If 2 1/2 posterboard is enough for 1/2 of the project, it will take another 2 1/2 posterboard to display the other half of the project.

2 1/2 + 2 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 4 + 1 = 5

Moby sold half his toy car collection, and then bought 12 more cars the next day. He now has 48 toy cars. How many cars did he h

castortr0y [4]

Answer: 72 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the number of toys that Moby had to start with.

According to the information given in the exercise, Moby sold half his toy car collection. This can be represented with the following expression:

$\frac{1}{2}x$

Then he bought 12 more cars, giving a total amount of 48 toy cars.

Therefore, the equation that represents this situation is the equation shown below:

$x-\frac{1}{2}x+12=48$

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value.

You get that this is:

$\frac{1}{2}x+12=48\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=48-12\\\\\frac{1}{2}x=36\\\\x=(36)(2)\\\\x=72$

Suppose that the handedness of the last fifteen U.S. presidents is as follows:40% were left-handed (L)47% were Democrats (D)If a

lesantik [10]

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that they were left handed P(L)= 40%

Probability that they were Democrats P(D)= 47%

So, P(L∩D) = 135 = 0.13

Now, to check whether they are independent or not.

We will find P(L) × P(D) is given by

$P(L)\times P(D)=0.47\times 0.40=0.188$

Since P(L) . P(D) ≠ P(L∩D)

So, they are not independent.

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.
