The height, h, of a plant (in inches) w weeks since it was planted is represented by the equations h=3w+3. How many weeks will i

Hatshy [7]

Answer: 3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to note firstly that 12 inches = 1 foot.

The equation given to represent the height in the question, h = 3w + 3.

The number of weeks that it will take the plant to reach one foot will then be:

h = 3w + 3

12 = 3w + 3

3w = 12 - 3

3w = 9

w = 9/3

w = 3

It'll take 3 weeks

Suppose that an urn contains 3 black marbles, 7 yellow marbles, and 10 green marbles. If one marble is selected, determine the p

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple probability is a ratio of the number of ways the thing we want to happen can to the total possible outcomes.

(For example, we flip a coin and want heads, but it can land on heads or tails. Our probability of getting heads is 1/2, one way to get heads over the 2 possible outcomes)

So for this problem, there's 20 possible things that CAN happen (3 + 7 + 10) and 10 ways we get what we want (a green marble).

Our probability of getting a green marble is $\frac{10}{20\\}$ , which simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$
