Answer:

19/240

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we compute the total number of possible times that can show. There are 12 possible hours, and 60 possible minutes, so the total number of possible times is 12 * 60 = 720.

Now we compute the number of palindromes. There are 6 palindromes per hour for the nine hours 1 through 9 (1:01, 1:11, 1:21, 1:31, 1:41, 1:51 for example). There is one palindrome per hour from 10 through 12, namely 10:01, 11:11, and 12:21. Hence, the number of palindromes is 6 * 9 + 3 = 57.

Therefore, the probability that the time is a palindrome is 57/720 = 19/240.

The probability that the digits display a palindrome = 19/240 Ans.

As we know the total no. of possible hours = 12

Total number of possible minutes= 60

Therefore, total no. of possible times that can be shown are = 12

Since total no. of Palindromes possible per hour for the nine hours 1 through 9 = 6

No. of palindromes per hour from 10 through 12 = 1

Therefore, total no of palindromes = (6*9) + 3 = 57

Probability that the digits display a palindrome = 57/720 = 19/240

Andre is preparing for the school play and needs to paint the cardboard castle backdrop that measures  feet by 6 feet.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

a. 85.5 sq ft

b. 3 bottles

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The cardboard is rectangular in shape. How much he needs to paint is the same as the cardboard that he needs to paint.

The area of a rectangle is given as:

A = L * B

where L = length and B = breadth

Therefore, the area of the cardboard having dimensions 14 1/4 feet by 6 feet is:

A = 14 1/4 * 6

A = 57 / 4 * 6 = 85.5 sq feet

He needs to paint 85.5 sq feet of the cardboard.

b. On bottle of paint covers 40 sq feet. The number of bottles he will need for his backdrop will be the area he needs to paint divided by the amount of paint that can cover 40 sq feet:

85.5 / 40 =  2.14

Since the number of bottles he will need is a whole number and its greater than 2, then it must be 3.

To paint the entire cardboard, he must have 3 bottles of paint.

Patrick is working for an hourly wage of $15. if he worked for 28 hours last week, what is his gross pay? $375 $420 $450
Yuri [45]
Patrick's gross pay (GP) is the product of his hourly wage (W) and the number of hours (h) he worked. Expressed mathematically,
                            GP = W x h = ($15 / hour) x (28 hours) = $420
Thus, Patrick's gross pay for last week's work is $420.
