Bob is reading a 445 page book. He has already read 157 pages. If he reads 24 pages a day, how long will it take him to finish t

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation with y = mx + b, where m is the rate and b is the y-intercept (starting value)

Let x represent how many days it takes and y represent how many pages he read:

445 = 24x + 157

Solve for x:

288 = 24x

12 = x

So, it will take him 12 days to finish the book

sweet [91]

Answer:

No. of times Ellen draws a blue marble = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of red marbles = 3

No. of blue marbles = 2

$\text{Probability of drawing a blue marble = }\frac{\text{No. of possible outcomes}}{\text{Total no. of outcomes}}\\\\P(B)=\frac{2}{5}\\\\No. of draws (n) = 300\\\text{So, total probability = }n\times P(B)\\\\=100\times \frac{2}{5}=120.$

So, the required probability is 120.
