Answer:  Flora knitted 3 pairs of socks and 13 pairs of gloves.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Flora takes 3 hours to knit a pair of socks and 7 hours to knit a pair of gloves and she spent 100 hours knitting a total of 16 pairs of socks and gloves.

We are to find the number of pairs of socks and gloves that she knitted.

Let a and b denote the number of pairs of socks and gloves respectively that she knitted.

Then, according to the given information, we have

a+b=16~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\3a+7b=100~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Multiplying equation (i) by 3, we have

3(a+b)=3\times 16\\\\\Rightarrow 3a+3b=48~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)

Subtracting equation (iii) from equation equation (ii), we get

(3a+7b)-(3a+3b)=100-48\\\\\Rightarrow 7b-3b=52\\\\\Rightarrow 4b=52\\\\\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{52}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow b=13.

From equation (i), we get

a+b=16\\\\\Rightarrow a=16-13\\\\\Rightarrow a=3.

Thus, Flora knitted 3 pairs of socks and 13 pairs of gloves.

Miguel and his brother Ario are both standing 3 meters from one side of a 25 meter pool when they decide to race. Miguel offers
nalin [4]
Since both of them are 3 meters from one side of the 25 meter pool, the distance that they have to cover is actually only 22 meters only. To answer this item, we let x be the distance covered by Ario and 22-x be his remaining distance. Such that,
                                 x/(22-x) = 1/4
The value of x from the equation is 4.4. 

Therefore, the distance that Ario had covered is 4.4 m.

Theoretical probability is the probability that an event occurs when all of the outcomes of the experiment are equally likely.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

1. The probability that we select a red marble is 1/3.

We found this out by taking the amount of red marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. The total amount of marbles is 18 and there are red marbles. So, it would become 6 out of 18 or 6/18. Then, we simplify 6/18 to the simplest form. The greatest common factor of both of those numbers is 6. Lastly, we divide each of them by 6 to get the simplest form.

6/18 = (6/6)/(18/6)

(6/6)/(18/6) = 1/3

So, therefore, the theoretical probability of picking a red marble is 1/3.

2. The probability that we select a blue marble is 2/3.

We can find this out by taking the amount of blue marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. We know that the total amount of marble is 18 and there are 12 blue marbles. So, we simply get the GCF (greatest common factor) and divide them by it.

Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 18 = 6

12/18 = (12/6)/(18/6)

(12/6)/(18/6) = 2/3

Thus, the theoretical probability of picking a blue marble is 2/3.

With the remaining 3/4 gallon of honey, Lila decided to bake some loaves of bread and several batches of cookies for her school
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Find the least common denominator for all fractions: 12

3/4 = (3*3)/(4*3) = 9/12
1/6 = (1*2)/(6*2)
1/4 = (1*3)/(4*3)

Take the converted fractions to have the honey used taken away from the original total.
