The question being the case, the equation is: 8x + 6y = 136.
Where x is the number of hours spent on job A and y is the number of house spent on job B. Now to solve for both variables.
Notice that if you add x and y, you should get a total of 20 hours so x + y = 20.
To get x, x = 20 - y. Replace the answer on the original equation gives you 8(20-y) + 6y = 136. 
160 - 8y + 6y = 136
160 - 2y = 136
-2y = 136 - 160
-2y = -24
<span>Solve for y by dividing both sides of this equation by -2 to get y:
y = 12
Replace y on the x + y = 20 equation to get x.
x + 12 = 20
x = 20 = 12
x = 8

Therefore:
x = 8 hours on job A
y = 12 hours on job B

Hope this helps!</span>

Consider the gender and class make-up of students at a large university by gender and status as given in the table.
azamat

Answer:

0.589

Step-by-step explanation:

THis is a conditional probability question. Let's look at the formula first:

P (A | B) = P(A∩B)/P(B)

" | " means "given that".

So, it means, the <u><em>"Probabilty A given that B is equal to Probability A intersection B divided by probability of B."</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

So we want to know P (Female | Undergraduate ). This in formula is:

P (Female | Undergraduate) = P (Female ∩ Undergraduate)/P(Undergraduate)

Now,

P (Female ∩ Undergraduate) means what is common in both female and undergraduate? There are 43% female that are undergrads. Hence,

P (Female ∩ Undergraduate) = 0.43

Also,

P (Undergraduate) is how many undergrads are there? There are 73% undergrads, so that is P (undergraduate) = 0.73

<em>plugging into the formula we get:</em>

P (Female | Undergraduate) = P (Female ∩ Undergraduate)/P(Undergraduate)

=0.43/0.73 = 0.589

this is the answer.

The water at the end of a pier was 28 meters deep at midnight. As the tide came in, the water depth increased at a rate of 0.012
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

  0.012t + 28 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The depth starts at 28 meters. The amount of increase in t minutes will be 0.012t, so the total depth after t minutes is ...

  0.012t +28

We want to find when that is equal to 30, so the appropriate equation is ...

  0.012t +28 = 30

A lab technician is dividing a cell that has a diameter of 4.32×10^-4 millimeters. Each of the new cells has a diameter measurin
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

2.16 \times  {10}^{ - 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The lab technician is dividing a cell that has a diameter of

4 .32 \times  {10}^{ - 4}

The new cells has a diameter that is half of the diameter of the original cell.

The diameter of the new cell is given as:

\frac{4.32 \times  {10}^{ - 4} }{2}

Rewrite the numerator in standard notation:

\frac{0.000432}{2}

= 0.00216

We rewrite in scientific notation to obtain:

2.16 \times  {10}^{ - 4}
