it will take 8 months for these trees to be same height

Further explanation:

Let x be the number of years then,

Type A is 5 feet tall and grows at a rate of 19 inches per year

The expression for Type A is:

5+19x

Type B is 7 feet tall and grows at a rate of 16 inches per year

The expression for Type B is:

7+16x

Putting both of them equal will give us the time in which both to be same height

5+19x=7+16x\\Subtracting 16x from both sides\\5+19x-16x=7+16x-16x\\5+3x=7\\Subtracting 5 from both sides\\5+3x-5=7-5\\3x=2\\x=\frac{2}{3}\\Mutiplying\ numerator\ and\ denominator\ of\ fraction\ by\ 4\\x=\frac{8}{12}

Hence, it will take 8 months for these trees to be same height

A bag contains 6 red tiles, 8 blue tiles, and 6 green tiles. A tile is drawn, the color recorded, and then the tile placed back
tester [92]

Answer:

9 red tiles


Step-by-step explanation:


Total number of tiles: 6+8+6=20

Total number of red tiles: 6


Probability of getting red in one draw:  \frac{6}{20}=0.3

<em>This means that you would expect to get red 0.3  or 30% of the times.</em>

<em>Hence, when you draw tiles 30 times from the bag, you would expect red to be picked 30% of 30 times. This is:</em>

<em>0.3*30=9</em>

So, you would expect to draw a red tile from the bag 9 times.
