Greetings from Brasil...
According to the statement of the question, we can assemble the following system of equation
X = 7 + 3Y i
X + Y = 75 ii
So, multiplying ii by -1 and adding with i
X = 7 + 3Y
- X - Y = - 75
- Y = 7 + 3Y - 75
4Y = 68
Y = 17
for X we will use ii:
X + Y = 75
X + 17 = 75
X = 58
The smaller number is: 17
Answer:
3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find 3/4 of 4/5.
The keyword <em>of</em> tells us that we need to multiply. Therefore:
Multiply:
So, 3/4 of 4/5 is 3/5.
We can confirm this by converting them to decimals.
4/5 is 0.8.
3/4 is 0.75.
0.75 or 75% of 0.8 is indeed 3/5 or 0.6.
Answer:
(a) 20 ways
(b) 0.05 or 5%
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Assuming that the order in which people are chosen does not matter, the number of ways to select 3 people out of possible 6 is given by the following combination.
(b) In a random sampling procedure, every outcome is just as likely to occur. Therefore, the chances that any particular sample will be the one selected are:
