1. If 9 students sharpen 18 pencils in 2 minutes, how many students will it take to sharpen 18 pencils in 1 minute?

1 answer:

6 0

A) If 9 students sharpen 18 pencils in 2 minutes,Then if the time is halved, it will take twice as many men to sharpen 18 pencils.Hence it will take 18 students to sharpen 18 pencils in one minute B) y & 1/x. Then y = K/x where K is our constant of proportionality.Then K = yx. When x = -64 and y = -16 then K = -64 * -16 = 1024. Option DC) When x = 3 y = 8. So for an inverse variation K as calculated from B = 3 * 8 = 24.Then when K = 24 and y = 6; we have 24 = 6x. Hence x = 4. Option A

) An instructor gives his class a set of 18 problems with the information that the next quiz will consist of a random selection

RSB [31]

Answer:

The probability the he or she will answer correctly is 1.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

In all, there are 18 problems. In this question, the order of which the problems are sorted for the quiz makes no difference. For example, if the question A of the quiz is P1 and question B P2, and question A P2 and question B P1, it is the same thing.

There are 18 problems and 9 are going to be selected. So, there is going to be a combination of 9 elements from a set of 18 elements.

A combination of n elements from a set of m objects has the following formula:

$C_{(m,n)} = \frac{m!}{n!(m-n)!}$

In this question, m = 18, n = 9. So the total number of possibilities is:

$T_{p} = C_{(18,9)} = \frac{18!}{9!(18-9)!} = 48620$

Now we have to calculate the number of desired outcomes. This number is a combination of 9 elements from a set of 13 elements(13 is the number of problems that the student has figured out how to do).

Now, m = 13, n = 9. The number of desired possibilities is:

$D_{p} = C_{(13,9)} = \frac{13!}{9!(13-9)!} = 715$

The probability is the number of desired possibilities divided by the number of total possibilities. So

$P = \frac{715}{48620} = 0.015 = 1.5%$

The probability the he or she will answer correctly is 1.5%

ASAP!: can anyone solve three times the difference of Federico age and 4 increased by 7 is greater than 37 what are possible val

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Federcio's age possible values are those that are greater than 14 i.e 15, 16, 17 and so on

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Federico's age = x

Three times the difference of Federico’s age, and 4 means:

3(x - 4)

Increased by 7:

3(x - 4) + 7

Is greater than 37:

3(x - 4) + 7 > 37

Solving the inequality:

3x - 12 + 7 > 37

3x - 5 > 37

3x > 37 + 5

3x > 42

x >42/3

x > 14

Federcio's age possible values are those that are greater than 14

What is the y-coordinate of point W?<br><br> PLS ASAP

sweet [91]

<h3>Answer: -1.5</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

Draw a horizontal line from W to the y axis. You should arrive somewhere between -1 and -2. While this isn't exact, it looks like we should arrive right at the middle of -1 and -2; therefore we should get to -1.5

The y coordinate of W is -1.5

Keep in mind this is based on the assumption we reach the halfway point. Unfortunately, W is not on any horizontal grid lines to be able to determine exactly where W is along the y axis.
