We can set up an equation to solve this problem, but first we need to write out what we know.
$20 overall
$0.24 every minute
$13.52 remaining on the card
Now that we know our information, we can set it up in an equation.
20 - 0.24x = 13.52
The 20 represents $20 overall when she first got the phone card.
We are then subtracting $20 from how must it costs a minute (which is 24 cents). The 'x' indicates the number we are trying to find (how many minutes her call lasted). Lastly, 13.52 is the result of everything, since she has $13.52 remaining on the card.
We can now solve the equation:
20 - 0.24x = 13.52
-0.24x = 13.52 - 20 /// subtract 20 from each side
-0.24x = -6.48 /// simplify
x = 27 /// divide each side by -0.24
Our solution is: x = 27.

An easier way to solve this problem would be to first, subtract the total amount of money she had on the card when she first got it, and then the remaining total she ended up with.
$20 - $13.52 = $6.48
So, she spent a total of $6.48 on long distance calls, but since we are looking for how many minutes, we need to divide the total she spent and how much it costs per minute.
6.48 ÷ 24 = 27
We receive the same amount of minutes spent just like we did the last way we solved.

Salma spent 27 minutes on the phone.
Answer:
There are 0.475 pounds of apples in each tart.
I arrived in this number by dividing the total number of pounds by the total number of tarts made.
475 pounds divided by 1000 tarts is equal to 0.475 pounds per tart.
475 lbs/1000 tarts = 0.475 lbs/tart
So, if you are to bake a certain number of tarts and need to know the total number of pounds of apple needed to bake you can use this equation.
y = 0.475x
where y represents the total number of pounds needed to bake x number of tarts with a fixed 0.475 pounds per tart.

Yes, it is a proportional relationship!

Answer:
Probability that component 4 works given that the system is functioning = 0.434 .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a parallel system functions whenever at least one of its components works.
There are parallel system of 5 components and each component works independently with probability 0.4 .
Let <em>A = Probability of component 4 working properly, P(A) = 0.4 .</em>
<em>Also let S = Probability that system is functioning for whole 5 components, P(S)</em>
Now, the conditional probability that component 4 works given that the system is functioning is given by P(A/S) ;
P(A/S) = {Means P(component 4 working and system also working)
divided by P(system is functioning)}
P(A/S) = {In numerator it is P(component 4 working) and in
denominator it is P(system working) = 1 - P(system is not working)}
Since we know that P(system not working) means that none of the components is working in system and it is given with the probability of 0.6 and since there are total of 5 components so P(system working) = 1 - 
.
Hence, P(A/S) = 
= 0.434.
