Answer:

The correct answer is option A,

21/40\\

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of choosing marble from each bag is independent of each other. Thus, the probability of drawing a black and white marble from each bag can be added directly.  

The probability of getting both white marbles  

= 3/8 * 4/10\\=12/80

The probability of getting both black marbles  

5/8 * 6/10\\= 30/80\\

The probability of getting the marbles of same colour is  

12/80 + 30/80\\=42/80\\= 21/40\\

It will be 21/40

probability getting both white marbles

3/8×4/10=12/80

probability getting both black marbles

5/8×6/10=30/80

12/80+30/80=42/80= 21/80

Pls help<br><br> Given: △ABC, CM⊥ AB, BC = 5, AB = 7<br> CA = 4 sqrt(2)<br> Find: CM
babymother [125]

Answer:

The general plan is to find BM and from that CM. You need 2 equations to do that.

Step One

Set up the two equations.

(7 - BM)^2 + CM^2 = (4*sqrt(2) ) ^ 2 = 32

BM^2 + CM^2 = 5^2 = 25

Step Two

Subtract the two equations.

(7 - BM)^2 + CM^2  = 32

BM^2 + CM^2         = 25

(7 - BM)^2 - BM^2 = 7               (3)

Step three

Expand the left side of the new equation labeled (3)

49 - 14BM + BM^2 - BM^2 = 7    

Step 4

Simplify And Solve

49 - 14BM = 7              Subtract 49 from both sides.

-49 - 14BM = 7 - 49

- 14BM = - 42              Divide by - 14

BM = -42 / - 14

BM = 3

Step  Five

Find CM

CM^2 + BM^2 = 5^2

CM^2 + 3^2 = 5^2        Subtract 3^2 from both sides.

CM^2 = 25 - 9            

CM^2 = 16                     Take the square root of both sides.        

sqrt(CM^2) = sqrt(16)

CM = 4    < Answer

In a coffee shop, the average drink is currently $4.50 while the average pastry is $2.25. You've made a total of $5,250 today. W
Kamila [148]

Answer:

4.50x+2.25y=5,250  where x denotes number of drinks and y denotes number of pastries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes number of drinks and y denotes number of pastries.

Cost of the average drink = $4.50

Cost of the average pastry = $2.25

Total amount = $5,250

Therefore,

4.50x+2.25y=5,250
