1 point) during a winter season at one ski resort, there are two roads from area a to area b and two roads from area b to area

1 answer:

5 0

Probability that both roads from a to b are blocked is the product of the individual probabilities, i.e.
P(~ab)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Similarly
P(~bc)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Probability that EITHER one or both of ab and bc are blocked is the sum of the probabilities:
P(~ab ∪ ~bc)=0.0625+0.0625=0.125
(recall that one cannot travel from a to c if either ab or bc is blocked.)

Therefore the probability that there exists an open route from a to c
= P(ac) = 1-P(~ab ∪ ~bc)
= 1 - 0.125
=0.875

-6x-14y=-20<br> -3x-7y=-10

Alex Ar [27]

ANSWER:

x = 10 / 3

y = 0

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem. Let's first establish the two equations which we will be using.

Equation No. 1 -

- 6x - 14y = - 20

Equation No. 2 -

- 3x - 7y = - 10

First, we will make ( x ) the subject in the first equation and simplify accordingly.

Equation No. 1 -

- 6x - 14y = - 20

- 6x = - 20 + 14y

x = ( - 20 + 14y ) / - 6

x = ( - 10 + 7y ) / - 3

From this, we will make ( y ) the subject in the second equation and substitute the value of ( x ) from the first equation into the second equation to solve for ( y ) accordingly.

Equation No. 2 -

- 3x - 7y = - 10

- 7y = - 10 + 3x

- 7y = - 10 + 3 [ ( - 10 + 7y ) / - 3 ]

- 7y = - 10 + [ ( - 30 + 21y ) / - 3 ]

- 7y = - 10 + ( 10 - 7y )

- 7y = - 7y

- 7y + 7y = 0

0y = 0

y = 0

Using this, we will substitute the value of ( y ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( x ) accordingly.

x = ( - 10 + 7y ) / - 3

x = [ - 10 + 7 ( 0 ) ] / - 3

x = [ - 10 + 0 ] / - 3

x = - 10 / - 3

x = 10 / 3

Maddie's backyard is 25 meters by 25 meters. She wants to put a square cement patio in her backyard. She does not want the patio

luda_lava [24]

The inequality that represents the possible length of the patio is √A < 625.

<h3 /><h3>How to represent an inequality?</h3>

Maddie's backyard is 25 meters by 25 meters.

Therefore,

area of the backyard = 25 × 25 = 625 m²

Hence,

She wants to put a square cement patio in her backyard.

A = area of the patio, in square meters.

Hence,

area of the backyard = 625 m²

Therefore, the inequality that represents the possible length of the patio is √A < 625.

Nancy’s morning routine involves getting dressed , eating breakfast, making her bed , and driving to work . Nancy spends 1/3 of

grin007 [14]

Answer: Nancy needs 26 minutes to driving to work.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Time taken in eating breakfast = 10 minutes

Time taken in making her bed = 5 minutes

Let the total time taken by her in doing routine activities be x

Time taken in getting dressed is given by

$\frac{1}{3}x$

So, According to question,

$\frac{x}{3}+10+5=35\frac{1}{2}\\\\\frac{x}{3}+15=\frac{71}{2}\\\\\frac{x}{3}=\frac{71}{2}-15\\\\\frac{x}{3}=\frac{71-30}{2}=\frac{41}{2}\\\\x=\frac{123}{2}$

Now, we need to find the time taken in driving to work which is given by

$\frac{123}{{2}-\frac{71}{2}=\frac{52}{2}=26\ minutes$

Hence, Nancy needs 26 minutes to driving to work.
