Answer:

35/522 ≈ 0.067

Step-by-step explanation:

There are initially 29 names in the hat, 15 of which are girls' names.  So the probability is 15/29.

There are now 28 names in the hat, 14 of which are boys' names.  So the probability is 14/28.

There are now 27 names in the hat, and 14 girls' names.  So the probability is 14/27.

Finally, there are 26 names in the hat, and 13 boys' names.  So the probability is 13/26.

The total probability is:

P = (15/29) (14/28) (14/27) (13/26)

P = 35/522

P ≈ 0.067

Kirsten is driving to a city that is 275 miles away. When Kirsten left home, she had 10 gallons of gas in her car. Assume that h
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

(a). Assuming consumption is only dependent upon miles driven, the function is defined as :

Amount of gas left after driving x miles  :

f(x)=10-\frac{x}{25}

(b). The y-intercept is obviously 10. This represents the initial gas in the tank, 10 gallons.  

(c). The x-intercept is the solution to  

0=10-\frac{x}{25}\\\\10=\frac{x}{25}\\\\\implies x=250  

The x-intercept is 250. It represents the "distance taken by car to empty the tank".

Given the parametric equations x = 7cos θ and y = 5sin θ, which of the following represents the curve and its orientation?
nikitadnepr [17]

We have the following parameters

\begin{gathered} x=7cos\theta \\ y=5sin\theta \end{gathered}

the general equation of a circle with center (0,0) is the following,

x^2+y^2=r^2

Let's use the following tigonometric identity,

sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta=1

solving for cos and sin in the equations we are given,

cos\theta=\frac{x}{7},sin\theta=\frac{y}{5}

replace,

(\frac{y}{5})^2+(\frac{x}{7})^2=1

Since we have two different numbers in the denominator, this is not a circle equation but an elipse, of the form,

\frac{y^2}{a^2}+\frac{x^2}{b^2}=1

where,

a is the vertex and,

b is the covertex

thus, in the x axis, the vertex is 7 and the y-axis the covertex is 5

Now, let's determine the direction by replacing

when Θ = 0 , then x = 7*cos0 = 7*1 = 7 , and y = 5*sin0 = 5*0 = 0

when Θ = 90° or π/2 , then x = 7*cos90° = 7*0 = 0 , and y = 5sin90° = 5*1 = 5

If we draw this, we can see that the direction is counterclockwise as in the bottom right image.

A 9-pound bag of sugar is being split into containers that hold 2/3 of a pound. How many containers will the 9-pound bag create?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: below

Step-by-step explanation: You simply need to divide the total amount of sugar (9 lbs) by the amount that you put into each bag (2/3 lb). This expression looks kind of ugly in this form, so let's instead multiply 9 by the reciprocal of 2/3, which in this case is 3/2. The reciprocal of any number is just 1 divided by the number.

25 liters of water are pumped into a dam in 20 seconds
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

1 minute = 60 seconds.

3 minutes x 60 seconds = 180 seconds.

180 seconds / 20 = 9

25 liters x 9 = 225

Total water in 3 minutes = 225 liters
