Answer: C.) 4/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

One out of three cards is a winner :

P(winning) = 1 / 3

Therefore, P(not winning) = P(losing) :

1 - P(winning) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

Probability that shenice will first win on her third try can be interpreted as:

1st try = lose, 2nd try: lose, 3rd try : win

P(losing) × p(losing) × p(winning)

(2/3) × (2/3) × (1/3)

4 / 27

Probability of first winning on third try = 4/27

Morgan, Dakota and Taylor showed their work solving the equation 7x+5x+1=73. Identify the student with the invalid first step an
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation solved by Morgan, Dakota and Taylor expressed as 7x+5x+1=73, to get the value of x, the valid steps are as shown;

7x+5x+1=73

take the sum of 7x and 5x

12x+ 1 = 73

subtract 1 from both sides

12x+1-1 = 73-1

12x = 72

Divide both sides by 12

12x/12 = 72/12

x = 6

Based on the calculation above, the students with invalid first step is Dakota.

<em>Dakota added 5x with 1 to get 6x which is an invalid step because 1 is not attached to a variable x. A function cannot be added to a constant hence making his first step invalid.</em>

anygoal [31]

Answer:

828.7 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer a question in which the total time has to be calculated of all the activities, first of all, all the times have to be converted to a single form. There are two types: decimals and fractions. Convert the fractions into decimals.

Department A = 202.50 hours.

Department B = 212 3⁄4 hours  = 212.75 hours.

Department C = 198.25 hours.

Department D = 215 1⁄5 hours = 215.20 hours.

Therefore, the total number of hours spent on this project by all four departments. is the sum of all the above numbers. 202.50 hours + 212.75 hours + 198.25 hours + 215.20 hours = 828.7 hours.

Therefore, the total time is 828.7 hours!!!
