Answer:

<h2><em>$23.5</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Gene is playing a game with a bag of marbles. If 3 of the marbles are blue, 4 are green, and 7 are yellow and awarded prices for the marbles are $2 green $0.5 yellow $4 blue, the expected payout for Gens game is expressed as shown;

If a blue marble costs $4, 3 blue marbles will cost 3*$4 = $12

If a green marble costs $2, 4 green marbles will cost 4*$2 = $8.0

If a yellow marble costs $0.5, 7 yellow marbles will cost 7*$0.5 = $3.5

Total payout for Gene's game will be the equivalent to $12+ $8 + $3.5 = $23.5.

<em>Hence Gene expected cost will be $21.5</em>

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

cement by 5 Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

add the parts of the ratio, 5 + 4 + 1 = 10 parts

Divide the quantity of concrete by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

110Kg ÷ 10 = 11Kg ← value of 1 part of ratio , thus

5 parts = 5 × 11Kg = 55Kg ← cement required

4 parts = 4 × 11Kg = 44Kg  ← sand required

1 part = 11Kg ← gravel required

He requires 55Kg of concrete but only has 50Kg.

He requires 44Kg of sand and has 55Kg

He requires 11Kg of gravel and has 15Kg

Thus he is 5Kg short of cement.

A = 5 + t
t + 3 = 2/3a

t + 3 = 2/3(5 + t)
t + 3 = 10 + 2t / 3
3t + 9 = 10 + 2t
t = 1

a = 5 + 1
a = 6
