Answer:

A.  1.5a - 5, where 'a' is the number of apples used by Martin

B.  Martin could not have used 10 apples, because that would mean Omar used none.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the number of apples that Martin used.  Since Omar used '5 fewer than half as many as Martin':

0.5a - 5  = the number of apples used by Omar

A.  The total of all the apples:

a + 0.5a - 5  = 1.5a - 5

B.  If Martin used 10 apples:  

a = 10

0.5(10) - 5 = 0, which means Omar would have used no apples to make applesauce

Answer:

A)An expression to show the number of apples that Martin & Omar used in all is \frac{3}{2}x-5

B)Martin could not have 10 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of apples used by Martin

We are given that Omar used 5 fewer than half as many apple as Martin used.

No. of apples used by Omar = \frac{1}{2}x-5

Total apples used by both =x+\frac{1}{2}x-5=\frac{3}{2}x-5

A ) So, an expression to show the number of apples that Martin & Omar used in all is \frac{3}{2}x-5

B)  Could Martin have used 10 apples

It Martin used 10 apples

So, x = 10

So, No. of apples used by Omar =\frac{1}{2}(10)-5=0

So, No. of apples used by Omar is 0 which is not possible since we are given that Omar used apples to make sauce

So, Martin could not have 10 apples

Suppose that two cards are randomly selected from a standard​ 52-card deck. ​(a) what is the probability that the first card is
Savatey [412]
(a) without replacement:
P(S)=13/52=1/4
P(SS)=(1/4)*(12/51)=1/17
Probability of selecting two spades without replacement is 1/17.

(b) with replacement
P(S)=13/52=1/4
P(SS)=(1/4)(13/52)=1/16
Probability of selecting two spades with replacement is 1/16.

Michelle drew a scale drawing of a swimming pool she used the scale 14 millimeters 5 meters in the drawing the pool is 42 millim
Lera25 [3.4K]

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

The scale is---> 14 milimeters ----> 5 meters

Width = 42 milimeters

Applying the unitary method, the actual width of the pool is:

Actual_{}width=42\text{ mm}\cdot\frac{5m}{14\text{ mm}}=15m

The width of the pool is 15m
