<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Let's look at all the information given to us.

- The tank can hold 13.5 gallons

- It is 2/3 full

And now the question it's asking.

- How many gallons to fill it?

Essentially, it's asking how to make the tank 100% full when it's already 2/3 of the way full.

To solve:

What fraction of the tank needs to be filled up?

100% is also equal to 3/3.

The difference between 2/3 and 100% therefore, can be rewritten as the difference between 3/3 and 2/3. Then it's clearer that the amount the tank needs to be filled is 1/3 of it's maximum capacity.

The maximum capacity is 13.5 gallons.

What's 1/3 of 13.5? To get that, multiply 1/3 by 13.5, to get 4.5.

Therefore, 4.5 is 1/3 of 13.5, and is therefore the amount of gasoline the tank needs to be filled up.

Your answer is 4.5 gallons.

Answer: There are 45 combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the order in which you watch the episodes does not matter, then we can use the combinatory defined as:

If we have N elements, and we want to make groups of K elements, we have

$C(N,K) = \frac{N!}{(N-K)!*K!}$

combinations.

In this case, we have a total of N = 10 episodes, and we want to make groups of K = 2.

Then we have:

$C = (10, 2) = \frac{10!}{8!*2!} = (10*9)/(2) = 5*9 = 45$

There are 45 combinations.

Peter owns a candy store. His starting balance last month was $15,300.

ValentinkaMS [17]

The Time interval is one month, hence the burn rate is the difference between the starting and the ending balance is $2,800

<h3>Monthly Burn Rate Computation</h3>

Given Data

Starting Balance = $15,300

Ending Balance = $12,500

Time Interval = 1 months

Difference between Starting and Ending Balance

= 15,300- 12,500

= 2,800

We have found the difference between the Starting Balance and the ending Balance as $2,800

For each day in New England, the probability that it is mostly cloudy is 0.10 . Cindi is planning to go leaf watching, and her f

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

0,37

Step-by-step explanation:

It will be easier if we noun the events.

A= Cindi's friend comes to England.

B= New England is mostly cloudly.

We are searching the probability of just A doesn´t happen or just A happens but not B.

The probability of A doesn´t happen is one minus the probability of A:

$=(A^{|} )=1-P(A)=1-0.7=0.3$

The events A and B are independent for this reason the probability than both occurs is the product of the probability of each event. It means:

$P(A \cap B)= P(A)P(B)=0.1*0.7=0.07$

The probability of A doesn´t happen or A and B happen is:

$P(A^{|} \cup (A \cap B))= P(A^{|} )+P (A \cap B)-P(A^{|} \cap A\cap B)=0.3+0.07-0=0.37$

Conclusively we have to rest the probability of A doesn´t happen and A and B happen, but A happens and doesn´t happen and the same time is impossible. For this reason, we have the same result.

$P(A^{|} \cup (A \cap B))-P(A^{|} \cap A\cap B)=0.37-0=0.38$

Then the probability either Cindi's friend does not come to New England, or she does come but it is mostly cloudy is 0.37
