Answer:

<u>Dan has 16 marbles.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Frank has 15 marbles and that the three people combined have 63 marbles, therefore the first step is to substrack the 15 marbles of Frank out of the total.

63-15=48

Now, Dan and Ellie have 48 marbles between each other but we know that Ellie has twice the amount that Dan has. So we first need to divide 48 by three

48/3=16

If there would be three people instead of two (Dan and Ellie) then each of them would have 16 marbles. but in this case, Ellie has twice the amount, therefore Ellie has 32 (16x2) and Dan has the remaining 16 marbles

Dan= 16 marbles

Ellie=32 marbles

Frank=15 marbles

Total amount= 16+32+15=63.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

0.643

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, s = play a sport

c = participate in a club

P(s) = 0.14

P(s n c) = 0.09

probability that a student participates in

a club given that they also play a sport = P(c | s)

P(c | s) = P(c n s) / P(s)

P(c | s) = 0.09 / 0.14

P(c | s) = 0.64285

= 0.643

The Lees have 3 children. The oldest is twice as old as the youngest. The middle is 5 years older than the youngest. If the sum
valina [46]
Oldest = 2 times Youngest -> O = 2*Y
Middle = Youngest + 5 -> M = Y+5
All of them together is 57 -> O + M + Y = 57

So you have these three equations:
(1) O = 2*Y
(2) M = Y+5
(3) O + M + Y = 57

Now you want to reduce the number of variables. You can change the second equation to be Y = M-5 and then plug in "M-5" wherever there is currently a Y:

(4) O = 2*(M-5) = 2*M - 10
(5) O + M + (M-5) = 57 
    which becomes O + 2M = 62

Then you plug in the "O" equation (4) into (5) which gives you
(2M-10) + 2M = 62 which reduces to 4M = 72.

So now I know M is 18. 
I can now plug that into my other equations:
(4) O = 2*18 - 10 which means O = 26.
Now I plug that into (1) from the top:
26 = 2*Y which becomes 13 = Y

So now I have O, Y, and M
Oldest is 26
Middle is 18
Youngest is 13

Reading the sentence again, you can see that this makes sense.
