If a 32 ft rope is cut into two sections with one section 7 times as log as the other section, how long is teh shorter piece?

The total length of the rope = 32 ft
It is cut into two sections, say x and y
But one section is seven times the other, say y=7x (shorter section being x)
Solving for x

x+y =32
x+7x = 32
8x=32
x=32/8 = 4 ft.
Therefore, the shorter piece is 4 ft long.

If the probability of surviving a head on car accident at 55 mph is 0.097, then what is the probability of not surviving

BabaBlast [244]

The probability of not surviving a head-on car accident is: 0.903

Step-by-step explanation:

The probabilities of occurrence and non-occurrence of an event add up to one.

If p is the probability that an even will happen and q is the probability that it will not happen

Then

$p+q=1$

Here,

Probability of surviving = p = 0.097

Probability of not surviving = q = ?

$0.097 + q = 1\\q = 1 - 0.097\\q = 0.903$

The probability of not surviving a head-on car accident is: 0.903

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.10 and adult admission is $9.00 .

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

$5.10 X +9.00 Y = 831.60$

We also know that for Wedneday we have two times tickets for adults compared to child so we have

$Y =2x$

And using this condition we have:

$5.10 X + 18 X = 831.60$

And solving for X we got:

$X= \frac{831.60}{23.1}=36$

So then the number of tickets sold for child are 36

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we can set upt the following notation

X = number of tickets for child

Y= number of tickets for adults

And we know that the total revenue for Wednesday was 831.60. So then we can set up the following equation for the total revenue

$5.10 X +9.00 Y = 831.60$

We also know that for Wedneday we have two times tickets for adults compared to child so we have

$Y =2x$

And using this condition we have:

$5.10 X + 18 X = 831.60$

And solving for X we got:

$X= \frac{831.60}{23.1}=36$

So then the number of tickets sold for child are 36
