Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Both do not gain from the exchange. If producing 1 pumpkin is greater than 2 tomatoes, this means that Barney traded for less than he gave out in cost to produce 1 pumpkin. Barney should be demanding more tomatoes to make up the cost of producing 1 pumpkin. Fred makes a gain from the transaction. The selling price of tomatoes are less than a pumpkin. He can therefore sell 1 pumpkin to produce more than 2 tomatoes per pumpkin.

jan, mya, and Sara ran a total of 64 miles last week. jan and mya ran the same number of miles. Sara ran 8 less miles than mya.
Debora [2.8K]
So,

We'll just use A to represent both Jan and Mya's miles, since they ran the same number.

We have the equations:
1. Jan (J) = Mya (M)
2. Sara (S) = M - 8
3. 2A + S = 64
J = M
S = M - 8

We'll just use A to represent both J and M.

S = M - 8

We'll use Elimination by Substitution.
2A + A - 8 = 64

Collect Like Terms
3A - 8 = 64

Add 8 to both sides
3A = 72

Divide both sides by 3
A = 24

Since
A = J
and
A = M
and
J = M
then
J = 24
M = 24

Substitute
S = 24 - 8
S = 16

Check
24 + 24 + 16 = 64
64 = 64 This checks.

So,
J = 24
M = 24
S = 16

There are 95 white pieces of paper in a hat along with 5 blue pieces of paper. What is the theoretical probability that a blind-
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood of an event taking place.

-Given there are 95 white and 5 blue pieces, the total number of papers is 100.

-The theoretical first attempt probability is equivalent to the number of each paper divided by the total:

P(blue)= \frac{no \ of \ blue}{total}\\\\=\frac{5}{100}\\\\=0.05

Hence, the theoretical probability that a blind-folded person draws a blue piece of paper on the first attempt is 0.05 or 5%
