a box contains 20 blue marbes, 16 green marbles, and 14 red marbles. two marbles are selected at random. let 3 be the event that

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Let E be the event that the first marble selected is green. Let F be the event that the second marble selected is green. A box contains 20 blue marbles, 16 green marbles and 14 red marbles P(F/E)=15/49 because if the first marble selected is green there are 49 in total and 15 are green. I think this is it.

PLEASE HELP 25PT

Bess [88]

Hi

1.If Mrs.Walters drives 360 miles on 25 gallons of gas , she drives 14.4 miles on 1 gallon of gas .

Work; I made a proportion , but you can just divide 360 and 25 .
x=14.4 miles

If Mr.Walters drives 480 miles on 32 gallons of gas , he drives 15.06 miles on 1 gallon of gas .
x=15.06 miles
2. Mr.Walter because he drives more miles with a gallon .
Work; 15.06 miles is greater than 14.4 miles.

Hope it helps and have a wonderful day.

The area of a circular oil slick on the surface of the sea is increasing at a rate of [150m^2/s] how fast is the radius changing

Akimi4 [234]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$\frac{dA}{dt}=150m^2/s$

a.Radius =25 m

We have to find rate of change of radius.

We know that

Area of circle, $A=\pi r^2$

Differentiate w.r.t time

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Substitute the values then we get

$150=2\pi (25)\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{150}{50\pi}=\frac{3}{\pi} m/s$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{3}{\pi} m/s$

b.A= $1000m^2$

Substitute the values then we get

$1000=\pi r^2$

$\pi=3.14$

$r^2=\frac{1000}{3.14}$

$r=\sqrt{\frac{1000}{3.14}}=17.8m$

$\frac{dA}{dr}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Substitute the values then we get

$150=2\pi(17.8)\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{150}{2\pi(17.8)}=\frac{150}{35.6\pi}$ m/s

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{75}{17.8\pi}$ m/s

Pants $80 buy one at regular pric. Get a second one for half price. (How much for 2 pair?)

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

$200 will be price of 2 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the price of one pant is $80

The second is given at half price which is $40

but in the case of pants buying or anything buying when we are given an off then after buying an item the same discount is given for all

so as he bought one pant then the other pant will be given at half price

now the third pant will also be given at half price i.e: $40

fourth price will also be given at $40

so four pants will become 2 pairs

price of 2 pairs = $80+$40+$40+$40

=$200
