Answer:

The question is incomplete, this is the complete question.;

There are five nickels, five dimes and five quarters in your pocket. You randomly pick three coins and place them on the counter the first coin is a nickel, the second is a dime and the third is a quarter.find the probability of this occurring.

The answer to the question is;

the probability of this occurring is 1/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n(N) =5 ( the number of nickels)

n(D) =5 ( the number of dimes) and

n(Q) = 5 ( the number of quarters)

P(N)= 5/15=1/3 (prob of picking a nickel)

P(D) =5/15=1/3 (prob of picking a dime)

P(Q) = 5/15= 1/3 (prob of picking a quatre)

The probability of picking the three= P(N)×P(D)×P(Q)

= 1/3×1/3×1/3

= 1/27

If two points known on the line AB in the coordinate plane is (7,15) and (18,42), calculate the following..
Ksju [112]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • Slope = 27/11
  • AB = 29.15 u

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>Given :- </u>

  • Two points are given to us .
  • The points are A(7,15) and B(18,42)

<u>To Find</u> :-

  • The slope of the line .
  • The length of line AB .

We can find the slope of the line passing through the points ( x_1,y_1) and ( x_2,y_2)as ,

\implies m = \dfrac{ y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_{1}}

  • Plug in the respective values ,

\implies m = \dfrac{ 42-15}{18-7} \\\\\implies \boxed{ m = \dfrac{ 27}{11 }}

<u>Hence the slope of the line is 27/11 .</u>

\rule{200}2

<u>Finding the length of AB :-</u>

  • We can find the distance between them by using the Distance Formula .

\implies Distance =\sqrt{ (x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\\\\implies Distance =\sqrt{ (18-7)^2+(42-15)^2 }  \\\\\implies Distance =\sqrt{ 11^2 + 27^2 } \\\\\implies Distance =\sqrt{ 121 + 729 } \\\\\implies Distance = \sqrt{ 850} \\\\\implies \boxed{ Distance = 29.15 \ units }

<u>Hence the length of AB is 29.15 units .</u>

In ¾ pound of a banana bread, there is ½ cup of cinnamon. How much cinnamon does the bread contain per pound?
Shkiper50 [21]

1 pound of bread contains \frac{2}{3} cups of cinnamon.

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that , In \frac{3}{4} pound of a banana bread, there is \frac{1}{2} cup of cinnamon

<em><u>To find:</u></em>

Amount of cinnamon per pound in bread

Let "n" be the cinnamon per pound present in bread

\frac{3}{4} pound of banana bread ⇒ \frac{1}{2} cup of cinnamon

Then, 1 pound of bread ⇒ n cups of cinnamon

Now, let us use criss cross method (i.e. multiplying the diagonal ordered terms and equating them)

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \times 1} \\\\ {\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{2}{3}}\end{array}

Hence, 1 pound of bread contains \frac{2}{3} cups of cinnamon.
