Probability is defined as the number of desired outcomes over all possible outcomes. Lets say each second is one possible outcome. This means there is 30 different desired outcomes out of 60 possible outcomes. The probability therefore is 30/60, simplified to 1/2.

A doctor prescribes 150 milligrams of a therapeutic drug that decays by about 15% each hour. To the nearest hour, what is the ha
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount remaining at the end of each hour is 0.85 of the amount at the start of the hour. You want to find the exponent such that ...

... 0.85^x = 0.5 . . . . . x = the number of hours until half is left

... x·log(0.85) = log(0.5) . . . . . take the log to turn it to a linear equation

... x = log(0.5)/log(0.85) ≈ 4.265024

Rounded to the nearest  hour, x = 4.

6) Solve for x. 2/3 (x + 7) = 10 <br><br> A)22 <br><br> B)8 <br><br> C)- 1 /3 <br><br> D)41/ 3
Amiraneli [1.4K]

For this case we must find the value of the variable "x" of the following equation:

\frac {2} {3} (x + 7) = 10

We multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation:

2 (x + 7) = 30

We divide between 2 on both sides of the equation:

(x + 7) = 15\\x + 7 = 15

We subtract 7 on both sides of the equation:

x = 8

Answer:

Option B

The length f a rectangle is 3 ties its width, the perimeter of it is 24cm. what is the area of it?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: 27cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take the width as x and length as 3x( since length is 3 times the width)…

Perimeter of the rectangle is 24 cm( 2*(l+b))= 2×(3x+x):24

2×4x=24

8x=24

X( width): 24/8=3cm

Length= 3x: 3*3=9cm

Area of the rectangle: ( l*w)= 9×3: 27cm²

In a sale there is 25% off all prices. A chair costs £45 in the sale. How much was it before the sale?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

60 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the normal price be p.  The "25%-off" sale price is then 0.75p, and this 0.75p equals 45 pounds.  Dividing both sides by 0.75 results in p = 60 pounds.
