ft)}{3.66\ ft}=13.6\ min or 13\ \frac{7}{11}\ min

There are 29235 marbles and 371 jacks. If you want to know the percentage of jacks, do you divide the first number by the second
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Correct answer: Two decimal places to the right

Step-by-step explanation:

We will set the classic proportion:

29,235   -    100%

     371    -        x%

29,235 : 371 = 100 : x  ⇒ 29,235 · x = 371 · 100

x = (371/ 29,235) · 100 = 0.0127 · 100 = 1.27%

x = 1.27%

You divide first number by the second and then multiply with 100,

which is the same as moving the decimal point two places to the right.

last summer, at camp okey-fun-okey, the ratio of the number of boy campers to girl campers was 8:7. If there were a total of 195
Evgen [1.6K]

The ration of boy campers to total campers is 8:15, and the ratio of girl campers to total campers is 7:15.  Using this information, we can answer this question by setting up proportions.

<u>For boys:</u>

\frac{8}{15} =\frac{x}{195}

<em>*Cross multiply*</em>

15x=1560

<em>*Divide both sides by 15*</em>

x=104

There are 169 boy campers.


<u>For girls:</u>

\frac{7}{15} =\frac{x}{195}

<em>*Cross multiply*</em>

15x=1365

91=x

There are 91 girl campers.


Hope this helps!!
