What is word problem?

 Our comprehensive list of math problems focuses on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and more specific operations. A math problem is a math question written in one or more sentences that asks a child to apply math knowledge to the "real world." life scenario. This means that children need to be familiar with the vocabulary related to the mathematical symbols they used to understand the meaning of word problems.

Here Mike  spent $11.19 on a bag of red and blue candies and both candies weigh 11 lbs

=>Red candies weigh x lbs

=>Blue candies weigh (11-x) lbs

Here cost of x red candy is

=>$1.29/lb* x lbs of red candy

=> 1.29x

Now ,(11-x) lbs of blue candy costs $0.79 (11-x) = $8.69-0 .79 x

Due to the problem, $8.69 - 0.79 x + 1.29 x = $11.19

or $0.50 x = $11.19 - $8.69 = 2.50 $

or $50 x / 100 = $250 / $100

or $50 x = 250 $

or x = 250/50 = 5, red The candy weighs 5 pounds

The blue candy weighs =11-x=11–5=6 pounds

Therefore mike  bought 5 pounds of red candy and 6 pounds of blue candy.

m_a_m_a [10]
Not 100% sure but Eric can be 18.5 years old and his father can he 51.5 years old.

52 - 33 = 19; 52 + 19 = 71
51 - 33 = 18; 51 + 18 = 69
51.5 - 33 = 18.5; 51.5 + 18.5 = 70

I hope this helps.

Suppose an airport metal detector catches a person with metal 99% of the time. That is, it misses detecting a person with metal
frozen [14]

Answer:

The probability of missing the first metal-carrying person is P(x≤50)=0.395

Step-by-step explanation:

We define as success to: missing metal carrying detection.

p=0.01

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

We look for the probability when all metal carring people is detected so x=0

P(x≤50)=1-P(x=0)=1 - 0.99^{50}=0.395
