39 and 23!

If we broke down the problem to 62=x+y (y being the smaller number) we can solve from there.
If y is the smaller number, then y= x-16
Therefore if we plug that back in we get 62=x+x-16 which simplifies to 62=2x-16.
Now we just solve for x which is the bigger number and we get 39. But we still have y which is 16 less so we subtract 16 from 39 to get 23.

23 and 39

23 + 39 = 62
39 - 23 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

3 students are both female and senior

the total number of students is 7+10+8+5=30

so the probability to select one female senior is 3/30=1/10=0.10

probability to select one female is 16/30=16/30

probability that the student is a senior given that it's female is

=P(female and senior)/P(female)

=1/10*30/16=3/16

hope this helps

Describe how to write 7,594,000,000 in scientific notation. Complete the description. First move the decimal point places to the

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is 7,594,000,000.

To convert it into scientific notation,

First move the decimal point places to the left to find a number that is greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10. Then multiply by 10 , using an exponent on 10 that equals the number of places you moved the decimal. The exponent is negative if the original no was <1 and the exponent is positive, if the original number was > 1.

In 7,594,000,000, we move the decimal point places to the left before 5. It means we have moved 9 digits left.

Hence, $7,594,000,000=7.59\times 10^9$ is the scientific notation.
