Answer:

B.  `29/40`

Step-by-step explanation:

These events are not mutually exclusive.  This means they can happen at the same time.

For two events A and B that are not mutually exclusive,

P(A or B) = P(A)+P(B) - P(A and B)

Our events are:

P(girl or 7th grade) = P(girl)+P(7th grade)-P(girl and 7th grade)

There are 40 girls out of 80 students:

P(girl or 7th grade) = 40/80+P(7th grade)-P(girl and 7th grade)

There are 36 7th graders in the choir out of 80 students:

P(girl or 7th grade) = 40/80+36/80-P(girl and 7th grade)

There are 18 7th grade girls in the choir:

P(girl or 7th grade) = 40/80+36/80-18/80 = 76/80-18/80 = 58/80

Both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 2:

(58÷2)/(80÷2) = 29/40

How much did she spend on food during the three months
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

$$563.20 or ≈$563.00

Step-by-step explanation

The question states that Mrs. Hadley spent $126.97 on one month, $237.81 on the next, and $198.42 on the last. To get the total, we can add these values together.

126.97+237.81+198.42=563.20

An estimation would be:

127+238+198=563

We can use this estimation to determine that the total value is reasonable.

Answer:

The answer to this question can be defined as follows:

In option 1, She buys 4 memory cards.

In option 2, The cost of memory is $40  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Available space is = 105 GB

required space = 1000 GB

256 GB memory cost $10.

Find needed memory:

=  1000 GB - 105 GB

= 895 GB

∴ the available memory is 256 GB.

∵ 256 × 4 = 1024  GB

The total memory she have = 1024 + 105 = 1129 GB

And  she needs to buy 4 memory cards.

The cost of the four memory cards is= 4 ×10 =  $40.
