The probability that the train will be there when Alex arrives is 5/18

If Alex arrives at any time after 1.20pm the chances that train will  be there is 1/3.

However  if alex arrives at 1.00pm exactly there is no chance the train will be arrive there.

The probability that the train will be there increase linearly to 1/3 as alex's arrival time moves from 1.00pm to 1.20pm.

By arranging the probabilities over the first 20 minutes to get a 1/6 chance the train will be there if alex arrives between 1.00pm to 1.20pm

we get the final answer by

=1/3( 1/6 + 1/3 + 1/3)

=5/18

So, the probability that the train will be there when Alex arrives is 5/18

I need help on how to do this!!!?​
liraira [26]

Let's say you had a cake that is cut into 5 equal slices. Then someone eats 2 of those slices. They ate 2/5 of the cake.

Now let's say you have another cake that you cut into 10 equal slices. If someone eats 4 of those ten, then they have eaten 4/10 = 2/5 of the cake.

Check out the diagram below to see a visual of how 4/10 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.

Going from 2/5 to 4/10 has us multiply top and bottom by 2.

-----------

Similarly, 1/2 = 5/10 after multiplying top and bottom by 10

The original expression 2/5 + 1/2 turns into 4/10 + 5/10

Then you add the numerators to get 4+5 = 9, placing that over the common denominator of 10

<h3>Answer: 9/10</h3>

Given the equation 5x − 4 = –2(3x + 2), solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.
blagie [28]
A.
5x-4=-2(3x+2) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\&#10;5x-4=-2 \times 3x-2 \times 2 \\&#10;5x-4=-6x-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 6x to both sides} \\&#10;11x-4=-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 4 to both sides} \\&#10;11x=0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{divide both sides by 11} \\&#10;x=0

B.
3(2x-4)=5x-1 \\&#10;6x-12=5x-1 \\&#10;\boxed{11x-12=-1} \Leftarrow \hbox{the first mistake} \\&#10;11x=11 \\&#10;\boxed{x=11} \Leftarrow \hbox{the second mistake}

Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.

The correct solution:
3(2x-4)=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\&#10;3 \times 2x+3 \times (-4)=5x-1 \\ 6x-12=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{subtract 5x from both sides} \\&#10;x-12=-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  |\hbox{add 12 to both sides} \\&#10;x=11
