Answer:
the first field (rate 3/4) has 32 square yards and the second field (rate 2/3) has 24 square yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
With the statement we can make a system of 2x2 equations, where:
"x" is the area of the first field
"y" is the area of the second field
However,
x + y = 56 => x = 56 - y
3/4 * x + 2/3 * y = 40
replacing we have:
3/4 * (56 - y) + 2/3 * y = 40
42 - 3/4 * y + 2/3 * y = 40
-0.0833 * y = 40 - 42
y = -2 / -0.0833
y = 24
now for x:
x = 56 - 24
x = 32
This means that the first field (rate 3/4) has 32 square yards and the second field (rate 2/3) has 24 square yards.
Answer:
y = 
x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 3y = 18 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
- 3y = - 2x + 18 ( divide terms by - 3 )
y = x - 6
Total Distance = 4km
Each person takes 4/5km
Calculate the number of times the tent has to change hands:
There are 5 x 10 = 50 different outcomes.
Of them only 3x10, 4x10, 4x9, 4x8, 5x10, 5x9, 5x8, 5x7 and 5x6 are greater or equal than 30. Those are 9 possibilities.
Then 50 - 9 = 41 are the possibilities that the product of the two numbers is less than 30.
The probalility, then, is 41/50 = 0.82
can also be written as 2i
where i = √-1
