Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

After adding 88 red marbles, there are 50 blue marbles out of the 204 marbles total.

Let the number of blue marbles to be added be x.

\frac{50+x}{204+x}=\frac{5}{12} \\ \\ 600+12x=1020+5x \\ \\ 420=7x \\ \\ x=60

How much medicine should he add to the food?​
quester [9]

Answer:

Paul should give 18 teaspoons of medicine to his dog.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is stated in the question that for every 12 pounds, 3 teaspoons of medicine is to be given to the dog.

This implies that:

12 pounds = 3 teaspoons

1 pound = 3/12 teaspoons

             = 1/4 teaspoons                      <em> ( by cross multiplication )</em>

<em />

<h3>72 pounds = 1/4 * 72 teaspoons</h3><h3>                   = 18 teaspoons</h3><h3 />

Hence, Paul should add 18 teaspoons of medicine to his dog's food.

Suppose A and B are independent events if P(A) = 0.4 And P(B) = 0.1, what is P(A'uB)? APEX
Aloiza [94]
For Independent Events, P(A) × P(B) = P(A∩B)

so we have, P(A∩B) = 0.4×0.1 = 0.04

P(A') = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

This information can be represented on a Venn diagram as shown below

P(A'∪B) means the union of everything that is not A with everything that is B

P(A'∪B) = 0.06 + 0.54 + 0.04 = 0.64
