Answer: 112 pieces


Step-by-step explanation:

1. Rewrite 3^{\frac{3}{5}} as a decimal. Divide the numerator and the denominator of the fractional part and add it to the integer part:

3+0.6=3.6in

2. You know that each metal rod is 15 inches long. Then, you must divide the lenght of each one by 3.6:

pieces=\frac{15in}{3.6in}4.16

3. The waste is 0.16, therefore, you obtain 4 pieces from a metal rod. The total pieces obtained from 28 metal rods are:

total=4pieces*28=112pieces

<u>Answer:</u>

116 whole pieces

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We have a 28 metal rods that are 15 inches long each, out of which we need to cut 3\frac{3}{5} inches long metal rods.

Firstly, we will convert the mix fraction into improper fraction and then divide the total length of the rod by it.

3\frac{3}{5} inches = \frac{18}{5} inches

Dividing the total length of rod by this length and multiplying it by 28 to get:

\frac{15}{\frac{18}{5} } = 28 (15 * \frac{5}{18}) = 116.6

Therefore, 116 whole pieces can be cut from the given length of rod.

When making a fruit salad, a chef chooses 7 fruits from 10 that are in season. how many different fruit salads can the chef crea
Furkat [3]
For this example, we must combine not permutate; this because a salad in which you first use apple then tomato is the same as the one in which you use first tomato then apple, so order does not matter.

Me must do "10 combine 7" which is written by the binomial coefficient (_{7} ^{10}); in general a binomial coefficient is written by:
(_{k} ^{n})= \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

In which n and k are positive integers, such that n\ \textgreater \ k.

So, for this problem:
(_{7} ^{10})= \frac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}=\frac{10!}{7!3!}= \frac{10*9*8}{3*2}=10*3*4=120

Hence, there are 120 different ways to make the fruit salad.

Find the Value of X (angles)
STatiana [176]

Answer:

x= 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The  two angles add to 180 degrees since they form a straight line

2x+70 =180

Subtract 70 from each side

2x+70-70=180-70

2x= 110

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 110/2

x= 55

What is the 82nd term of the sequence below?
AlexFokin [52]
The rule to find the term is: y=225-4x
you want to know the 82nd term which occurs when x=82 therefore
y = 225-(4 x 82) = -103


82nd term = -103

Find the probability​ p(e or​ f) if e and f are mutually​ exclusive, ​p(e)equals 0.25​, and ​p(f)equals 0.51.
Masteriza [31]

The definition of two events being mutually exclusive (or disjoint) only means that it is not possible for the two events to occur together. Given two events, E and F, they are mutually exclusive and also mean independent.

In this case, since events E and F are mutually exclusive, therefore the probability that either E or F will occur will simply be the sum of two events.

P (E or F) = P (E) + P (F)

P (E or F) = 0.25 + 0.51

P (E or F) = 0.76

 

Therefore this means that there is a 76% probability that either E or F will occur.
