Answer:

Hey there!

Jeanette has 3+6, or 9 coins in total.

6 of the coins are dimes.

Thus, the probability of dropping a dime is 6/9, which can be simplified to 2/3.

Let me know if this helps :)

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of (3+6) = 9 coins

P( dime) = dimes / total

              = 6/9

              = 2/3

3. The area of a rectangular deck, in square meters, is given by the polynomial 40p2 + 24p.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Length = 5p + 3

Perimeter = 26p + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area = 40p² + 24p

Width = 8p

Solving for the length of deck

Given that the deck is rectangular in shape.

The area will be calculated as thus;

Area = Length * Width

Substitute 40p² + 24p and 8p for Area and Width respectively

The formula becomes

40p² + 24p = Length * 8p

Factorize both sides

p(40p + 24) = Length * 8 * p

Divide both sides by P

40p + 24 = Length * 8

Factorize both sides, again

8(5p + 3) = Length * 8

Multiply both sides by ⅛

⅛ * 8(5p + 3) = Length * 8 * ⅛

5p + 3 = Length

Length = 5p + 3

Solving for the perimeter of the deck

The perimeter of the deck is calculated as thus

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

Substitute 5p + 3 and 8p for Length and Width, respectively.

Perimeter = 2(5p + 3 + 8p)

Perimeter = 2(5p + 8p + 3)

Perimeter = 2(13p + 3)

Open bracket

Perimeter = 2 * 13p + 2 * 3

Perimeter = 26p + 6

Andre notices that he is a little taller than Lin but is shorter than their math teacher, who is 164 centimeters tall. Write two
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Andre's height:  y < x < 164

Step-by-step explanation:

We will first of all convert each of the statements to mathematical inequalities, before we combine them.

Let Andre's height be = x

Lin's height be = y

The maths teacher's height = 164

Andre is a little taller than Lin:

x > y

Andre is shorter than their maths teacher, who is 164 centimetres

x<164

Combining the two inequalities, we have Andre's height as

y < x < 164

This means that Lin is shorter than Andre who is in turn shorter than the Maths Teacher.
