Let H represent heads and T represent tails.
Writing HH means we get two heads and HT means we get heads first, then tails second, and so on.
We have these four possible outcomes when flipping two coins
Of those four outcomes, two of them have exactly one head show up (HT and TH). The probability of getting exactly one head is 2/4 = 1/2, so this is why Jose is correct.
Answer:
<u></u>
- <u>No. You would have to cut the number of veggie burgers in more than half.</u>
Explanation:
<u>1. Model the situation with a system of equations</u>
<u />
<u>a) Name the variables:</u>
- number of turkey burgers: t
- number of veggie burgers: v
<u />
<u>b) Number of burgers:</u>
<u />
<u>c) Cost of the 50 burgers:</u>
<u>2. Solve that system of equations:</u>
<u />
<u>a) System</u>
<u>b) Mutliply the first equation by 2 and subtract the second equation</u>
- 100 = 2t + 2v
- 90 = 2t + 1.50v
- v = 20 ⇒ t = 50 - 20 = 30
<u />
<u>c) How much would you spend if the next year you buy the double of 20 turkey burgers (40) and the half of 30 veggie burgers (15)</u>
- $2(40) + $1.50(15) = $80 + $22.50 = $102.50
Then, you if you double the number of turkey burgers, and cut the number burgers in half, you would spend more than $90 ($102.50).
You would have to know the height of the 8th graders
