Long ago, people decided to divide the day into units called hours. They chose 24 as the number of hours in one day. Why is 24 a

more convenient choice than 23 or 25?

Because 24 is an even number. This means it has more factors and is easier to divide into integers than 23 or 25.

A number cube is rolled three times. What is the probability of rolling a number less than 3 each time?
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

1/27

Step-by-step explanation:

The outcomes when rolling a die are 1,2,3,4,5,6

getting less than 3 = 1,2

P( less than 3) = outcomes of less than 3 / total

                        = 2/6 = 1/3

Since the events are independent we can multiply the probabilities

P( less than 3, less than 3, less than 3) = 1/3 * 1/3*1/3 = 1/27

3x+7y=76<br> 9y+5y=108<br> find x<br> find y
klemol [59]

In the given system of equations, the value of x is 7.334 and the value of y is 7.714

<h3>Solving system of linear equations</h3>

From the question, we are to solve the given system of linear equations

The given system of linear equations is

3x + 7y = 76               ------------ (1)

9y + 5y = 108             ------------ (2)

From equation (2), solve for y

9y+ 5y = 108

14y = 108

y = 108/14

y = 7.714

Substitute the value of x into equation (1), to determine the value of x

3x + 7y = 76

3x + 7(7.714) = 76

3x + 53.998 = 76

Subtract 53.998 from both sides of the equation

3x + 53.998 - 53.998  = 76 - 53.998

3x = 22.002

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

3x/3 = 22.002/3

x = 7.334

Therefore,

x = 7.334 and y = 7.714

Another chart question that I don’t know
zloy xaker [14]

From birth to 5yo = 91,200

from 5 to 18yo = 167,000

therefore from birth to 18yo will cost 91,200 + 167,000 which is 258,200

Since the question says per year and thats the total cost of 18 years ( from 0 years to 18), we divide it by 18.

258,200 ÷ 18 = 14,344

Answer a: 14,344

Write the equation of the line that includes the point (1,5) and has a slope of 3 in standard form.
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

-3x + y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 3. So the coefficient of x is 3.

when x = 1, y = 5.

So 3*1 + c = 5

So c is 2.

So y = 3x + 2

Therefore, taking 3x to the LHS, we get,

-3x + y = 2

Hope it helps ;)
