PolarNik [594]

Answer:

0.00397

Step-by-step explanation:

I am taking a guess. Like I saw this example (5/9)(4/8)(3/7)(2/6)=120/3024=0.0397

Or (5C4)/(9C4)=0.0397 - from chisnau

Follow those steps, but add your numbers . I added one zero bassed on the problem: There are 9 students in a class: 5 boys and 4 girls. If the teacher picks a group of 4 at random, what is the probability that everyone in the group is a boy?

Hope I helped in some way!

A balloon is hovering 800 ft above a lake. The balloon is observed by the crew of a boat as they look upwards at an angle of 20

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a balloon is hovering 800 ft above a lake. The balloon is observed by the crew of a boat as they look upwards at an angle of 20 degrees. Twenty-five seconds later, the crew has to look at an angle of 65 degrees to see the balloon

The distance of the boat from the balloon measured horizontally in the I position = 800 tan 20

After 25 seconds distance of the boat from the balloon measured horizontally in the II position

= 800 tan 65

Distance moved by the boat in 25 seconds

= $800(tan 65-tan 20)\\= 1342.56$

Speed of the boat per second = $\frac{1342.56}{25} \\=53.702$

53.702 feet per second is the speed of boat

Luke mowed a lawn today to earn some extra money. He spent $2.10 on fuel and $4.45 on lunch. He charged $13.50 to mow the lawn.

liberstina [14]

If you add his expenses, $2.10 + $4.45 you’ll get that Luke spent $6.55 today.

Then subtract his expenses by how much he made for mowing the lawn, $13.50 - $6.55 =

Your answer is A. $6.95
