7 0

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}.

Two airplanes left the same airport and arrived at the same destination at the same time. The first airplane left at 8:00 a.m. a
ddd [48]

The formula for distance is equal to:

d = v * t

where d is distance, v is velocity or speed, and t is time

 

Since the distance travelled by the two airplane is similar, therefore we can create the initial equation:

 

v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

 

We know that v1 = 496, and v2 = 558 so:

 

496 t1 = 558 t2

or

x = 558 t2 / 496

 

We also know that airplane 1 travelled 30 minutes (0.5 hours) earlier than airplane 2, therefore:

 

x = t2 + 0.5

 

Hence,

496 (t2 + 0.5) = 558 t2

496 t2 + 248 = 558 t2

t2 = 4 hours

 

x = t2 + 0.5 = 4 + 0.5

x = 4.5 hours

 

 

So the equation is:

x = 558 t2 / 496

 

And the first plane travelled:

x = 4.5 hours

3 10 / 24 + 6 3 /6 =
artcher [175]
Well first we need to make our fractions have a common denominator. Since 24 is the higher one we will turn 6 into 24. In order to do that we have to multiply our top number and bottom number by 4. 4x6=24 and 3x4=12 therefore our new fraction is 12/24. Now add 6 and 3 which is 9. After adding 6 and 3 we add our fractions. Adding fractions is kind of odd because you only add the top numbers. So, we add 10 and 12 to get 22. Our final step is figuring out if we can simplify the fraction which in this care we can! So, in order to simplify this fraction we divide by 2 which will then make our fraction 11/12 which can not be simplified. So your final answer would be 9 and 11/12. Hope this helps! :)

Which is the equation of a circle with center (-2, 3) and radius r = 5?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

(x+2) ^2 + (y-3)^2 = 25  

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is given by

(x-h) ^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2  where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x--2) ^2 + (y-3)^2 = 5^2

(x+2) ^2 + (y-3)^2 = 25
