You can write it like this:
20/1 * 3/5

And then you can multiply to get this:
60/5

And then you can determine how many 5 go in 60 to figure out the exact number which is 12!

I hope that helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions! :3

The sum of three numbers is 100. The second number is 2 times the third. The third number is 8 less than the first. What are the

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:x+y+z=100(let x ,y,z represent the first second and third numbers respectively)

Therefore,y=2z

z=x-8

y=2x-16

substituting the values of x,y and z into the question,we have

x+(2x-16)+(x-8)=100

Simplifying,we have

4x-24=100

adding 24 to both sides of the equation,

4x=100+24

4x=124

dividing both sides of the equation by the co-efficient of x,we have

4x/4=124/4

4.31=124

therefore,x=31.

Charlie bought 40 oz of flour for his bakery. He used 18.3 oz to make a loaf of bread, and 0.95 oz for each muffin. How many muf

Furkat [3]

Division is one of the four fundamental arithmetic operations. With the leftover flour of 7.45oz, charlie can make approximately 8 muffins.

<h3>What is Division?</h3>

The division is one of the four fundamental arithmetic operations, which tells us how the numbers are combined to form a new one.

A.) The total flour Charlie has was 40 oz, out of this he used 18.3 oz of flour. The amount of flour left now would be 21.7 (40-18.3).

Since a single muffin uses 0.95 oz of flour, therefore, the number of muffins Charlie made will be,

Number of muffins = 21.7/0.95 = 22.84 ≈ 23 muffins

B.) When Charlie had 7.45 oz of flour leftover, then the number of muffins would be,

Number of muffins = 7.45/0.95 = 7.84 ≈ 8 muffins

Hence, with the leftover flour of 7.45oz charlie can make approximately 8 muffins.

Consider a large shipment of 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors. If X is the number among 15 randomly sel

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors.

Therefore N = 400 and X = 40

The probability of defective compressors is:

$\frac{40}{400}=0.10$

It is given that If X is the number among 15 randomly selected refrigerators that have defective compressors,

That means n=15

Apply the probability density function.

$P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

We need to find P(X ≤ 3)

$P(X\leq3) =P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)\\P(X\leq3) =\frac{15!}{15!}(0.1)^0(1-0.1)^{15}+\frac{15!}{14!}(0.1)^1(1-0.1)^{14}+\frac{15!}{13!2!}(0.1)^2(1-0.1)^{13}+\frac{15!}{12!3!}(0.1)^3(1-0.1)^{12}\\$

$P(X\leq3) =0.944444369992\approx 0.94$

Hence, the required probability is 0.94
