The proportion can be used to find the distance on the map (x) that represents 50 miles will be x/50 = 5 / 200. Then the correct option is A.

<h3>What are ratio and proportion?</h3>

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

The scale on a map shows that 200 miles is represented by 5 inches on a map.

Then the proportion can be used to find the distance on the map (x) that represents 50 miles will be

x/50 = 5 / 200

Then  the correct option is A.

More about the ratio and the proportion link is given below.

svetoff [14.1K]

we know that

in the right triangle of the figure

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

13^{2} =b^{2} +7^{2} \\ b^{2} =13^{2}-7^{2}\\ b^{2}=120\\ b=\sqrt{120} \ cm

therefore

the answer is the option

C) b=\sqrt{120} \ centimeters

Urn 1 contains 3 blue tokens and 2 red tokens; urn 2 contains 2 blue tokens and 4 red tokens. All tokens are indistinguishable.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

RR = 0.4

RB = 0.3

BB = 0.22

BR = 0.30

Step-by-step explanation:

P( Urn 1 ) = 2/6 = 1/3

P( Urn 2 ) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Urn 1 contains : 3 blue and 2 red

P( blue | urn 1 ) = 3/5 ( with replacement ) , P( blue | urn 1 ) = 3/4 ( without replacement )

P( red | urn 1 ) = 2 / 5 ( with replacement ) , P(red | urn 1 ) = 1/2 ( without replacement )

Urn 2 contains : 2 blue and 4 red

P ( blue | urn 2 ) = 1/3 ( with replacement ) , P( blue | urn 2 ) = 2/5 ( without replacement )

P ( red | urn 2 ) = 2/3 ( with replacement) , P( red | urn 2 ) = 4/5 ( without replacement )

Determine

<u>i) Possible outcomes when two tokens are drawn from either Urn without replacement </u>

RR = [[ ( 2/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 2/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [( 1/2 * 1/3 ) + ( 4/5 * 2/3 ) ]] = 0.4

RB = [[ (2/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 2/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 3/4 *1/3 ) + ( 2/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.3

BB = [[ ( 3/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 1/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 3/4 *1/3 ) + ( 2/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.22

BR = [[ ( 3/5 * 1/3 ) + ( 1/3 * 2/3 ) ] * [ ( 1/2 * 1/3 ) + ( 4/5 * 2/3 ) ]] ≈ 0.30

The penny size of a nail indicates the length of the nail. The penny size d is given by the literal equation d=4n−2, where n is
sleet_krkn [62]
D=4n-2, d+2=4n-2+2, d+2=4n
(d+2)/4=(4n)/4, 1/4d+1/2=n
n=1/4n+1/2

size 3=
n=1/4*3/1=3/4, 3/4+1/2=5/4=1 1/4
size 3=1 1/4

size 6=
n=1/4*6/1=6/4, 6/4+1/2=8/4=2
size 6=2

size 10=
n=1/4*10/1=10/4, 10/4+1/2=12/4=3
size 10=3
