Let x=bob’s original amount of money
Let 9x=Bessy’s original amount of money

9x+4=5(x+4)
9x+4=5x+20
4x=16
x=4

9(4)=36

Bob had $4 before earning $4 and Bessy had $36 before earning $4

A horse race has 1313 entries and one person owns 44 of those horses. Assuming that there are no​ ties, what is the probability
777dan777 [17]

Answer: 0.0014

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of entries in horse race = 13

Number of horses owned = 4

We assume that there are no​ ties .

Then , the probability that those four horses finish first, second ,third ,and fourth is given by :-

\dfrac{4!}{^{13}P_4}=\dfrac{4!}{\dfrac{13!}{(13-4)!}}\\\\=\dfrac{4!\times9!}{13!}=.0013986013986\approx0.0014

Hence, the required probability = 0.0014

Hey there!

First solving the equation 2^3 . . .

To solve 2^3, multiply the number 2 three times:

2 x 2 x 2 = 8

To find area, multiply the two sides . . .

(Since a square has all sides the same length, multiply 8 x 8)

8 x 8 = 64 <-------

The area of the shape is 64 inches.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

The team ran
juin [17]

The team ran 2 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; The track is \frac{3}{4} miles long and the team ran 2\frac{2}{3} laps on it. To calculate the distance run we multiply the number of laps ran with the distance on each lap.

Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap.

Step 2; We convert 2\frac{2}{3} from a mixed fraction into an improper fraction. To do this, we multiply the whole number with the denominator of the fraction and add with it the numerator of the same fraction whereas the denominator remains unchanged. To convert the fraction 2\frac{2}{3} = ((2 × 3) + 2) / 3 = \frac{8}{3}.

Distance run = Number of laps × Distance on each lap = \frac{8}{3} × \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{4} = 2 miles.
