Hey there !

Let us take the length of the shorter piece as ' x '

Then, the longer piece would be ' 3 + 5x '

Total = 45

x +  5x + 3 = 45

6x + 3 = 45

Subtracting 3 on both sides

6x = 42

dividing by 6 on both sides

x = 7

shorter wire = 7 ft

longer = 45 - 7

=  38 ft

Hope my answer helps!

Long piece:  5x + 3

Short piece: x

Long   + Short = Total

5x + 3 +    x     = 45

6x + 3 = 45

6x = 42

x = 7

Long piece:  5x + 3   = 5(7) + 3   = 35 + 3   = 38

Answer: short = 7 ft, long = 38 ft

A bag contains Red, Green and Yellow balls. A ball is taken at random from the bag. The probability that it is Red is 0.35 and t
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

  • P(Yellow)=0.25
  • P(Not Red)=0.65

Step-by-step explanation:

P(Red)=0.35

P(Green)=0.4

(a)Since there are three colours inside the bag

P(Red)+P(Green)+P(Yellow)=1

0.35+0.4+P(Yellow)=1

P(Yellow)=1-(0.35+0.4)

P(Yellow)=0.25

(b) In probability, the sum of an event and its complement is 1.

Therefore:

P(Red)+P(Not Red)=1

0.35+P(Not Red)=1

P(Not Red)=1-0.35

P(Not Red)=0.65

If an airplane pilot was told to rotate his plane while he was flying to Honolulu, would that be enough information for her to k

no, this reason being is because lets say she needed to know exact angle. she would need to know which rotational way to turn (left right up down, etc.) if this informaton is given to the pilot, they may be left confused and they make the wrong turn or wrong direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this helps :)
