Let x be the number of chips.
\frac{8}{x}=\frac{1}{5}
x = 40
The answer is: There are 40 chips in the bag.

Answer:

the number of chips in the bag is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

On a game show, a contestant randomly chooses a chip from a bag that contains numbers and strikes. The theoretical probability of choosing a strike is 1/5.

Let x be the number of chips in the bag

the bag contains 8 strikes

the probability of choosing a strike from 8 strikes is 8/x

given probability of choosing a strike is 1/5

\frac{1}{5} =\frac{8}{x}

cross multiply it

x= 40

So, the number of chips in the bag is 40

Substitute 2m + n =0 and m + 2n =3
melamori03 [73]

There are several ways you can solve this problem if you're trying to solve for m and n. You can substitute, or systems of equations. However, I'm going to use substitution:

2m + n = 0 => n = -2m

We can input that in for the other equation:

m + 2n = 3 now becomes: m + 2(-2m) = 3

Now we can solve:

m + 2(−2m) = 3

m + −4m = 3

(m + −4m) = 3 (Combine Like Terms)

−3m=3

m = -1

Now we can input that value in to solve for n:

We said that n = -2m, and m = -1, so n = -2(-1):Answer:

n = 2

Your final answer is m = -1, and n = 2, which can also be written as (m,n) = (-1,2)

----------------------

However, if you were solving for m+n:

You would add the two equations!:

2m + n = 0

m + 2n = 3

----------

3m + 3n = 3

Now, you can take 3 common:

3(m+n) = 3

m + n = 1

Your final answer for what m + n equals 1!

Use all 2,4,6,8 Once and any operation and brackets to find two equations that equal 24
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

It is given that by using 2,4,6,8 once and any operation and brackets we have to make two equations which is equal to 24.

1. [8×6]÷(4-2)=48÷2=24 [ First multiplied 8 and 6 keeping them in a bigger bracket then divided by (4-2=2) by keeping it in a single smaller bracket.

2. [8×4]- (6+2)=32 -8=24 [Multiply 8 and 4 and then subtract (6+2=8) from it.This is equal to 24.

These are the two equations that i wrote for you , you can find many more by yourself.
