For A:
You add the probabilities to get the answer to A: = .75, or 3/4
Note that the probability of ALL THREE of them hitting would be 1/3 x 1/4 x 1/5.
For B:
2/3 and 3/4 is the probability of the other two people MISSING (the remainder of 1/3, 1/4)
1.0 = 100% chance to hit the target, so 1.0 x 2/3 x 3/4 = 1/2
Mark's chance of hitting is 1/5, so do 1/2 x 1/5, = 1/10
First we multiply the numbers ignoring the decimal and then place the decimal in the position
3.04 *7.091 = 2155664
Now the first number has two digits after the decimal and the second number has three digits after the decimal.
Therefore in the final result we have to move the decimal (2+3) =5 place from the left,
So the answer would be 21.55664
So, the correct answer is 21.55664
Jerry calculated the answer correctly , but made an error in the placement of the decimal point. The answer is not reasonable because 2.155664 and 21.55664 mean two completely different answer far apart from each other
The only one that wouldn’t change the y-value is a reflection across the y-axis.
Let's say the cost of student tickets is x and the cost of adult tickets is y. Then:
(1) 12y + 6x = 138
(2) 5y + 11x = 100
If we rearrange equation (1) we get:
12y = 138 - 6x
Now divide each side by 12:
y = 11.5 - 0.5x
We can now substitute this into equation (2):
5(11.5 - 0.5x) + 11x = 100
57.5 - 2.5x + 11x = 100
8.5x = 42.5
x = 5, therefor the cost of a student ticket is $5.00
