We have FIVE cats that each ate 1/4 cup of canned food.

Then, the five of them together ate:

5 times 1/4 cup This in mathematical expression is a profduct of an integer value (5) times the fraction (1/4) which we know how to multiply based on the problems we solved a few minutes ago:

5 * 1/4 = 5/1 * 1/4 = (5 * 1) / (1 * 4) = 5/4 cups

This answer can also be written as a MIXED number given that 5/4 is an IMPROPER fraction (a fraction with numerator larger than the denominator)

5/4 = 1 1/4

Not sure what answer your teacher would prefer. It depends on whether he/she wants you to use fractions or mixed numbers.

L varies directly with the square of Z. L is 12 when Z is 2. Find the value of L when Z is 4.

kow [346]

Answer:

L = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that L varies directly with Z² , then the equation relating them is

L = kZ² ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition L = 12 when Z = 2 , then

12 = k × 2² = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )

3 = k

L = 3Z² ← equation of variation

When Z = 4 , then

L = 3 × 4² = 3 × 16 = 48

Assume that in a particular military exercise involving two units, Red and Blue, thereis a 60 % chance that the Red unit will su

Marysya12 [62]

Answer: a) There are 42% chances that both units will meet their objectives.

b) There are 88% chances that one or the other but not both of the units will be successful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that the Red unit will successfully meet its objectives = 60% = P(R)

Probability that Blue unit will successfully meet its objectives = 70% = P(B)

Probability that only Red unit will be successful = P(only Red) = 18%

As we know that

$P(only\ red)=P(R)-P(R\cap B)\\\\0.18=0.60-P(R\cap B)\\\\0.18-0.60=-P(R\cap B)\\\\-0.42=-P(R\cap B)\\\\P(R\cap B)=42\%$

Hence, there are 42% chances that both units will meet their objectives.

the probability that one or the other but not both of the units will be successful is given by

$P(R\cup B)=P(R)+P(B)-P(R\cap B)\\\\P(R\cup B)=0.60+0.70-0.42\\\\P(R\cup B)=0.88\\\\P(R\cup B)=88\%$

Hence, there are 88% chances that one or the other but not both of the units will be successful.
