Let's let "5x" represent the number of boys in the school play and "7x" represent the number of girls in the school play.  5x = boys 7x = girls  If we know that the total number of students in the play equals 48, then that must be that both the number of boys and girls combined must equal 48:  5x + 7x = 48 12x = 48 x = 4  Now, take your x-value and plug it into both the boys' and girls' values to figure out how many boys and girls there are in the play:  5x = 5 (4) = 20 boys 

7x = 7 (4) = 28 girls  To find out how many more girls there are than boys in the play, just subtract the number of girls minus the number of boys:  # girls - # boys = 28 - 20 = 8  This means that there are 8 more girls than boys in the school play

Answer:

The probability of a big storm is 40%.

Now, you can find a D10 (a die with 10 faces)

You can assign 4 numbers (0, 1, 2, 3) to the event "there is a major storm"

in this way, you have 40% of having a storm.

and the other 6 numbers (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) to the event "there is not a major storm". This means that we have 60% of not having a storm.

now, when you roll the dice you can see if a year there will be a storm or not.

Now, you roll the dice 5 times (for the 5 years) and take note of the results and the number of storms in those 5 rolls.

Now do the same thing a bunch of times, at least 25 times.

Now, you recorded the results in each set of rolls, now see the number of sets that have at least years with storms.

Take that number and divide it by the total number of sets of data (in this case 25, for example)

The result is the probability that we are looking for.

Solve the equation
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

.20x + .68(120 - x) = .54(120) (Distribute .68 to 120 and -x)

.20x + 81.6 - .68x = .54(120) (multiply .54 and 120)

.20x + 81.6 - .68x = 69.6 ( add .20x and -.68x)

-.48x + 81.6 = 69.6 ( subtract 81.6 on each side)

-.48x = -12 (divide -12 by -.48)

x = 25
