2 red, 1 green, 1 blue...total of 4 (sample space 4)

P(drawing red) = 2/4, which reduces to 1/2
without replacing....(now we have sample space of 3, and 1 more red)
P(drawing red) = 1/3

P(both) = 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6

If a quadratic equation with real coefficients has a discriminant of 3 then the two roots must be
lukranit [14]

In a quadratic equation

q(x) = ax^2 + bx + c 

The discriminant is = b^2 - 4ac

We have that discriminant = 3

If b^2 - 4ac > 0, then the roots are real.

If b^2 - 4ac < 0 then the roots are imaginary

<span>In this problem b^2 - 4ac > 0   3 > 0 </span>

then the two roots must be real

A general contractor is constructing a building that requires a concrete foundation that is to be 20 feet by 12 feet and 4 inche
ikadub [295]

First we calculate the volume of the foundation:

Volume (V) = 20 ft * 12 ft * 4 in (1 ft / 12 in)

V = 80 ft^3

 

Since the cost is in cubic yard (yard^3) so convert:

V = 80 ft^3 * (1 yard^3 / 27 ft^3) = 2.963 yard^3

 

So the total cost is:

cost = ($125 / yard^3) * 2.963 yard^3

<span>cost = $370.37</span>

Jack reads his book for 8 minutes before school and 10 minutes after school. He attends school Monday through Friday. Which equa
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

<h2>90 min or 1hr 30 mins</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though the options to choose from are not given in this question we can try and lay our hand on the most likely equation for the number of minutes Jack reads his book.

firstly on a daily Jack reads a total of = 8+10 = 18 mins

He attends school from Mon- fri = 5 days

Now on a weekly basis jack reads = 5*18

in other words, the equation is simply the number of days times the time spent to read his book per day

hence this is  = 90 min or 1hr 30 mins

Max has 5.50. He has eight more quarters than he does nickels. He had four times as many dimes as he has nickels. How many quart
Oliga [24]

Answer:

<h2>There are 13 quarters, 5 nickels and 20 dimes.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • Max has $5.50.
  • He has eight more quarters than he does nickels.
  • He had four times as many dimes as he has nickels.

From these statements, we can deduce algebraical expressions to solve the problem. Let's call q quarters, n nickels and d dimes.

q=n+8 (8 more quarters than nickels)

d=4n (he has four times as many dimes as he has nickels).

0.25q+0.05n+0.10d=5.50 (Max has a total of $5.50, one quartes is $0.25, one nickel is $0.05 and one dime is $0.10).

Let's replace the first two expressions into the third equation

0.25(n+8)+0.05n+0.10(4n)=5.50\\0.25n+2+0.05n+0.40n=5.50\\0.70n=5.50-2\\n=\frac{3.50}{0.70}\\ n=5

There are 5 nickels.

Now, we use this value to find the number of quarters

q=5+8=13

There are 13 quarters.

Also, d=4(5)=20

There are 20 dimes.

Therefore, there are 13 quarters, 5 nickels and 20 dimes.
