Answer:

P = 0.55   or  55 %

Step-by-step explanation:

First step:  Fred has probability of 0,5 when chossing jar 1 or jar 2

Second step : The probability of chossing one chocolate chp cookie in jar 1 is 3/5 and from the jar 2 is 1/2

Then the probability of Fred to get a chocolate chip cookie is

P ( get a chocolate chip cookie ) =( 0.5 * 3/5) +( 0.5* 1/2)

P = 0.3 + 0.25

P = 0.55   or  55 %

A musical instrument has a pitch of 220 hertz when the wavelength is 3 feet. When the wavelength is 4 feet, the pitch is 165 her
earnstyle [38]
We know that
Inverse Variation is a<span> relationship between two variables in which the product is a constant
so
let
x------> a pitch of a musical instrument
y------> </span><span>the wavelength
x*y=k

find the value of k

for x=</span><span>220 hertz   y=3 ft
</span><span>x*y=k
220*3=k
k=660

</span>for x=165 hertz   y=4 ft
x*y=k
165*4=660
k=660<span>

the answer part a) is
</span><span>the type of variation between pitch and wavelength is an inverse variation
</span>
part b) <span>What is the pitch when the wavelength is 5 feet?
x=?
y=5 ft
k=660
x*y=k------> solve for x
x=k/y----------> x=660/5-----> x=132 hertz

the answer Part b) is
132 hertz</span>

Solve for the width in the formula for the area of a triangle
zmey [24]

Answer: \frac{2A}{h} = w

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of a triangle is A = wh\frac{1}{2}

Now we have to isolate for w.

First multiply by the 2 which is the reciprocal of 1/2 to cancel it out.

2A = wh\\

Now divide by h to isolate w.

\frac{2A}{h} = w
