Answer: a package of cookies cost $ 5 and each bag of chips cost $5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of a package of cookies and y represent the cost of a bap of chips ,then from the first statement :

4x + 4y = 40

dividing through by 4 , we have

x + y = 10 ........................... equation 1

From the second statement

3x + 5y = 40 ..................... equation 2

Solving the system of linear equation by substitution method , from equation 1 , make x the subject of the formula , that is

x = 10 - y ................... equation 3

substitute x = 10 - y into equation 2 , we have :

3 (10 - y ) + 5y = 40

30 - 3y + 5y = 40

30 + 2y = 40

subtract 30 from both sides

2y = 40 -30

2y = 10

y = 5

substitute y = 5 into equation 3 , equation 3 becomes

x = 10 - 5

x = 5

Therefore ; a package of cookies cost $ 5 and each bag of chips cost $5

in a classroom training student has to create a triangle pyramid using various items. Each group then used measurement to determ

balandron [24]

The formula for the volume of pyramid is,

$V=\frac{Bh}{3}$

Here, B is base area and height of pyramid.

The volume expression for group 4 is,

$V=\frac{1}{3}\cdot(\frac{8\cdot4}{2})\cdot9$

Here, expression,

$\frac{8\cdot4}{2}$

represents the base area and 9 represent the height of pyramid.

So height of the pyramid created by group 4 is 9.

You have a 1-gallon paint can in the shape of a cylinder. One gallon is 231 cubic inches. The radius of the can is 3 inches. Wha

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The approximate height of the paint can is 8.2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the cylinder ( can of paint) is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

we have

$V=231\ in^{3}$

$r=3\ in$

$\pi=3.14$

Substitute the values and solve for h

231=(3.14)(3)^{2} h

h=231/(3.14*9)=8.2 in

The probability that a professor arrives on time is 0.8 and the probability that a student arrives on time is 0.6. Assuming thes

saul85 [17]

Answer:

a)0.08 , b)0.4 , C) i)0.84 , ii)0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P(A) = professor arrives on time

P(A) = 0.8

P(B) = Student aarive on time

P(B) = 0.6

According to the question A & B are Independent

P(A∩B) = P(A) . P(B)

Therefore

${A}'$ & ${B}'$ is also independent

${A}'$ = 1-0.8 = 0.2

${B}'$ = 1-0.6 = 0.4

part a)

Probability of both student and the professor are late

P(A'∩B') = P(A') . P(B') (only for independent cases)

= 0.2 x 0.4

= 0.08

Part b)

The probability that the student is late given that the professor is on time

$P(\frac{B'}{A})$ = $\frac{P(B'\cap A)}{P(A)}$ = $\frac{0.4\times 0.8}{0.8}$ = 0.4

Part c)

Assume the events are not independent

Given Data

P $(\frac{{A}'}{{B}'})$ = 0.4

= $\frac{P({A}'\cap {B}')}{P({B}')}$ = 0.4

$P$ $({A}'\cap {B}')$ = 0.4 x P $({B}')$

= 0.4 x 0.4 = 0.16

$P({A}'\cap {B}')$ = 0.16

The probability that at least one of them is on time

$P(A\cup B)$ = 1- $P({A}'\cap {B}')$

= 1 - 0.16 = 0.84

ii)The probability that they are both on time

P $(A\cap B)$ = 1 - $P({A}'\cup {B}')$ = 1 - $[P({A}')+P({B}') - P({A}'\cap {B}')]$

= 1 - [0.2+0.4-0.16] = 1-0.44 = 0.56
