Answer:

9 White marbles are present in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of White marbles present in the bag be X and number of Yellow marbles present be Y .

Then according to the question ,

X + Y = 16      -(1)        (As total marbles are 16)

Also,

X = 2Y - 5      -(2)

From Equation 1 , X = 16 - Y  , Comparing with Equation 2 , we get,

16 - Y = 2Y - 5

3Y = 21.

Y = 7.

So, X = 16 - Y = 16 - 7 = 9.

Thus, 9 White marbles are present in the bag.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

68oz

1) 3lbs x 16oz = 48

Now we know 3lbs is 48oz. since one pound is 16 ounces, 3 pounds is 48 ounces.

2) 48 + 20 = 68oz

3) The total weight of both packages is 68 ounces.

Find the probability of rolling an odd sum or a sum less than 7 when a pair of dice is rolled
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

For the pairs that satisfy that the sum is less than 7 we have:

(1,1) (2,1) (1,2) (3,1) (2,2) (1,3) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (5,1) (4.2) (3,3) (2,4) (1,5)

So we have a total of 15 pairs where the sum is less than 7

And for an odd sum we have the following pairs

(2,1) (1,2) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (6,2) (5,2) (4,3) (3,4) (2,5) (1,6) (6,3) (5,4) (4,5) (3,6) (6,5) (5,6)

A total of 18 pairs and we have 6 pairs who are in both cases for the sum less than 7 and the sum an odd number that represent the intersection and using the total probability rule we got:

P = \frac{15+18-6}{36}= \frac{27}{33}= 0.818

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case when a pair of dice is rolled we have the following sample pace for the outcomes:

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

We see 36 possible outcomes and we want to find how many of these pairs we got rolling an odd sum or a sum less than 7

For the pairs that satisfy that the sum is less than 7 we have:

(1,1) (2,1) (1,2) (3,1) (2,2) (1,3) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (5,1) (4.2) (3,3) (2,4) (1,5)

So we have a total of 15 pairs where the sum is less than 7

And for an odd sum we have the following pairs

(2,1) (1,2) (4,1) (3,2) (2,3) (1,4) (6,2) (5,2) (4,3) (3,4) (2,5) (1,6) (6,3) (5,4) (4,5) (3,6) (6,5) (5,6)

A total of 18 pairs and we have 6 pairs who are in both cases for the sum less than 7 and the sum an odd number that represent the intersection and using the total probability rule we got:

P = \frac{15+18-6}{36}= \frac{27}{33}= 0.818

Suppose KLMN ~ PQRS. Find the value of x.
arlik [135]

Complete question is attached.

Answer:

B) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, KLMN ~ PQRS. This means they are similar shapes.

From the image, we could denote that:

KL ~ PQ

LM ~ QR

Given that:

KL = 12

PQ = 30

QR = 20

LM = x

To find x, let's use tge expression:

\frac{KL}{PQ} = \frac{LM}{QR}

=  \frac{12}{30} = \frac{x}{20}

Cross multiplying, we have:

12 * 20 = 30x

240 = 30x

To find x, let's divide both sides by 30.

\frac{240}{30} = \frac{30x}{30}

8 = x

x = 8

The correct option is option B.
