1/2 = 40kg
1/5 = 22kg
1/2 = 5/10
1/5 = 2/10
3/10 is the difference between 18kg.
This means 1/10 of the box filled with apples is 6kg.
40 - (5 x 6) = 10kg. The box weighs 10kg alone.

Answer:

The probability is 0.89 or 89%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability

There are n=27 students in a certain Algebra 2 class. 18 out of them play basketball and 16 of them play baseball.

We also know 3 students play neither sport. This leaves 27-3=24 students playing sports.

The probability that a randomly chosen student plays basketball or baseball is:

$\displastyle p=\frac{24}{27}$

Simplifying:

$\displastyle p=\frac{8}{9}=0.89$

The probability is 0.89 or 89%

Find the missing side lengths. leave your answers as radicals in simplest form.

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

x = 4 , y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine / tangent ratios in the right triangle and the exact values

sin60° = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ and tan60° = $\sqrt{3}$ , then

sin60° = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{x}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$ ( cross- multiply )

x $\sqrt{3}$ = 4 $\sqrt{3}$ ( divide both sides by $\sqrt{3}$ )

x = 4

and

tan60° = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ = $\frac{2\sqrt{3} }{y}$ = $\sqrt{3}$ ( multiply both sides by y )

y $\sqrt{3}$ = 2 $\sqrt{3}$ ( divide both sides by $\sqrt{3}$ )

y = 2
