Answer: 19 and 31
Step-by-step explanation: Make the first number x, the second number y.
The sum of x and y is 50: x+y=50
x is 43 less than 2y: x=2y-43
replace x in equation x+y=50 with x=2y-43: 2y-43+y=50
combine like terms: 3y-43=50
add 43 to both sides: 3y=93
divide both sides by 3: y=31
replace y in equation x+y=50 with y=31: x+31=50
subtract 43 31 from both sides: x=19
the solution to the question is the first number is 19, the second number is 31
They reject if the pie is more than 3.2oz from 28oz.
The scale shows positive number if its more than 28oz.
The scale shows negative number if its less than 28oz.
The scale shows zero if its 28oz.
A . Scale reads -2.8oz which means less than 28oz, So accepted.
B. Scale reads 3.5oz which means 3.5oz more than 28oz. So rejected.
C. Scale reads -3.3oz which means less than 28oz, So accepted.
D. Scale reads 28oz which means more than 28oz, So rejected.
The answer is d) Reflection
Answer:
C.1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Initially the box has four $1 and six $5 bills. The probability of selecting a $5 bill in the first trial would be given as;
(number of $5 bills) / (total number of bills)
= (6)/(4+6) = 3/5
If in the first attempt we actually pick a $5 bill, the number of $5 bills will reduce by one to 5. Now, the probability of picking a $5 bill in the second attempt will be given as;
(new number of $5 bills) / (new total number of bills)
= (5)/(4+5) = 5/9
The new number of $5 bills will now be; 6 - 2 = 4 since we have already picked 2 without replacing them.
Now, the probability of picking a $5 bill in the third attempt will be given as;
(new number of $5 bills) / (new total number of bills)
= (4)/(4+4) = 1/2
Since the three attempts are independent, the probability of picking all three $5 bills is;
3/5 * 5/9 * 1/2 = 1/6
The guy who did this first is right.
