Mathematics

Using the total weight the number of red, green and yellow colour are 2, 4 and 3 respectively.

<h3>How to find each colour using total weight?</h3>

The total number of reds, yellows, and greens on a scale is 9.

The reds weighed 3 pounds each, the yellows weighed 6 pounds each, and the greens weighed 5 pounds each. The total weight is 44

pounds. There are 2 more greens than reds.

Therefore,

let

x = number of reds

number of greens = x + 2

y = number of yellow

Therefore,

x + x + 2 + y = 9

2x + y = 7

3x + 6y + 5(x + 2) = 44

3x + 6y + 5x + 10 = 44

8x + 6y = 34

Hence,

2x + y = 7

8x + 6y = 34

8x + 4y = 28

8x + 6y = 34

2y = 6

y = 6 / 2

y = 3

2x + 3 = 7

2x = 7 - 3

2x  = 4

x = 4 / 2

x = 2

Therefore,

the number red colour = 2

the number of green colour = 2 + 2 = 4

the number of yellow colour = 3

Renee uses 12 marshmallows and 8 graham crackers to make 4 s'mores. Drag marshmallows and graham crackers into the box to show h
Anit [1.1K]
To find out how much is needed for 1 you will need to divide each given value by 4:
12 marshmallows / 4 = 3
8 graham crackers / 4 = 2
4 smores / 4 = 1
you then need to multiply each value by 3 :
3 marshmallows x 3 = 9
2 graham crackers x 3 = 6
1 smore x 3 = 3
therefore the answer would be :
9 marshmallows
6 graham crackers

hope this helps you

In another state, all license plates consist of from four to six symbols chosen from the 26 letters of the alphabet together wit
fredd [130]
A)
First note that the plates can have between 4 and 6 symbols so we will need to find the number of plates with 4 symbols, 5 symbols and 6 symbols. We add these to get the total. In this part repetition of symbols is allowed. Since there are 26 + 10 =36 possible symbols we look at each position on the plate and think of how many choices there are. We multiply the number f choices using the counting principal since the choices are each independent -- one symbol does not affect another. There are 36 choices for the first symbol, 35 for the second and so on. The number of plates is:
4-symbols = (36)(36)(36)(36)=36^4
5 symbols = (36)^5
6 symbols = 36^6
So the total here is: 36^4+36^5+36^6

B) Here we do not repeat symbols so there are 36 choices for the first symbol but only 35 for the next and 34 for the one after and so on.
4-symbols = (36)(35)(34)(33)
5 symbols = (36)(35)(34)(33)(32)
6 symbols = (36)(35)(34)(33)(32)(31)
So the total here is: (36)(35)(34)(33)+(36)(35)(34)(33)(32)+(36)(35)(34)(33)(32)(31)

c)
In order for there to be a repeated symbol we have 36 choices for the first symbol, 36 for the next and so on. However, for the last symbol we have to pick from one of the ones already selected so there are 3, 4 or 5 choices respectively.
4-symbols = (36)(36)(36)(3)
5 symbols = (36)(36)(36)(36)(4)
6 symbols = (36)(36)(36)(36)(36)(5)
So the total here is: (36^3)(3)+(36^4)(4)+(36^5)(5)

D)
The probability is given by (the number of plates with at least one repeated symbol)/(the total number of plates if repetitions are allowed) = (the answer to c) / (the answer to a)

Saira is using the formula for the area of a circle to determine the value of .
klio [65]

For this problem, we just have to use the values we're given to calculate the approximate value of pi.

The formula presented is

\pi=Ar^{-2}

When you have a negative exponent, we can use the following property

a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^b}

Using this property, our problem turns out to be

\pi=\frac{A}{r^2}

Now, we just need to plug the given values on this equation

\pi=\frac{50.265}{4^2}=3.1415625\approx3.142

The approximated value for pi is 3.142.
