First make the fractions into decimals so it's easier to compare them.

1/2 ⇒ 0.5
2/3 ⇒ 0.66
2/5 ⇒ 0.4
3/4 ⇒ 0.75

Now it's easy to order the numbers from least to greatest.

First order the decimals.

0.4, 0.5, 0.66, 0.75

Now order them with their corresponding fractions.

2/5, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 is your answer.

A batch of 580 containers for frozen orange juice contains 8 that are defective. Two are selected, at random, without replacemen

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

a. 0.12109

b. 0.0001668

c .0.9726

d. 0.01038

e. 0.01211

f. 0.000001731

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size = 580

Defective units = 8

Number of picks = 2

a) If the first container is defective, there 7 defective containers left in a population of 579. The probability of selecting a defective one is:

$P=\frac{7}{579}=0.121$

b) The probability that both are defective is given by:

$P=\frac{8}{580}*\frac{7}{579}= 0.000167$

c) The probability that both are acceptable is given by:

$P=\frac{580-8}{580}*\frac{579-8}{579}= 0.9726$

d) In this case, two defective units were removed from the batch, the probability that the third is also defective is:

$P=\frac{6}{578}}= 0.0104$

e) In this case, one acceptable and one defective unit were removed from the batch, the probability that the third is also defective is:

$P=\frac{7}{578}= 0.01211$

f) The probability that all three are defective is given by:

$P=\frac{8}{580}*\frac{7}{579}*\frac{6}{578} = 0.000001731$

Bill mixes candy costing 45cents per pound with candy costing 65cents a pound. A 7-pound box of the mix costs $3.65. How much of

Len [333]

Answer:

Bill should use 4.5 pounds of the candy costing 45 cents and 2.5 pounds of the candy costing 65 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can say that the sum of the pounds of each type of candy is equal to 7, which can be expressed as:

x+y=7

Also, the statement indicates the 7 pound box costs $3.65 and you can say that the sum of the results of multiplying the price of each candy for the number of pounds is equal to $3.65, which is:

0.45x+0.65y=3.65

You have the following equations:

x+y=7 (1)

0.45x+0.65y=3.65 (2)

Now, you have to solve for x in (1):

x=7-y (3)

Then, you have to replace (3) in (2):

0.45(7-y)+0.65y=3.65

3.15-0.45y+0.65y=3.65

0.20y=0.50

y=0.50/0.20

y=2.5

Finally, you can replace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=7-y

x=7-2.5

x=4.5

According to this, the answer is that Bill should use 4.5 pounds of the candy costing 45 cents and 2.5 pounds of the candy costing 65 cents.

I need help with a math question that is 0.1x = 5/y

BabaBlast [244]

Unfortunately you have not included the directions. Are you supposed to solve for x? or for y?

Suppose the directions say, "Solve for x." Then, clear out the decimal fraction by mult. both sides of the given equation by 10. This will give you the solution, that is, a formula for x in terms of y.
