Using proportions, Nelly's total pay for last week was of £220.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

From Monday to Friday, she worked 17 hours, hence:

For 15 hours, she was paid £8 per hour.

For the last 2 hours, she was paid £10 per hour.

On Saturday, she worked 5 hours, and was paid £16 per hour.

Hence her total payment is found as follows:

15 x 8 + 2 x 10 + 5 x 16 = £220.

This question is too hard

OLga [1]

Answer:

27 children

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 9 children, there are 4 adults. Those numbers added together equal 13. Now, if we divide the total number of adults and children by 13, we will get the number of how many groups there are of 9 kids and 4 adults.

39 / 13 = 3

There are 3 groups of 9 kids and 4 adults, which means to find the total number of children, we have to multiply 3 by 9.

3 * 9 = 27

Therefore, there are 27 children total. I know this was probably really confusing, but I hope it helped in some way! Have a lovely day!! :)

A locker combination has 2 nonzero digits. Digits in a combination are not repeated and range from 2 through 9. Event A = choosi

Anna [14]

It must be B.

There are two possibilities; in the first, the first digit is below 5, in the second, it is above. The probability of the first possibility is 3/8, because there are 3 possible digits below 5 and 8 total digits. In this scenario, the chance of the second digit being below 5 is 2/7, because one of the digits is taken. In the other possibility, which has a chance of 5/8, the probability of choosing a number below 5 is 3/7, since all of them are still available. Doing the arithmetic, you find that the total probability is 2/7. Hope this helps!
