Each child has a 50% chance to be a girl and 50%chance to be a boy so with 4 children the probability is
$\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{16}$

The length of a rectangle is eight more than twice its width. The perimeter is 96 feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle

blagie [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = L

Width = W

L=8 more than 2W

L = 8 * 2W

L = 16W

Perimeter = 96

perimeter is the lengths of all sides added together

2L + 2W = 96

we have

L = 16W

2L + 2W = 96

let's do substitution

put what L = into 2L + 2W = 96

2(16W) + 2W = 96

can you rearrange that to get w

Mr. Rulaski gives $30 to Bailey and Jenny. If Bailey gets twice as much money as Jenny, how much will Jenny get?

Bond [772]

Total amount of money = amount Jenny receives + amount Bailey receives
$30 = 2j + j
30 = 3j
j = $10

A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 24

3x + 5y = 100

Try elimination.

-3x - 3y = - 72

2y = 28

y = 14

Then x = 10

So, we have 10 3-point problems and 14 5-point problems.
