Answer:

The probability is 53.33%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A model builder has 30 pieces of balsa wood in a box.

4 pieces are 15 inches long.

10 pieces are 12 inches long.

Says rest are 8 inches. So, rest are (30-14=16)

16 pieces are 8 inches long.

Now, we have to tell the probability the builder will pull an 8-inch piece from the box without looking.

The probability is given by=

\frac{number of possible outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

Hence, the probability is : \frac{16}{30} or \frac{8}{15}

If we want this in percentage this is 53.33%.

There is about a 16.5% chance to pull an 8-inch piece, this is theoretical probability though. <span />

A basketball team scored 78 points in their championship win over their rival. The team scored 25 baskets worth 2 points and mad
solong [7]
25(2) + 7(1) + 3x = 78....x represents the number of 3 point shots
50 + 7 + 3x = 78
57 + 3x = 78
3x = 78 - 57
3x = 21
x = 21/3
x = 7....so there were 7 three-point shots made

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to 4x-2y=3 and is passing through the point (2,1)
Temka [501]

Answer:

y= 2x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's rewrite the given equation into the form of y=mx+c, so that we can find the gradient of the line. In this form, m (coefficient of x) is the gradient.

4x -2y= 3

2y= 4x -3

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>throughout</em><em>:</em>

y = 2x - 1 \frac{1}{2}

Thus the gradient is 2.

Parallel lines have the same gradient thus the line would also have a gradient of 2.

Substitute m=2 into the equation:

y= 2x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x=2, y=1,

1= 2(2) +c

1= 4 +c

c= 1 -4

c= -3

Thus, the equation of the line is y= 2x -3.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

w = - 3 and v = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Because w + 6 = 3 you would subtract 6 and whatever you do to one side you would do to the other.
