Problem 1

Answer: Closer to 1

Explanation:

There are 20 gumballs total. Half of this is 20/2 = 10 gumballs. If there's more than 10 of one color, then the probability of getting that color is closer to 1, than it is to 0. Here we have 12 pink which is greater than 10, so that's why the answer is closer to 1.

================================================

Problem 2

Answer: Closer to 0

Explanation:

The amount of green (3) is less than 10, so that's why the probability is closer to 0 than it is to 1. We can see that 3/20 = 0.15 is less than 0.50

================================================

Problem 3

Answer: Closer to 0

Explanation:

We have a similar situation compared to problem 2. This time we have 5/20 = 0.25 which is less than 0.50

================================================

Problem 4

Answer: 48% chance; fairly likely

Explanation:

We have 12 green out of 25 total, so the probability of choosing green is 12/25 = 0.48 = 48%. While this probability is not over 50%, I still say it's fairly likely considering the other colors lead to smaller probabilities. For instance, purple has a chance of 6/25 = 0.24 = 24% and orange has a probability of 2/25 = 0.04 = 4%, both of which are smaller than 48%

The nurse needs to mix 2% solution with 10% solution to get 10 ml of the prescribed 6% solution. What amount of each solution do

xenn [34]

Volumes of 2% Solution = 5 ml

Volumes of 10% Solution = 5 ml

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Simultaneous Linear Equations could be solved by using several methods such as :

Elimination Method
Substitution Method
Graph Method

If we have two linear equations with 2 variables x and y , then we need to find the value of x and y that satisfying the two equations simultaneously.

Let us tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

Let:

Volumes of 2% Solution = x

Volumes of 10% Solution = y

$\texttt{ }$

Total Volume = 10 ml

$\boxed{x + y = 10}$ → Equation 1

$\texttt{ }$

The nurse needs to mix 2% solution with 10% solution to get 10 ml of the prescribed 6% solution.

$2 \% x + 10 \% y = 6 \% (10)$

$2x + 10y = 6(10)$

$\boxed{x + 5y = 30}$ → Equation 2

$\texttt{ }$

Equation 1 - Equation 2:

$( x + y ) - ( x + 5y ) = 10 - 30$

$-4y = -20$

$y = -20 \div -4$

$y = 5 \texttt{ ml}$

$\texttt{ }$

$x + y = 10$

$x + 5 = 10$

$x = 5 \texttt{ ml}$

$\texttt{ }$

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

Volumes of 2% Solution = 5 ml

Volumes of 10% Solution = 5 ml

$\texttt{ }$

How could you convert the 3/8of an inch into sixteenths?

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

6/16

Step-by-step explanation:

To get 16ths multiply both the top and bottom by 2

3*2=6

8*2=16

6/16ths =0.375

3/8ths=0.375

Micah rows his boat on a river 4.48 miles downstream, with the current, in 0.32 hours. He rows back upstream the same distance,

denpristay [2]

Let the speed of the current be y and the speed of Micah's sailing speed be x. Then 4.48/(x + y) = 0.32
4.48/(x - y) = 0.56

0.32x + 0.32y = 4.48 . . . (1)
0.56x - 0.56y = 4.48 . . . (2)
(1) x 7 => 2.24x + 2.24y = 31.36 . . . (3)
(2) x 4 => 2.24x - 2.24y = 17.92 . . . (4)
(3) - (4) => 4.48y = 13.44
y = 3
From (1), 0.32x + 0.32(3) = 4.48
0.32x = 4.48 - 0.96 = 3.52
x = 3.52/0.32 = 11

Therefore, the speed of the current is 3 miles per hour. Answer is 3 miles per hour
