Answer:
7) x = 5
8) x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
7) 2x-3=x+2
x=5
8) 4x=2x+20
2x=20
x=10
For this case we can make the following rule of three:
1/10 scarf ------> 4/5 hour
x ------------------> 1 hour
Clearing the value of x we have:
x = (1 / (4/5)) * (1/10)
Rewriting we have:
x = (5/4) * (1/10)
x = 5/40
x = 1/8
Answer:
A fraction of a scarf that alison can knit in 1 hour is:
x = 1/8
Answer: 0.145
Step-by-step explanation:
Since,
the Probability of the older pump failing P(fail older) = 0.10
The probability of the newer pump failing P(fail newer) = 0.05
Therefore,
The Probability of the older pump not failing P(not fail older) = 1 - 0.1
P(not fail older) = 0.9
Also,
The probability of the newer pump not failing P(not fail newer) = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95
The probability of the pumping system failing = P(not fail older)* P(not fail newer) = 0.9*0.95
P(not fail system)= 0.855
Therefore,
The probability that the pumping system will fail = 1 - P(not fail system) = 1 - 0.855 = 0.145
The probability that the pumping system will fail one day is 0.145

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
75 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the scale on the map, which is that 1 inch is 25 miles in real life. We can write that as a ratio of 1 inch: 25 miles. Now say we have two inches, then we have 50 miles because we add on another 25 miles, then we do that again and we get to 75 miles.
Another way to think about it (more complicated):
you can represent ratios as a fraction
so we do 1/25=3/x
To find x, we can do (25*3)/1 which equals 75, if you don't know what I did there then you don't know, sorry!
you can also do it in a different way
same scenario though
you represent it as a fraction
and do 1/25=3/x. We see that the ratio from 1 to 3 is multiplied by 3 so that means the ratio from 25 to x is also going to be multiplied by 3, and 25 multiplied by 3 is 75.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
