There were 472 pieces of bubble gum in the bucket

Step-by-step explanation:

The following clues are given about a bucket of bubble gum

1. There are between 400 - 500 pieces of gum in the bucket

2. The bubble gum was purchased in 4 equally-sized bags

3. The product of all the digits is 56

Let us explain how to solve the problem

∵ The number of the pieces of gum is between 400 and 500

∴ The number of pieces is 3-digit number and its hundred digit is 4

∵ The product of all digits is 56

∵ One of the digit is 4

∵ 56 ÷ 4 = 14

∴ The product of the ten digit and the one digit is 14

∵ 14 = 2 × 7

∴ The ten digit and the one digit are 2 and 7 or 7 and 2

- If the ten digit is 2 and the one digit is 7

∴ The number of pieces is 427

∵ The bubble gum was purchased in 4 equally-sized bags

- That means there were 4 pieces of bubble gum in each bag

∴ The number of pieces must divisible by 4

- The number is divisible by 4 if it is an even number and the number

formed from the ten digit and one digit is divisible by 4

∵ 427 is an odd number

∴ 427 not divisible by 4

- If the ten digit is 7 and the one digit is 2

∴ The number of pieces is 472

∵ 472 is an even number

∵ 72 divisible by 4

∴ 472 is divisible by 4

∴ There are 472 pieces of gum in the bucket

There were 472 pieces of bubble gum in the bucket

60 POINTS PLEASE HELP FAST!!!! write the equation of a line in standard form that passes through the points (-4,-1) and (1.5,2)

liraira [26]

You find your slope with the equation

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(-1-2)/ -4-1.5)

(-3)/(-5.5)

.54x is your slope

you then plug that into your equation.

y=mx+b

y=.54x+b

you substitute one of our coordinates.

(-4,-1)

-1=.54(-4)+b

-1=-3.45+b

+3.45

2.45=b

your equation is

y=.54x+2.45

standard form

y-.54x=2.45

K is the midpoint of JL JK=3x-1 and KL=2x+8 find JL

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

JL = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question that K is the midpoint of JL.

So, JK = KL ......... (1)

Now, given that, JK =3x - 1 and KL = 2x + 8

Therefore, from equation (1), we can write

3x - 1 = 2x + 8

⇒ x = 9

So, JK = 3x - 1 = 3(9) -1 = 26 and KL = 2x + 8 = 2(9) + 8 = 26

Hence, JL = JK + KL = 26 + 26 = 52. (Answer)

A package contains 12 resistors, 3 of which are defective. If 4 are selected, find the probability of getting

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Incomplete question, but I gave a primer on the hypergeometric distribution, which is used to solve this question, so just the formula has to be applied to find the desired probabilities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The resistors are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$
