Answer:

Joseph caught 7 tadpoles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of tadpoles caught by Joseph be x

The number of tadpoles Wendy caught will be ;

9(x + 3)

After Joseph was upset, he released half of Wendy’s tadpole and then six times as many as Joseph caught swam away leaving Wendy with only three tadpoles left;

Hence, mathematically;

9(x + 3)/2 - 6x = 3

Multiply through be 2

9(x + 3) - 12x = 6

9x + 27 -12x = 6

9x -12x = 6-27

3x = 21

x = 21/3

x = 7

If you draw a card with a value of 4 or less from a standard deck of cards, I will pay you 165$ if not your pay me $45. (Aces ar
jekas [21]

Answer: The required expected value is $3.46.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of value of 4 or less are

2,3,4

So, there are 12 in numbers.

So, probability would be

\dfrac{12}{52}

Since Aces are considered as the highest card in the deck.

So, remaining probability would be

\dfrac{40}{12}

Amount paid or value of 4 or less = $165

Amount not paid for other case = $45

So, the expected value would be

\dfrac{12}{52}\times 165-\dfrac{40}{52}\times 45\\\\=\dfrac{1980}{52}-\dfrac{1800}{52}\\\\=\dfrac{180}{52}\\\\=3.46

Hence, the required expected value is $3.46.

Stacie is a resident at the medical facility where you work. You are asked to chart the amount of solid food that she consumes.
katrin2010 [14]

Remark

The general formula is fraction * solid food = amount

Total amount = 1/2 * 3 oz + 3/4 * 3 oz + 1/3 * 2 oz

Total amount = 3/2 oz + (9/4) oz + 2/3 oz

The lowest common denominator of  2 4 and 3 = 12

Total amount = 3*6/2*6 + 9*3/4*3 + 2*4/3*4

Total amount = 18/12 + 27/12 + 8/12

Total amount = 53/12 = 4 5/12 <<< Answer oz of food.

4.42 oz of food <<<< Answer
