You started with a total of 28 muffins

<h3>How to determine the amount you started with?</h3>

From the question, the given parameters are:

Proportion carried away = 16 of the total muffins

Proportion carried away = 4/7 of the total muffins

The above parameters implies that

4/7 of the total muffins = 16

Represent the amount you started with x

So, we have the following representation

4/7 of x = 16

Express as products

4/7x = 16

Make x the subject

x = 7 * 16/4

Evaluate

x = 28

Hence, the total number of muffins is 28

Evaluate 3/5r +5/8swhen r =14 and s =8
Illusion [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

14×5=70

8×8=64

(3/70) + (5/64)

= (3×64)+(5×70)

----‐------------------

70×64

= (192+350)/448

=542/448

= 271/224

Seven more than the product of a number and <br> 8<br> is equal to <br> 5
yuradex [85]
8x + 7 = 5

A "product" is the result of a multiplication operation.  So the product of a number, ( which we will call x,) and 8 would be 8x. (Or 8*"x" number) 7 more than that product would be 8x + 7 = 5

Hope that this helps!

Cargo ships arrive at a loading dock at a rate of 2 per day. The dock has the capability of handling 3 arrivals per day. How man
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the probability functions of each of the intervals to know the Probability number and then use it in the expected value.

P(x>3 cargo ships) = 1-P(x<=3)

P(x>3) = 1-P(x<=3)

P(x>3) = 1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)]

P(x>3) = 1 - [\frac{e^{-2}2^0}{01}+\frac{e^{-2}2^1}{11}+\frac{e^{-2}2^2}{21}+\frac{e^{-3}2^3}{31}]

P(x>3) = 1- [0.1353(1+2+2+1.33)]

P(x>3) = 1-0.856

P(x>3) = 0.1431

Als n=30, expected number is

E(x) =30*P(x>3)

E(x) = 30*0.1431

E(x) = 4.293

I expect 4.293 or 4 days per month the block being unable to hanlde all arriving ships
