Answer:
a. 1/10 or 10%
b. 1/2 or 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the combination of machines 1, 2 and 3 produce 100% of the total output when added together, then the probability of choosing a bolt at random that is defective is: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10% out of 100% or 10/100, which is 1/10 or 10%.
If the bolt that is choosen at random is defective, than the probability that it came from machine 1 is 5/10 or 1/2 which is also 50%.
Answer:
60 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us use the x to represent the speed of the car since it is the smaller value.
Then, the distance covered by the car is 4x since was going 4 kph.
The distance covered by the train is (x+5) times 7 or 7x+35.
We know that the total distance covered is 640 km.
Using this information, we can set up the equation 4x+7x+35=640.
By subtracting both sides by 35 and combining the x's, we get a new equation of 11x=605.
After this, we divide both sides by 11 and get x=55.
Lastly, we add 5 to 55 since the train is 5 km faster than the car and that x stood for the car.
Train=60 km/h
30 M&Ms
1) Gathering the data
12-ounce bag of trail mix = 18 M&Ms
20-ounce bag=?
2) Assuming that the M&Ms are placed in following a constant rate we can write the following proportion:
12 --------------- 18
20 --------------- y
<em>Cross multiplying it due to the first property of proportions</em>
<em />
12y =20 x 18
12y = 360
y=30
3) So, I'd expect to find 30 M&Ms at a 20-ounce bag of trail mix.
I hope this helped you on your problem
Answer:
Height of the cliff = 13.66 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the height of the cliff is 'x' m and distance between the base of the cliff and the boat is 'y' m.
From right triangle AOC,
tan 30° = 
y = 
------(1)
From right angle triangle BOC,
tan 45° = 
x = y - 10
y = x + 10 -------(2)
From equations (1) and (2),
x = 13.66 m
Therefore, height of the cliff is 13.66 m.
