If it is 12:00 p.m and you move the minute hand 90 degrees clockwise, what time will it be?

1 answer:

3 0

90 degrees will be equal to a quarter of an hour, so 15 minutes, therefore it will be 12:15pm
If you would go 90 degrees anti-clockwise it would be 11:45am

Mr. jones has two children. the older child is a girl. what is the probability that both children are girls?

allsm [11]

Since we already know that the older child is a girl (a 100% chance to be a girl), there must be a 50% chance that the other child is a girl. Therefore, the probability that both children are girls is 50%.
Hope this helps!

Which shows a correct order to solve this story problem? Kent and Curtis went to the state fair. They had to pay a total of $7.1

KiRa [710]

The problem is asking how much each person will need to pay. Simplifying the problem into an equation with variables (an algorithm) will greatly help you solve it:

S = Sales Tax = $ 7.18 per any purchase
A = Admission Ticket = $ 22.50 entry price for one person (no tax applied)
F = Food = $ 35.50 purchases for two people

We know the cost for one person was: (22.50) + [(35.50/2) + 7.18] =
$ 47.43 per person. Now we can check each method and see which one is the correct algorithm:

Method A)
[2A + (F + 2S)] / 2 = [ (2)(22.50) + [35.50 + (2)(7.18)] ]/ 2 = $47.43
Method A is the correct answer

Method B)
[(2A + (1/2)F + 2S) /2 = [(2)(22.50) + 35.50(1/2) + (2)7.18] / 2 = $38.55
Wrong answer. This method is incorrect because the tax for both tickets bought are not being used in the equation.

Method C)
[(A + F) / 2 ]+ S = [(22.50 + 35.50) / 2 ] + 7.18 = $35.93
Wrong answer. Incorrect Method. The food cost is being reduced to the cost of one person but admission price is set for two people.
