It would take Delia 3 hours longer to re tile their bathroom by herself than it would for kari to retile on her own. If they wor

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

6hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Suppose it took Karl x hours to retile her bathroom,

Then it will take Della 3 hours longer i.e (3+x) hours

If Della and Karl work together or will take them 2 hours

The objective is to determine how long it will take Delia to retile the bathroom alone?

∴

$\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{3+x}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{x+3+x}{x(3+x)}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{2x+3}{3x+x^2}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

By cross multiplying, we have:

2(2x+3) = 3x+x²

4x + 6 = 3x + x²

3x + x² - 4x - 6

x² - x - 6 = 0

Using quadratic equation

x² -3x +2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

(x +2) (x - 3) = 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

x = -2 or x = 3

Since we are concerned about the positive integer,

Then, Karl = x = 3 hours while Della which is (3+x) = 3+3 = 6hours

Help ASAP ?!?? I’m struggling.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

C=3.14D

Circumference is equal to pi multiplied by the diameter, so 50 times 3.14 is equal to 157. 157 is closest to 160.

How do I solve 3|x+10|=6

lianna [129]

Answer:

x=-8 x=-12

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 3 to both sides

|x+10|=2

Set x+10 to equal 2 and -2

x+10=2 x+10=-2

solve both equations

x=-8/-12

Leona has a bag containing letter tiles. Which describes dependent events?

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

a) removing a vowel, not replacing it, and then removing another vowel

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is from the topic Probability. In Probability, a dependent event is one in which the outcome of one event alters or changes the outcome of another event. A classic example of this is seen when sampling without replacement is done. When sampling without replacement is done, the outcome of another event within the same set changes. When sampling with replacement is done, the outcome of the events are independent because every item in the population still has an equal chance of being chosen. However, in the case of sampling without replacement, once an item has been selected from a population, the outcome of every other event after it is altered based on the item that was initially chosen.

Let's assume that the bag has 26 tiles (one for each alphabet from a - z)

Population = 26, consonant = 21, vowel = 5

If a vowel or consonant is removed & is replaced, we have:

Pr (choosing "a") = number of item ÷ population

Pr = 1 ÷ 26 = 1/26

Pr (choosing "y") = 1 ÷ 26 = 1/26

Doing this for over & over again, produces the same probability

However, if an item was selected without replacement, we have:

Pr (choosing "a") = 1 ÷ 26 = 1/26

Without replacement implies that if I choose tile letter "a", tile letter "a" will not be included in subsequent events, hence:

Population = 25

Pr (choosing "u") = 1 ÷ 25 = 1/25

Without replacement, population = 24

Pr (choosing "y") = 1 ÷ 24 = 1/24

So, we see the dependent nature of the events in how that the outcome of the next event is being altered. As such, option a describes a dependent event & is the correct answer
