Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the length of a spring with a 2 kg load, compare the displacement of a 1 kg load and adjust accordingly.

When a 1 kg load is suspended from the spring, the spring which is 6 cm stretches to 9 cm. This is 3 cm longer due to the weight. If you attach a weight which is twice as much then the displacement will be twice as much. Instead of stretching an additional 3 cm, it will stretch 2*3 = 6 cm. Add this to the length of the spring and it stretches in total 6 + 6 = 12 cm.

The difference of two numbers is 40. Find the numbers if 0.3 parts of one number is equal to 37.5% of the other one.
puteri [66]

Answer:Let the two unknown numbers be x and y.

So, x-y=40 ........Equation 1

And 0.3(x)= 37.5/100 (y)

From equation 1, x=40+y

Now, multiply through by 100 in equation 2.

We have,

30x = 37.5 (y)

We can multiply through by 10 again,so that the number on the L.H.S becomes a whole number.

Therefore, we have

300x = 375 (y)

Put "x=40+y" in the equation above

That is, 300 (40+y) = 375 (y)

1200 + 300y = 375y

1200 = 375y - 300y

1200 = 75y

Divide both sides by 75 to get your y

Therefore, y =16

From equation 1, we had x= 40 + y

Therefore X = 40 + 16

X= 56

Therefore the two unknown numbers are 56 and 16 respectively.

A bag contains 7 red, 5 orange, and 6 green jellybeans. What is the probability of reaching into the bag and randomly withdrawin
Deffense [45]

Answer:

Probability of reaching into the bag and randomly withdrawing 12 jellybeans such that the number of red ones is 6, the number of orange ones is 4, and the number of green ones is 2 is (525/18564) = 0.0283

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to select 6 red jelly beans from 7 red ones, 4 Orange jelly beans from 5 Orange ones and 2 green jelly beans from 6 green ones.

This can be done in the following way

⁷C₆ × ⁵C₄ × ⁶C₂ = 7 × 5 × 15 = 525

But totally, 12 jelly beans can be selected from 18 jelly beans in

¹⁸C₁₂ = 18564

Probability of reaching into the bag and randomly withdrawing 12 jellybeans such that the number of red ones is 6, the number of orange ones is 4, and the number of green ones is 2 is

525/18564 = 0.0283

Are the inequalities x > 3 and 3 < x equivalent?

They both say that x must be larger than 3. No bickering here. So yep, they're equivalent.

Inequalities usually have a lot of solutions—in fact, infinitely many. Think about the inequality x > 3. This inequality states that "x must be larger than 3." Any number bigger than 3 is a solution to this inequality. That includes 3.001, 3.0001, 4, 5, 2 million, and every other number bigger than 3. We don't have time at the moment to name them all,
