P(Al hits bottle first time) = 1/3
P(Al misses the first shot but hits on his second shot) =  
P( Al misses and bill misses and Al hits) = 2/3 * 3/4 * 1/3 = 1/6

So required probability = 1/3 + 1/6 =  1/2

Haruka hiked several kilometers in the morning. She hiked only 666 kilometers in the afternoon, which was 25\%25%25, percent les
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

She hiked 1,554 kilometers in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the hiking kilometers for morning be x

Given that:

Hiking kilometers in afternoon = 666

According to given condition that afternoon kilometers are 25% less than morning:

x = 666 + 25% of x

By simplifying:

x = 666 + 0.25x

x - 0.25x = 666

0.75x = 666

Dividing both sides by 0.75 we get:

x = 666/0.75

x = 888 kilometers

She hiked 888 kilometers in morning

And

Total = 888 + 666 =1554 km

i hope it will help you!

A factory can work its employees no more than 6 days a week, and no less than 2 days per
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: A.) 2 <= X <= 6

B.) 13 < = X < = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a factory can work its employees no more than 6 days a week, that is, less than or equal to 6 days a week

And also, no less than 2 days per week. That is, greater than or equal to 2 day a week.

Let X represent the number of days an employee can work per week.

According to the first statement,

X < = 6

According to the second statement,

X >= 2

An inequality to represent the range of days an employee can work will be

2 < = X <= 6

To represent the range in hours, first convert the number of days to hour. Given that an employee can work

1 day = 6.5 hours

2 days = 2 × 6.5 = 13 hours

5 days = 6 × 6.5 = 39 hours

Therefore, the range will be

13 < = X < = 39

PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE WILL GIVE BRAINLYEST TO FIRST CORRECT
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Soln:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

Base(b) =9

Opposite/Perpendicular (p)= x

Hypotenus (h) = 24

We know,

(p)^2 = (h)^2 - (b)^2

(x)^2 = (24)^2 - (9)^2

x^2 = 576 - 81

x^2 = 495

x = root under 495

What is the order of operation of 100 + 6² - 9
Kipish [7]
Okay so you would use PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, and subtract) so there are no parentheses so you do the exponents
{6}^{2}  =  36
then you do the rest so 100+36=136 and then 136-9=127 so the answer is 127
