Answer: Boat cost $ 3200

Trailer cost $ 800

Step-by-step explanation: From the statement , the coat of Trailer (t) = 1/4 of the coat of the boat ( b)

i.e t = 1/4b

multiply through by 4

4t = b

both cost 4,000

i.e t + b = 4000

recall: b = 4t

therefore

t + 4t = 4000

5t = 4000

t = 4000/5

t = 800

b = 4000 - 800

b = 3200

A bucket contains 40 red balls, 25 black balls, and 35 white balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{1}{5}$ or $Probability = 0.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Black = 25$

$White = 35$

$Red = 40$

Required

Determine the probability of selecting Black and Red

First, we need to calculate the number of red and black balls

The probability is calculated as thus:

$Probability = P(Black\ and \ Red) \ or\ P(Red\ and \ Black)$

Convert to mathematical expressions

$Probability = [P(Black) *P(Red)] + [P(Red) *P(Black)]$

Solve for each probaility;

$P(Black) = \frac{Black}{Total} = \frac{25}{100}$

$P(Red) = \frac{Red}{Total} = \frac{40}{100}$

So, we have:

$Probability = [P(Black) *P(Red)] + [P(Red) *P(Black)]$ $Probability = [\frac{25}{100} *\frac{40}{100}] + [\frac{40}{100} *\frac{25}{100}]$

$Probability = [\frac{1000}{10000}] + [\frac{1000}{10000}]$

$Probability = [\frac{1}{10}] + [\frac{1}{10}]$

$Probability = \frac{1+1}{10}$

$Probability = \frac{2}{10}$

$Probability = \frac{1}{5}$

$Probability = 0.2$

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of the dimensions of the tank are doubled, since we live in three dimensions, the volume of the new tank will be $2^3=8$ times as large. $8\cdot 2000=16000$ feet, or answer choice A. Hope this helps!
