Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is essentially (# times a specific event occurs) / (# times any general event occurs).

Here, the "specific event" is selecting a multiple of four. The multiples of 4 from 1 to 20 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 - there are 5 of these. So, the number of times the specific event can occur is 5.

The "general event" is selecting any number out of the 20. Since there are 20 numbers, then there are 20 ways that a general event occurs.

So, the probability is 5/20 = 1/4.

Answer: There is a 5 in 20 chance that he will select a multiple of 4.  This can also be represented as a percentage as in 25% because 5 out of 20 is the same as 25%

Step-by-step explanation: I got my answer by first figuring out all of the multiples of 4 in 20.  The multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20.  Since there are 5 different multiples that means there are 5 different slips of paper that he can choose that would fulfill the requirements of the given question out of the 20 slips of paper.  I got my percentage because 5/20 is the same as 25/100 which is 25%

Consider the vitamin capsule below.
shusha [124]

Answer:

We have a cylinder and two semispheres.

The volume of a cylinder is equal to:

Vc =h*pi*r^2

where h is the height, r is the radius, and pi = 3.14

We know that the diameter is d = 8.4 mm, and the radius is half of that:

r = 8.4mm/2 = 4.2mm

Then the volume of the cylinder is:

Vc = 15.2mm*3.14*(4.2mm)^2 = 841.9 mm^3

The volume of a sphere is:

Vs = (3/4)*pi*r^3

The radius of the sphere is the same as the radius of the cylinder, and for a semisphere, we have half of the volume written above,

Vss = (3/8)*3.14*(4.2mm)^2 = 87.2mm^3

and we have two of those, so the total volume is:

Vt = 841.9 mm^3 + 2*87.2mm^3 = 1016.3 mm^3

The surface area of the figure is equal to the curved surface of the cylinder plus the surface of the two semispheres.

The curved surface of the cylinder is:

Sc = 2*pi*r*h = 2*3.14*4.2mm*15.2mm  = 400.9 mm^2

The surface of a sphere is:

Ss = 4*pi*r^2

and for each semisphere, we can find the surface by dividing the previous equation by two, but we have two semispheres, so we can jump a step and think the two semispheres as only one sphere.

Ss = 4*3.14*(4.2mm)^2 = 221.6mm^2

The total surface is St = 221.6mm^2 + 400.9 mm^2 = 622.5 mm^2

Nady [450]

Answer:

15 and 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Call x the time taken by the first chap, and y the second.

\left \{ {{x+y = 20 \atop {55x+60y=1125}} \right.

Let's divide by 5 and play with the LHS of the first equation a bit:

11x+ 11y +y = 225\\11(x+y)+y= 225 we know how much x+y is ( first equation!) let's solve.

11(20) +y = 225 \rightarrow y=5 At this point it's easy to check that x=15

Find the surface area of a cylinder that has a raius of 13.5 cm., and a height of 90 cm. Show all work without using a calculato
professor190 [17]

\bf \textit{surface area of a cylinder}\\\\ SA=2\pi r(h+r)~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=13.5\\ h=90 \end{cases}\implies SA=2\pi (13.5)(90+13.5) \\\\\\ SA=27\pi (103.5)\implies SA=2794.5\pi \implies SA\approx 8779.18

well, the last part will be with a calculator, but you can simply use the area in π terms.
