Let the total number of plants = x
one fifth of x = x/5
so number of cucumber plants = x/5
but it is given that there are 8 cucumber plants.

so "x/5 = 8"
it is the required equation to find the number of plants in garden.(x is number of plants in the garden)

prohojiy [21]
<span>To find the answer to this equation, use the result of "27 people" who prefer tea. This is equivalent to 3 out of 10 people in the whole survey sample. Using equivalent fractions to find the total sample, we see that "3/10 = 27/x." Multiplying 3 by 9 gives 27, so multiplying 10 by 9 gives a total sample size of 90 people.</span>

lamont cotton is 4% comission on the first 10,000 of monthly sales mens 10% on all sales over 10,000. last month his 38,00. what
Pani-rosa [81]

Given:

Lamont cotton is 4% commission on the first 10,000 of monthly sales and 10% on all sales over 10,000.

Consider his last month sales is 38,000.

To find:

The total commission.

Solution:

4% commission on the first 10,000 of monthly sales is

10,000\dfrac{4}{100}=400

Sales over 10,000 is

38,000-10,000=28,000

10% commission on all sales over 10,000 is

28,000\times \dfrac{10}{100}=2,800

Now, the total commission is

400+2,800=3,200

Therefore, the total commission is 3,200.

Roger makes 70 gallons of pink paint by mixing 21 gallons of white paint. what part of every gallon is from red paint?
forsale [732]
There are 49 gallons of red paint.
I figured it out by doing the following:

70 \:  -  \: 21 \:  =  \: 49
If you subtract the gallons of pink paint (21) from the total number of gallons (70), then you get the number of gallons of red paint (49) because 49 + 21 = 70. I hope that helps :)

In a certain? country, the true probability of a baby being a boy is 0.534. among the next six randomly selected births in the?
OLEGan [10]
Finding the "probability that at least one is girl" can be done much easier by subtracting the "probability that none is girl" from 1, since these 2 events are the complement of each other, and either one or the other, but never both, may happen.

consider the tree diagram of the problem, check the picture, each branching represents a birth. The only branch where there is no girl (no g), is 

bbbbbb with a probability of (1-0.534=0.466) per each letter b. 

we know that the probability of a particular branch is the multiplication of the probabilities of each letter in the branch.

so in the case, P(bbbbbb)=(0.466)^{6}= 0.01

finally, P(at least 1 girl) = 1- P(no girl)=1-P(bbbbbb)=1-0.01=0.99


Answer: 0.99
