Answer:

Mr. Martin’s math test, which is worth 100 points, has 35 problems. Each problem is worth either 5 points or 2 points.

Let x = the number of questions worth 5 points.

Let y = the number of questions worth 2 points.

x + y = 35,

5x + 2y = 100

How many problems of each point value are on the test?

10 problems worth 5 points and 25 problems worth 2 points

15 problems worth 5 points and 20 problems worth 2 points

20 problems worth 5 points and 15 problems worth 2 points

25 problems worth 5 points and 10 problems worth 2 points

Answer:

(a) 1/2

(b) 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is given by number of possible outcomes ÷ number of total outcomes

(a) Number of possible outcomes = 5 questions, number of total outcomes = 10 questions

Probability (I answer all 5 problems correctly) = 5/10 = 1/2

(b) Probability (I answer at least 4 of the problems correctly) means I either answer 4 of the problems or all 5 problems correctly = 4/10 + 5/10 = 9/10

ohaa [14]

Answer:

3500 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.

Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.

Therefore:

g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5

That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:

1400 = 2c/5

To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:

1400 = 2c/5

1400 * 5 = 2c

7000 = 2c

c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons

The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.
