3 pencils and 9 pens = 12 total
probability of picking pencil in 1st box is 3/12 which reduces to 1/4

7 pencils and 3 crayons = 10 total
probability of picking pencil from 2nd box is 7/10

probability of both = (1/4 * 7/10) = 7/40 <==

Out of the first box the possibility would be 3:12 or 3 out of 12. The second box would be 7:10 or 7 out of 10

Question 14
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The cost of each bushes is $9.00

The cost of each bonsai trees is $32.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are

The amount the company paid for 15 bushes and 8 bonsai trees = $391

The amount for which the company purchased 9 more bushes and 5 more bonsai trees = $241

Let x represent the cost of each bushes and let y represent the cost of each Bonsai Trees, we have;

15 × x + 8 × y = 391...(1)

9 × x + 5 × y = 241...(2)

We make y the subject of both equations to get;

For equation (1), we have;

15·x + 8·y = 391

15·x + 8·y = 391

8·y = 391 - 15·x

y = 391/8 - 15/8·x

For equation (2), we have;

9 × x + 5 × y = 241

5·y = 241 - 9·x

y = 241/5 - 9/5·x

Equating both equations, gives;

391/8 - 15/8·x = 241/5 - 9/5·x

391/8 - 241/5 = 15/8·x - 9/5·x = 0.075·x

0.675 = 0.075·x

x = 0.675/0.075 = 9

x = 9

Therefore, the cost of each bushes = x = $9.00

From, y = 241/5 - 9/5·x, we have;

y = 241/5 - 9/5×9 = 32

y = 32

Therefore, the cost of each bonsai trees = y = $32.00

What are the x-intercept and y-intercept of the graph of y=−12x+4 ? Drag and drop your answers into the boxes. x-intercept: y-in
ollegr [7]

Answer:

y intercept = 4

x intercept = 1/3

<u>x - intercept</u>

To find the x intercept, substitute 0 for y and solve for x.

0 = -12x + 4

0 = -12 (1/3) + 4

0 = -4 + 4

0 = 0

The x - intercept is 1/3

<u>y - intercept</u>

To find the y intercept, substitute 0 for x and solve for y.

y = -12 (0) + 4

y = 0 + 4

y = 4

The y - intercept is 4.

A school has 1000 students. of these, 3/4 are boys. how many of the students are boys? how many of the students are girls?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

750 students are boys, 250 are girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 of 1000 is 250.

250 + 250 + 250 = 750 boys.

if 3/4 are boys, then 1/4 (the rest of the school population) are girls.

150 students are girls.
