Answer:

12.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cookies eaten by Andy depends on the number eaten by his sister: if Andy eats more, then Alexa eats fewer, and the total always adds up to 24. We want to maximize the number eaten by the brother, so we want to minimize the number eaten by the sister. The smallest positive multiple of the number eaten by Andy is one times that number, which is the number itself. Alexa must eat the same number as Andy, so each sibling eats half the cookies.

In a group of 28 students, 12 study both Art and Biology.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use conditional probability:

P(B | A) = P(B and A) / P(A)

P(B | A) = (12/28) / P(A)

We need to find the probability that a student studies art.

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A and B)

24/28 = P(A) + (12+12)/28 − 12/28

P(A) = 12/28

P(B | A) = (12/28) / (12/28)

P(B | A) = 1

What this means is that all of the students who study art also study biology.

Which ordered pair is a solution to the system?
sweet-ann [11.9K]
Answer: C) (-3, -1)
X = -3 and y= -1

If you apply these values in the inequalities
y < 2x + 1
-3 < -2 + 1
-3 < -1
Since -3 is less than -1 , the values hold true for the first equation

y > -x-5
-3 > -1 - 5
-3 > -6
Since -3 is greater than -6, it also holds true for the 2nd equation
