Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$ pound of turkey you purchase for 10 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity 1 such as 3 meter per second or 4 miles per hour.

As per the statement:

If you can buy 1⁄3 of a pound of turkey for 4 dollars

by definition of unit rate we have;

$\text{Unit rate per dollars} = \frac{\frac{1}{3} }{4} = \frac{1}{12}$ pound of turkey.

We have to find how much can you purchase for 10 dollars.

$\text{Weight of turkey for 10 dollars} = \text{Unit rate per dollars} \times 10$

⇒ $\text{Weight of turkey for 10 dollars}=\frac{1}{12} \times 10 = \frac{5}{6}$ pound

Therefore, $\frac{5}{6}$ pound of turkey you purchase for 10 dollars

Suppose a deck of cards contains 13 cards:

ira [324]

Answer:

$P(G_1) = \frac{5}{13}$

$P(G_2) = \frac{1}{3}$

$P(X \ge 1) = \frac{25}{39}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$G = 5$

$R = 4$

$B = 4$

$n = 13$

Solving (a): $P(G_1)$

This is calculated as:

$P(G_1) = \frac{G}{n}$

$P(G_1) = \frac{5}{13}$

Solving (b): $P(G_2)$

This is calculated as:

$P(G_2) = \frac{G - 1}{n - 1}$ -- this is so because the selection is without replacement

$P(G_2) = \frac{5 - 1}{13 - 1}$

$P(G_2) = \frac{4}{12}$

$P(G_2) = \frac{1}{3}$

Solving (c): $P(X \ge 1)$

Using the complement rule, we have:

$P(X \ge 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

To calculate $P(X = 0)$ , we have:

$G = 5$ --- Green

$G' = 8$ ---- Not green

The probability that both selections are not green is:

$P(X = 0) = P(G'_1) * P(G'_2)$

So, we have:

$P(X = 0) = \frac{G'}{n} * \frac{G'-1}{n-1}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{8}{13} * \frac{8-1}{13-1}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{8}{13} * \frac{7}{12}$

Simplify

$P(X = 0) = \frac{2}{13} * \frac{7}{3}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{14}{39}$

Recall that:

$P(X \ge 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

$P(X \ge 1) = 1 - \frac{14}{39}$

Take LCM

$P(X \ge 1) = \frac{39 -14}{39}$

$P(X \ge 1) = \frac{25}{39}$

A. 8pi<br><br> B. pi<br><br> C. 2pi<br><br> D. 4pi

mestny [16]

Answer: Option C

$AC = 2\pi$

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length is calculated as

$L = \theta * R$

Then

$AC = \theta * R$

We know that

$BC = 24\ ft$

If BC is the diameter of the circumference then the radius R is:

$R = \frac{BC}{2}$

$R = \frac{24}{2}$

$R = 12\ ft$

Now we convert the anglo from degrees to radians $\theta= 30\° * \frac{\pi}{180\°}\\\\\theta=\frac{1}{6}\pi$

Finally

$AC = \frac{1}{6}\pi * 12$

$AC = 2\pi$

How do you solve this

Yes they are equal because lets say the rectangle's area is 14 and if you divide 14 into 2 it will be 7 and 7+7=14
