A foot (or feet) is 12 inches.This means Olivia is four lots of 12 inches tall plus another 10 inches.Four lots of 12 is 48(4x12=48).48+10=58.
However Susan is 15 inches shorter than Olivia so Susan is basically Olivia's height minus 15 inches. Olivia's height, as we know, is 58 inches.
58 inches minus 15 is 43, therefore Susan is 43 inches tall. This means Susan's height equals 43 lots of 1 inch. Because 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters, Susan's height equals 43 lots of 2.54 centimeters. To work this out without a calculator you could get rid of the decimal place and do 43x254=10922. Then, because the number that had the decimal point in had 2 digits after it(2 numbers) you add the decimal place back in 2 places from the right of your answer. In this case, it gives you 109.22. Therefore:
~Olivia's height: 58 inches
~Susan's height: 109.22 centimeters

I hope that helps you and I understand that it's a really long answer but I wasn't sure which bit you couldn't understand. :)

Well, the problem is that he does not replace the first marble after he draws it. Therefore, yes, he has a 2/12 probability of drawing a yellow marble first, but then he has a 4/11 probability of drawing a red marble second, not 4/12. This is because there are going to only be 11 marbles left in the bag after he draws the first marble and does not replace it.

The correct answer would be:
(2/12)(4/11)=8/132=4/66=2/33

Y=x-4 y=4x+2<br> whats the solution of system equations
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

X=-2

Y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both equations are already expressed in the simplest form of y, then we equate them to be equal hence

x-4=4x+2

Bringing like terms together

-4-2=4x-x

Solving both sides

-6=3x

Making x the subject then

X=-6/3=-2

Subsrituting the value of x into any of the initial equations

Y=x-4 then y=-2-4=-6

Therefore, the solution is

X=-2

Y=-6

If the first chapter of a certain book is 16 pages long and makes up 4% of the book, how many pages does the entire book have?
galina1969 [7]
If 16 pages equal to 4%, how many pages will equal to 100%?

4/100 = 16/x
4x=1600
X= 400

So total pages should be 400.
