Given that the total number of students that sent messages = 150 students

a) To obtain the equation to represent the number of students who send text messages, we will sum up the variables in the Venn diagram and equate it to 150.

\begin{gathered} 75+x+3x+x=150 \\ x+3x+x=150-75 \\ 5x=75 \end{gathered}

Hence, the equation is

5x=75

b) Solving for x

\begin{gathered} 5x=75 \\ x=\frac{75}{5}=15 \\ \therefore x=15 \end{gathered}

Therefore, x = 15.

c) The total number of student that uses cell phone = 75 + x = 75 + 15= 90students

The total number of students that sent messages = 150students

The formula for probability is,

\text{Probability = }\frac{\text{Number of students that uses cell phone}}{\text{Total number of students}}

Hence,

P(\text{Number of students that uses cell phone)}=\frac{90}{150}=\frac{3}{5}

Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen student uses their cell phone to send text messages ​is 3/5.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

He pays to the cab driver for 25 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let us consider he walks x miles at the rate of 4 miles per hour.

As we know Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}

Therefore, time taken is: Time=\frac{x}{4}

He get a taxi for (31-x) miles at the rate of 50 miles per hour.

Therefore, time taken is: Time=\frac{31-x}{50}

It took 2 hours after he started.

That means the sum of time take is 2 hours.

\frac{x}{4}+\frac{31-x}{50}=2

\frac{25x+62-2x}{100}= 2

23x+62= 200

23x= 138

x= 6

Hence he walk 6 miles and he get a taxi for 31-6=25 miles.

He pays to the cab driver for 25 miles.
