(1/15) / (1/3) = 1/x
cross multiply
1/15x = 1/3
x = 1/3 * 15
x = 15/3
x = 5 hrs

Solutions

$
(1/15) / (1/3) = 1/x$

To solve the given problem we have to use cross multiplication.

$1/15x = 1/3

x = 1/3 * 15

x = 15/3

x = 5 hrs$

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

4 + 5x = 3 (-x + 3) -11

4+5x=-3x+9-11

5x+3x=9-11-4

8x= -6

x= -0.75

If you roll two fair dice repeatedly, what is the probability that you will get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 ? (a) (b) (

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The probability that you will get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 is $\frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If you roll two fair dice repeatedly.

To find : What is the probability that you will get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 ?

Solution :

When two dice are rolled the outcomes are

(1,1) (1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5) (1,6)

(2,1) (2,2) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5) (2,6)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,3) (3,4) (3,5) (3,6)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,4) (4,5) (4,6)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4) (5,5) (5,6)

(6,1) (6,2) (6,3) (6,4) (6,5) (6,6)

Total number of outcomes = 36

Favorable outcome get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 is (1,3) ,(2,2) and (3,1) = 3

The probability that you will get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 is

$P=\frac{3}{36}$

$P=\frac{1}{12}$

Therefore, The probability that you will get a sum of 4 before you get a sum of 5 is $\frac{1}{12}$

What is the equation of the line passing through the point (-2,-1) and perpendicular to the line y = 1/2x+5?

uranmaximum [27]

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope of a line is always the factor of x.

here : 1/2

it is the ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain angina amount of units when going from one point to another.

a perpendicular slope puts x and y upside-down and flips the sign.

here : -2/1 = -2

so, the equation looks like

y = -2x + b

b is the y-intercept, and we get this by putting the x and y coordinates of the given point into this equation and solve for b :

-1 = -2×-2 + b

-1 = 4 + b

b = -5

the full equation is therefore

y = -2x - 5

Can someone please explain this for me, thank you.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

just divide Atlantic/Mississippi

$\frac{3.1 \times {10}^{17} }{6.3 \times {10}^{11} } = \frac{3.1}{6.3} \times \frac{ {10}^{17} }{ {10}^{11} } \\ = 0.492 \times {10}^{17 - 11} \\ = 0.492 \times {10}^{6} \\ = 4.92 \times {10}^{5}$
