Answer:

1211/10905

Step-by-step explanation:

In the beginning, the probability to pick a nut piece is 1212/3636. Once you eat it you have 3635 candies left, of which 1211 are nuts, and therefore the probability to pick nut again is 1211/3635.

So, the combined probability is 1212/3636 * 1211/3635 = 1/3 * 1211/3635 = 1211/(3*3635) = 1211/10905

louise bought 80 metres of fencing to make an enclosure for her pet dog .tommy if louise expects a rectangular enclosure what is
OleMash [197]

Answer:

400 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest  area is obtained where the enclosure is a square.

I think that's the right answer because a square is a special form of a rectangle.

So the square would be 20 * 20  = 400 m^2.

Proof:

Let the  sides of the rectangle be x and y m long

The area A = xy.

Also the perimeter  2x + 2y = 80

x + y = 40

y = 40 - x.

So substituting for y in A = xy:-

A = x(40 - x)

A = 40x - x^2

For maximum value of A  we find the derivative and equate it to 0:

derivative A' =  40 - 2x = 0

2x = 40

x = 20.

So y = 40 - x

= 40 - 20

=20  

x and y are the same value so x = y.

Therefore for maximum area the rectangle is a square.

a tourist drove his car for the total of 17.5 hours while on a 3-day vacation on the first day he drove 4.5 hours in the second
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1.75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for day 1 : 4.5 hrs

Time for day 2: (4.5 ×2.5)

Time for day 3: let it be denoted by a variable ,say T.

Total Time= 17.5

(Time for day 1 ) + (Time for day 2) +(Time for day 3) =17.5

4.5 + (4.5×2.5) + T = 17.5

4.5+11.25+T =17.5

15.75+T=17.5

T=17.5-15.75

T= 1.75

I really need help ASAP !!
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Graph 1: Consistent Dependent

Graph 2: Consistent Independent

Graph 3: Consistent Dependent

Graph 4: Inconsistent

Step-by-step explanation:

Consistent means they have at least one solution.  So lines that intersect once or lines that intersect infinitely many times are both consistent systems.

If they are the system that has one solution they are considered independent.

If they are the system that has infinitely many solutions then are considered dependent.

Inconsistent means they won't intersect at all.

First graph shows the same line graphed onto itself.  That means they have infinitely many solutions and is therefore a consistent dependent system.

Second graph shows the lines intersecting once.  That means they have one solution and therefore is a consistent independent system.

Third graph shows the same description of graph one and is therefore a consistent dependent system.

The last graph shows parallel lines. Parallel lines do not intersect and therefore do not have a solution.  So this system is inconsistent.

Help me plz, explain it
Darya [45]

The perimeter of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length by 2 and the width by 2 and adding them together.

P = 2L + 2W

Filling in the information given we can find the width:

16.8 = 2(3.6) + 2W

16.8 = 7.2 + 2W

2w = 16.8 - 7.2

2w = 9.6

w = 9.6 / 2

w = 4.8 in.
