Hello,

A good first step to take would be to calculate how much of a barrel John and Mary can drink together in 1 day.


If John can drink 1 barrel in 6 days, then every day he can drink 1/6 of a barrel.
If Mary can drink 1 barrel in 12 days, then every day she can drink 1/12 of a barrel. 

Every day, the total that John and Mary can drink will be (1/6) + (1/12) = (1/4) of a barrel.

If we want to know how many days it will take for them to drink 1 barrel of water together, and they drink 1/4 of a gallon every day, we do 

(1) / (1/4) = 1 * (4/1) = 4 days

It will take 4 days for John and Mary to drink 1 barrel together.

Hope this helps!

I think you can find it graphically by points through a table you create like:

let x = 0, and find the value of y

for example for the first equation when we let x = 0 you find y = 6 and be in the form of (0,6) then draw them or you can let x = -2 or -3 , etc as you like

to be more accurate you can find 3 pionts and start graphing them

these two equations are straight lines and they will intersect in a point

According to a recent article the average number of babies born with significant hearing loss (deafness) is approximately two pe
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability P that exactly two babies were born deaf can be gotten by the binomial distribution as

P = {n\choose k} \, p^k \,(1-p)^{n-k}&#10;

where n is the sample size (the number of babies  randomly surveyed), k is the number of success, i. e., the baby is deaf; and p is the probability of selecting a deaf baby = 2/1000 = 0.002. Therefore

P = {1000\choose 2}\, 0.002^2\, (1-0.002)^{1000-2}&#10;

P = 0.27
