Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by reducing the ratio to its smallest value. This is the same as 1:14

We know from the question that the number of apple eater takes the 14 ratio part. We can make the calculations for the total number first then make a subtraction to get the number of apple eaters.

Firstly, we add the ratios together:

1 + 14 = 15

Let the total number of reindeers be T

14/15 * T = 517

T = (15 * 517)/14 = 554

To get the the number of apple loving Reindeers, we then subtract.

This is 554 - 517 = 37

Suppose a2 + 4a + 3 represents the area of a rectangle. What is the perimeter of that rectangle? A) 2a + 4 B) 4a + 8 C) 6a + 12
allsm [11]
A² + 4a + 3
(a+3)(a+1)         This is the length and the width of the rectangle.

Perimeter = length + length + width + width
P = (a+3) + (a+3) + (a+1) + (a+1)
P = a + a + a + a + 3 + 3 + 1 + 1
P = 4a + 6 + 2
P = 4a + 8

B) 4a + 8

You are randomly selecting 3 cans of regular and diet cola, but assume that there are 6 cans of regular cola and 7 cans of diet
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:0.367

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 6 cans of regular and 7 cans of diet cola

number of ways of selecting 2 regular colas and 1 can of diet cola is

\Rightarrow ^6C_2\times ^7C_1

The total no of ways of selecting 3 items out of 13 items is

\Rightarrow ^{13}C_3

Probability is

\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{^6C_2\times ^7C_1}{^{13}C_3}=\dfrac{105}{286}\\\Rightarrow P=0.367

Help please! it'll be greatly appreciated ​
Helen [10]

Answer:

B= 17.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a triangle is BH1/2

The word problem gives you the area and the height

Set the problem:

369.25= 42.4(1/2)(B)

42.4(1/2)=21.2

369.25=21.2B

Divide both sides by 21.2 to isolate the variable

17.41=B

Hope this helps! :)
