Answer: 48

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define the number of cakes they baked in term of x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the number of cakes Kay baked be x

Kay = x
Tim = 3x                ← Tim baked 3 times as many as Kay
Griff = 1.5x            ← Griff baked 1/2 as many as Tim

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation and solve for x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total number of cakes baked was 88.

x + 3x + 1.5x = 88        ← Combine like terms
5.5 x = 88                     ← Divide by 5.5
÷5.5    ÷5.5
x = 16

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of cakes each baked
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kay = x = 16
TIm = 3x = 16 x 3 = 48
Griff = 1.5x = 1.5(16) = 24

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Tim baked 48 cakes.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consider a situation in which p(x) = and p(y) = . if p(x and y) is = , which best describes the events? they are independent bec
jeka94

Considering the given probabilities, it is found that the correct option about whether the events are independent is given as follows:

p(x) · p(y) = p(x and y). They are independent because p(x) p(y) = p(x and y).

<h3>What are independent events?</h3>

Two events, A and B are independent, if:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)

Researching this problem on the internet, the probabilities are given as follows:

P(X) = \frac{4}{5}, P(Y) = \frac{1}{4}, P(X \cap Y) = \frac{1}{5}

Hence:

P(X)P(Y) = \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{5} = P(X \cap Y)

Hence the events are independent and the correct option is given by:

p(x) · p(y) = p(x and y). They are independent because p(x) p(y) = p(x and y).

Solve for x and find the missing angles.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

5x = 2x + 24 ( opposite angles are equal)

5x - 2x = 24

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

<h3>X = 8</h3>

5x = 5 × 8 = 40

2x + 24 = 2(8)+24 = 16 +24 = 40
