The question also states that Lucy has a winning probability of 1/50, which means that she has 1 chance of winning if the total runners were 50. Therefore, there are 49 runners who may be faster than her.

The fact that Lucy is the 50th slowest runner, means that starting from the slowest she is in 50th position, therefore there are 49 runners that are slower than her.

The total number of runners will be the sum of those faster than Lucy, those slower than Lucy and Lucy:
49 + 49 + 1 = 99

There are 99 runners in Lucy's school.

Answer:

hat: $12

t-shirt: $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of 1 hat = h.

Let the price of 1 t-shirt = t.

Julie: h + 2t = 28

Raj: 2h + t = 32

We have a system of 2 equations in 2 variables.

h + 2t = 28

2h + t = 32

Let's use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.

Solve the first equation for h.

h = 28 - 2t

Substitute 28 - 2t for h in the second equation.

2(28 - 2t) + t = 32

56 - 4t + t = 32

56 - 3t = 32

-3t = -24

t = 8

h = 28 - 2t

h = 28 - 2(6)

h = 12

Answer:

hat: $12

t-shirt: $8

The volume of the polyhedron is ______ cm3.
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

50.80 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

the polyhedron is a rectangular pyramid

Volume of a rectangular pyramid = 1/3 x ( width x height x length)

1/3 ( 4 x 5 x 3) = 20 inches

we need to convert inches to cm

1 in = 2.54 cm

20 x 2.54 = 50.80 cm^3

lions [1.4K]
The answer would be C (P=T/2). This can be explained by examining the ratio. If you were to put in the answer of T = 12, then you would be looking for T/2 or 6, assuming we're giving them each half of the amount original held by grandmother.
