1. She starts with $255.

2. She purchases 8 books for an unknown cost per book, so she spends 8 * (unknown cost per book).

3. She is left with $15. 

Let's set up an equation:

c= \text{ cost per book}

255-8c=15

Now, we solve. First, we'll subtract 255 from each side:

-8c=-240

Now, we'll divide through by -8:

c=30

The cost per book is $30. Let's check it out:

$30/book * 8 books = $240

She started with $255 and spent $240, which leaves her with $15. Exactly what the original question indicated. We're done. (Those are some expensive books.)

Hi there!

\large\boxed{3\text{ }  \frac{3}{4} cm^3}

Knowing that one cube has side-lengths of 1/2, we can calculate the dimensions for the prism:

Length: 1/2 × 5 = 2.5 cm

Height: 1/2 × 3 = 1.5 cm

Width: 1/2 × 2 = 1 cm

Use this formula to solve for the volume:

V = l × w × h

Thus:

V = 2.5 × 1.5 × 1 = 3.75 cm³

Convert to fraction:

75/100 = 3/4

Thus, the volume in mixed-numbers is 3 3/4 cm³.

1. A man has 5 grandchildren, 4 girls and 1 boy. He thinks this is unusual. If the probability that any child born
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the final probability that this has happened, we must multiply the probability of each event, they tell us that the probability that it is a girl is 1/2 and this happened 4 times, therefore:

(1/2) ^ 4 = 0.0625

that is, the probability that 4 girls are born is 6.25%

an unusual probability is considered when it is less than 5%, therefore, although it approaches this figure, it is not unusual

Digiron [165]

Answer:The surface area of the cube is 100 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

So since a cube has six faces and all of its lengths are equal. we could use the equation.

10^2 *6= 100 *6= 600
