Answer:

<em></em>Probability = \frac{18}{1860480}<em></em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Soda = 10

Sprite = 4

Dr. Pepper = 3

Cherry Coke = 3

Required

Determine the probability of picking Dr. pepper the fourth and fifth

First, we need to sum up the number of drinks

Total = 10 + 4 + 3 + 3

Total = 20

First Selection: Dr. Pepper

P_1= \frac{3}{20}

Since its probability without replacement;

<em>At this stage: Dr. Pepper = 2 and Total = 19</em>

Second Selection: Cherry Coke

P_2= \frac{3}{19}

<em>At this stage: Dr. Pepper = 2; Cherry Coke = 2 and Total = 18</em>

<em></em>

Third Selection: Cherry Coke

P_3= \frac{2}{18}

P_3= \frac{1}{9}

<em>At this stage: Dr. Pepper = 2; Cherry Coke = 1 and Total = 17</em>

<em></em>

Fourth Selection: Dr. Pepper

P_4= \frac{2}{17}

<em>At this stage: Dr. Pepper = 1; Cherry Coke = 1 and Total = 16</em>

<em></em>

Fifth Selection: Dr. Pepper

P_5= \frac{1}{16}

<em></em>

<em>Multiply the calculated probabilities, to give the required probability</em>

<em></em>Probability = P_1 * P_2 * P_3 * P_4 * P_5<em></em>

<em></em>Probability = \frac{3}{20} * \frac{3}{19} * \frac{1}{9} * \frac{2}{17} * \frac{1}{16}<em></em>

<em></em>Probability = \frac{3 * 3 * 1 * 2 * 1}{20 * 19 * 18 * 17 * 16}<em></em>

<em></em>Probability = \frac{18}{1860480}<em></em>

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Check al
natka813 [3]
Find the slope of the line first:
5x - 2y = -6,
y = (5/2)x + 3;
Since we need a line that's perpendicular, m = - (2/5).

The only equation that has the slope of this m is 2x + 5y = -10;

Solve for x. 3x/2 = 15 x = 22 1/2 x = 10 1/2 x = 10 x = 1/10
Leokris [45]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x)/2 = 15 is your question.

Isolate the variable (x). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).

First, multiply 2 to both sides

((3x)/2) = (15)(2)

3x = (15)(2)

3x = 30

Next, to isolate the variable (x), divide 3 from both sides

(3x)/3 = (30)/3

x = 30/3

x = 10

x = 10 is your answer

Answer:

50\:\text{kg water}

Step-by-step explanation:

This question implies the constant rate or proportion of water to mass. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

\frac{60}{90}=\frac{x}{75},\\\\x=\frac{75\cdot 60}{90}=\boxed{50\:\text{kg water}}
