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

A boy throws a ball into the air. The equation h=−16t^2+23t+4 models the path of the ball, where h is the height (in feet) of th
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

0.72secs

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the height of the ball in air modeled by the equation:

h=−16t²+23t+4

Required

Total time it spent in the air

To get this we need to calculate its time at the maximum height

At the maximum height,

v = dh/dt = 0

-32t + 23 = 0

-32t = -23

t = 23/32

t = 0.72secs

<em>Hence the total time it spend in the air will be 0.72secs</em>

Answer:

6.7-(-2.5)=9.2                  6.7+(-2.5)=4.2                          Neither

2.5 + 6.7                          6.7 - 2.5                                  2.5 - 6.7

                                       -2.5 + 6.7                                 -2.5 - 6.7

                                                                                        -6.7 + 2.5

Bill and susan have ages that are consecutive odd integers.The product of their ages 438.Which equation could be used to find bi
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

4 x^{2} + 8 x - 435=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be any natural number

Let the age of Bill= 2 x+ 1  years (Since age is odd integer)

Than, age of a Susan= 2 x + 3 years

Since ages are consecutive odd integers

According to question

(2 x+1)(2 x+ 3)= 438

4 x^{2} + 8 x + 3 = 438

4 x^{2} + 8 x + 3 - 438 =0

4 x^{2} + 8 x - 435=0

This equation can be used to find the ages of both

Hence, the correct answer is 4 x^{2} + 8 x - 435=0
