Batch size = 280 purifiers
Defectives = 12 purifiers

Then,
P(defective) = defectives/batch size = 12/280 =3/70

As a percentage:
P(defective) = (3/70)*100 = 4.29%

Beth is 5 years younger than Celeste. Next year, their ages will have a sum equal to 57. How old ech now?
RSB [31]

Celeste is 30 and Beth is 25

let x be Celeste's age now then Beth is x - 5

next year they will be 1 year older

Celeste's age will be x + 1 and Beth will be x - 5 + 1 = x - 4

the sum of their ages is therefore

x + 1 + x - 4 = 57

2x - 3 = 57 ( add 3 to both sides )

2x = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 30

Celeste is 30 and Beth is 30 - 5 = 25

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

I say 90 because 24 is just a little higher than 1/4 of 80 and since 1/4 of 300 is 75, 90 is the best estimate based off the sample survey. Hope this helps!

1/4 pound of green grapes and 2/3 pound of red grapes She ate 1/2 pound of the grapes . What is the amount of grapes Natasha has
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

5/12 left

Step-by-step explanation:

1- you need to take 1/4 and 2/3 and find a common denominator, to find the exact amount of pounds.

2- Once you have 3/12 and 8/12, add them to get 11/12.

3-Now you know you don't have a full pound. Then subtract 1/2 from 11/12 ->

11/12 - 6/12 = 5/12
