The ratio 9:7 gives you following statement:

  • Carl will win in 9 cases from 9+7=16;
  • Carl will lose in 7 cases from 16.

Then the probability that Carl will lose is

Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.

Answer: Pr(\text{Carl will lose})=\dfrac{7}{16}.

Alexa pays 7/20 of a dollar for each minute she uses her pay-as-you-go phone for a call, and 2/5 of a dollar for each minute of
9966 [12]

Answer:

  • The system of equations is x + y = 85 and 7/20x+2/5y=31
  • To eliminate the x-variable from the equations, you can multiply the equation with the fractions by 20 and multiply the other equation by -7.
  • B-She used 60 minutes for calling and 25 minutes for data.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is always a good idea to start by defining variables in such a problem. Here, we can let x represent the number of calling minutes, and y represent the number of data minutes. The the total number of minutes used is ...

  x + y = 85

The total of charges is the sum of the products of charge per minute and minutes used:

  7/20x + 2/5y = 31.00

We can eliminate the x-variable in these equations by multiplying the first by -7 and the second by 20, then adding the result.

  -7(x +y) +20(7/20x +2/5y) = -7(85) +20(31)

  -7x -7y +7x +8y = -595 +620 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  y = 25 . . . . . . . . simplify

Then the value of x is

  x = 85 -y = 85 -25

  x = 60

If a frozen yogurt has 75 calories in 2 oz, how many are in 8 oz of yogurt?
irina [24]

Answer:

The answer would be 300 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of calories in 8 ounces we need to make the ounce amount the same. Let x equal the number of calories.

75/2=x

To get to 8 ounces we need to multiply the bottom by 4. and what we do to the bottom we do to the top.

75*4/2*4=x

multiply

300/8=x

There are 300 calories in 8 ounces.
