A) 0.8
B) 0.24
C) 0.56
D) 0.44

For A, since 1 in 5 is dry, 4 in 5 are not; 4/5 = 0.8

For B, we know that 30%, 0.3, of the ones that are not dry are contaminated:
0.3(0.8) = 0.24

For C, 100%-30%=70% of wells that are not dry are not contaminated; 0.7(0.8) = 0.56

For D, she will either have contaminated water or no water:
0.24+0.2 = 0.44

The slope of the line containing the points (-2,3) and (-3,1) is

Irina18 [472]

To calculate the slope containing two points, we can use that formula:

$\mathsf{m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

"m" represents the slope and coordinates are expressed as follows: (x, y)

Let's go to the calculations.

$\mathsf{m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{m=\dfrac{1-3}{-3-(-2)}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{m=\dfrac{-2}{-3+2}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{m=\dfrac{-2}{-1}}\\\\\\ \mathsf{m=\dfrac{2}{1}}\\\\\\ \underline{\mathsf{m=2}}$

The answer is 2 uc.

Esmerelda bought a bag of jelly beans. There were 24 green jelly beans, which made up 8%, percent of all the jelly beans in the

Margarita [4]

So, let's look at the problem once again.

8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.

Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.

We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.

92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)

24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276

276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.

276 plus 24 = 300.

Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.
