Answer:

500 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the total number of grams of the sample is x. We know that 30% of x is salt and we also know this quantity is 150 grams. So, we can write this as:

30% * x = 150

Remember that % is simply "out of 100", so 30% = 30/100 = 0.30. Then:

0.30 * x = 150

Divide both sides by 0.30:

x = 500 grams

Hope this helps!

if a coin is tossed 4 times, the odds of it coming up either heads every time or tails every time are 1:7.What is the probabilit
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

1

Explanation:

From the question, we have it that the probability of heads coming up every time or tail coming up every time is 1:7 if the coin is tossed in 4 tosses

What this means is that we have a probability of 1/8 of head showing up and a probability of 7/8 that a tail will show up in each toss of the coin

For four throws, it means all four are heads or all four are tails

If all four are heads, we have the probability of this happening as:

\text{ (}\frac{1}{8})^{}

if all four are tails, we have the probability as:

\frac{7}{8}

Now, the probability of either heads or all tails after 4 tosses will be:

\text{ }\frac{1}{8}\text{ + }\frac{7}{8}\text{ = 1}

Combine like terms to simplify the expression: 7x + 3y - 2 + 6x + 1 + y^2
a_sh-v [17]

The correct answer is B because after you simplifiy the expression, you would  get that answer:

7x + 3y - 2 + 6x + 1 + y^2

combine all the like terms to one side first

7x + 6x - 2 + 1 + y^2

then simplify

13x - 1 + y^2 or  y^2 + 3y + 13x - 1

5x + 9x if x =3 solve this expressioon
RSB [31]
The answer is actually 42. Not 20.

You replace each x with 3

5(3)+9(3)

That 3 right next to the five means you multiply not add.

15+27=42
