Given the proportion 8/5 = 2/m-3 what is the value of m

Hey there! :)

Answer:

m = 4.25, or 17/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the proportion:

\frac{8}{5}= \frac{2}{m-3}

Cross multiply:

8(m - 3) = 5 · 2

Distribute the 8:

8m - 8(3) = 10

8m - 24 = 10

Add 24 to both sides:

8m = 34

Divide both sides by 8:

8m/8 = 34/8

m = 4.25, or 17/4.

A bag contains 4 blue marbles, 2 yellow marbles, and 6 orange marbles. What is the probability of picking an orange marble and t
ikadub [295]

We will see that the probability of picking two orange marbles without replacement is 0.23

<h3>How to get the probability?</h3>

If we assume that all the marbles have the same probability of being randomly picked, then the probability of getting an orange marble is given by the quotient between the number of orange marbles and the total number of marbles, this gives:

P = 6/12 = 1/2

And then we need to get another orange marble, without replacing the one we picked before, this time there are 5 orange marbles and 11 in total, so the probability is:

Q = 5/11

Finally, the joint probability (of these two events happening) is the product of the probabilities, so we get:

P*Q = (1/2)*(5/11) = 0.23

The value of n is both 5 times as much as the value of m and 36 more than the value of m. What are the values of n and m? Explai
tia_tia [17]
N = 5m
n = m + 36

since n is equal to both the expression in m we can say:-

5m = m + 36
4m=36

m = 9 

and n = 5*9 = 45
