They sold 50 pounds in January.

To find this you just need to divide 250 by 5 since the amount sold in May is 5 times more.

Hope this helps :)

The mathematics department of a college has 6 male professors, 9 female professors, 5 male teaching assistants, and 6 female tea

Hitman42 [59]

Given:

6 male professores

9 female professores

5 male teaching assistants

6 female teaching assistants

Sol:.

$N(A\text{ or B)=N(A)+N(B)-N(A and B)}$

N (professors)

$\begin{gathered} =6+9 \\ =15 \end{gathered}$

N(Male)

$\begin{gathered} =6+5 \\ =11 \end{gathered}$

N(professors and male)

$=6$

N(professors OR male) = N(professors) + N(males) -N(professor OR male)

$\begin{gathered} N(\text{ Professors OR male)=15+11-6} \\ =20 \end{gathered}$

N(People to choose from)

$\begin{gathered} =6+9+5+6 \\ =26 \end{gathered}$

Then probablitiy is:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{20}{26} \\ =\frac{10}{13} \end{gathered}$

Then the probability is 10/13

FIND THE VALUE OF X.<br> 1.<br> (5x - 2)°<br> (3x + 4)

Archy [21]

Answer:

If 5x-2 = 3x+4, then x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-2=3x+4

Add 2 to both sides, and you get 5x=3x+6. Subtract 3x from both sides, and you get 2x=6. Divide both sides by 2, and what's left is x=3. Hope this helps. :)

It gets cut off but it says ' Write the number marked with an arrow on the number line below as an improper (top-heavy) fraction

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

it's 1.2 because

the marked parts on the number line represent a fraction of the whole

so in writing this

it will be decimals

and wen the marked lines between 0 and 1 are counted it is 4

so starting each marked line represent 2

so

0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8,1,1.2,1.4,......

so from 1 the next marked part is 1.2

so the answer is <u>1.2</u>
