*I'm going to assume you meant stripes.

Answer:

So in total there are 15 chips in the bag.

9 of them are stripes and 6 are numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 9 stripes in the bag.

The probability of getting a stripe is 3/5

This means that for every 5 chips that the contestant pulls out, 3 of them should be stripes. This also means 2 of them are numbers.

So we know that 9 of the chips in the bag are stripes. To find the total number of stripes we should divide 9 by 3/5:

\frac{9}{\frac{3}{5}} = 9 * \frac{5}{3}

So we get:

\frac{45}{3} = 15

One estimate of the population of the world on January 1, 2005, is
inn [45]

Answer:

8,566,379,470 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start simple.  In order to find the population increase on January 1, 2006, we need to multiply 6,486,915,022 by 1.4% and add it to 6,486,915,022.

  1. 6,486,915,022*1.4% = 90,816,810.308
  2. 90,816,810.308+6,486,915,022 = 6,577,731,832.31 people on January 2006.

Note that the above two steps gives the same answer as 6,486,915,022*1.014.

So we need to do this for each year.  20 years pass between 1/1/2005 and 1/1/2025.  

We need to do 6,486,915,022*1.014*1.014*1.014... 20 times.

This is equivalent to 6,486,915,022*1.014^{20}.

Multiplying it out gives us 8566379470.2 = 8,566,379,470 people.

 3.1    Dividing fractions 
To divide fractions, write the divison as multiplication by the reciprocal of the divisor :
a - 3     3 - a       a - 3        21  —————  ÷  —————   =   —————  •  ———————  7        21           7       (3 - a)
 3.2    Rewrite   (3-a)    as  (-1) •  (a-3) Canceling Out : 3.3    Cancel out  (a-3)  which now appears on both sides of the fraction line.
Final result :  -3

EXERCÍCIOS 01) Resolva. A Lino tinha R$430,00 para pagar as seguintes contas R$ 119,00 de energia elétrica, R$65,00 de água e RS
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

$149

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount left for the shopping is shown below;

= Amount have - Electricity bill - Water bill - telephone bill

= $430 - $119  - $65 - $97

= $149

We simply deduct all expenses from the amount available so the remaining amount i.e. left would be considered for shopping

A number is 6 times another number and their difference is 30. What are the numbers? ​
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

x=36

y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

Condition 1

x=6y ----------(1)

Condition 2

x-y=30 ------------(2)

Putting 1 in 2

6y-y=30

5y=30

Dividing both sides by 5

y=6

Now

Putting y=6 in 1

We get

x=6(6)

x=36
