One side of the rectangle is x=2, the other side is 2x-5
Add up all the four sides: (x+2) +(x+2)+(2x-5)+(2x-5)=54
6x-6=54
x=10

#3: suppose the first integer is x, then the second one is x+2
x(x+2)=255
x^2 +2x -255 =0
factor the quadratic equation: (x+17)(x-15)=0
x=-17, which is impossible, or x=15
so the two positive integers are 15 and 17

Violet made cookies for the bake sale. 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip. 3/4 of the remaining cookies are sugar. What frac

FromTheMoon [43]

We know that 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip, so that means there are 3/10 of the cookies left.
We now want to find what 3/4 of 3/10 is.
We can do this by multiplying both fractions
3/4x3/10 (we just multiply across) to get 9/40.
We cannot simplify this answer, so our final answer is 9/40 of the cookies are sugar cookies.

Suppose that 3 balls will be randomly put into 3 buckets, with each ball being equally likely to be put into each of the buckets

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are a total of three buckets and only one can be chosen at a time, this would mean that the probability of a ball being placed in a bucket is 1/3. Since each ball has the same probability of being placed into any bucket regardless of the where the previous ball landed, it means that each ball has the same 1/3 probability of a bucket. In order to find the probability that all three land in the same bucket, we need to multiply this probability together for each one of the balls like so...

$\frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{27}$

Finally, we see that the probability of all three balls landing in the same bucket is $\frac{1}{27}$
