Answer:

66.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that it is blue or odd, would be the quotient between the marbles of these characteristics and the total number of marbles.

Now, we know that there are four blue marbles altogether. The odd ones, in the case of the red ones since there are eight, are the marbles 1,3,5,7 and in the blue ones the odd ones are not counted because they are already included as blue; therefore there are a total of four odd marbles. In total, between odd and blue there are eight marbles.

Which means that the probability is as follows, knowing that there are a total of 12 marbles:

8/12 = 0.666, that is, there is 66.6% chance that the marble that is drawn is blue or an odd number.

If f(x) = 6 - 5x, what is f(x)^-1? (check attachment)
SCORPION-xisa [38]

f(x) = 6-5x

y = 6-5x .... replace f(x) with y

x = 6-5y .... swap x and y; solve for y

x+5y = 6

5y = 6-x

y = (6-x)/5

f^{-1}(x) = \frac{6-x}{5} ... replace y with the inverse function notation

An iceberg weighs 450,000 lb. If it loses 0.2% of its weight during the day, what is its new weight at the end of the day?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: The weight of the iceberg at the end of the day will be 449,100 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation: The question is solved by first calculating what the loss of weight is during the day. The question indicates that it will lose .2%. In order to calculate the loss you need to multiply 450,000 x .002, which equals 900. Next, we subtract the weight loss from the original weight to determine the end of day weight. 450,000 - 900 = 449,100 lbs.

Calculate the lateral area of the cube if the perimeter of the base is 12 units
Brums [2.3K]

The lateral area of the cube is 36 sq units

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given:

Perimeter of the base of the cube = 12 units

Base of the cube has 4 sides

So, the perimeter of the base = 4a

where,

a is the length of one side

Thus,

4a = 12 units

a = 3 units

Lateral surface area of the cube = 4a²

A = 4 X (3)²

A = 36 sq units

Therefore, the lateral area of the cube is 36 sq units

At First Class Pizza, 12% of the pizzas made yesterday were pepperoni pizzas. If 27 pizzas have pepperoni, how many pizzas were
gogolik [260]

Answer: 225

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of pizza made be represented by x.

Therefore, the situation in the question can be written as:

12% × x = 27

12/100 × x = 27

0.12 × x = 27

0.12x = 27

Divide both side by 0.12

0.12x/0.12 = 27/0.12

x = 225

The total pizza made was 225.
