Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that we have 5 envelopes. So the denominator of the probability is going to be x/5. We then realize that only one envelope has the car, so the probability of that is 1/5. If we subtract 1/5 from the probability of choosing an envelope (5/5), we get 5/5-1/5=4/5.

Josephine can correct her students' test papers in 9 hours, but if her teacher's assistant helps, it would take them 7 hours. Ho
kirill [66]

Using the together rate, it is found that it would take the assistant 31 hours and 30 minutes to do it alone.

<h3>What is the together rate?</h3>

It is the sum of each separate rate.

In this problem, the rates are given as follows:

  • Josephine: 1/9.
  • Assistant: 1/x.
  • Together: 1/7.

Hence:

\frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{1}{7}

\frac{x + 9}{9x} = \frac{1}{7}

9x = 7x + 63

2x = 63

x = 31.5.

It would take the assistant 31 hours and 30 minutes to do it alone.

A chef uses a circular pan with a 24-inch diameter to make a pizza. What is the area of pizza
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<u>The area of a pizza made in that circular pan is 452.39 inches²</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Diameter of the circular pan = 24 inches

Radius of the circular pan = 24/2 = 12 inches

2. What is the area of the pizza?

Let's use the formula of the area of a circle, this way:

Area = π * r²

Substituting with the real values, we have:

Area = 3.1416 * 12²

Area = 452.39 inches²

<u>The area of a pizza made in that circular pan is 452.39 inches²</u>

Pls help! will mark branliest!!! :)

The area of the house is the amount of space on the house.

  • The length of the addition is x + 20
  • The area of the original house is x^2 + 30x + 200

<h3>The length of the addition</h3>

The area of the addition is given as:

Area = x^2 + 10x - 200

Expand

Area = x^2 + 20x - 10x - 200

Factorize

Area = x(x + 20) - 10(x + 20)

Factor out x + 20

Area = (x -10)(x + 20)

The width of the addition is x - 10.

Hence, the length of the addition is x + 20

<h3>The area of the original house</h3>

The dimension of the original house is

x + 20 by x + 10

So, the area is:

Area =(x + 20)(x + 10)

Expand

Area =x^2 + 20x + 10x + 200

This gives

Area =x^2 + 30x + 200

Hence, the area of the original house is x^2 + 30x + 200
