Answer:

Colin has <em>8 sheets </em>left for his third class.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total Number of pieces of papers = x

Number of pieces of papers used for 1st class = 5 fewer than half of the pieces in the pad

Writing the equation:

\text{Number of pieces of papers used for 1st class =} \dfrac{x}{2} -5 ...... (1)

Also, Given that number of pieces of papers used for the 2nd class are 2 more than that of papers used in the 1st class.

\text{Number of pieces of papers used for 2nd class =} \dfrac{x}{2} -5+2 = \dfrac{x}2 -3 ...... (2)

Now, number of pieces of papers left for the third class = Total number of pieces of papers in the pad - Number of pieces of papers used in the first class - Number of pieces of papers used in the first class

\text{number of pieces of papers left for the third class = }x-(\dfrac{x}{2}-5)-(\dfrac{x}{2}-3)\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{x}2-\dfrac{x}2+5+3\\\Rightarrow x-x+5+3\\\Rightarrow 8

So, the answer is:

Colin has <em>8</em> <em>sheets </em>left for his third class.

The diagram shows the width and height of a table. Mr. Howell wants to build a table with the same ratio of width and height as
just olya [345]

Based on the diagram and the ratio of width and height in it, the width that Mr. Howell should make his table is 48 inches .

<h3>How wide should Mr. Howell's table be?</h3>

The width of the table in the diagram is 12 cm and the height is 6cm.

This means that the ratio of width to height is:

12 : 6

2 : 1

As Mr. Howell wants his table to be 24 inches high, the width of the table would be:

2 : 1

x  : 24

Cross-multiply to get:

x = 48 inches

what is the probability that a number selected at random from the set {2,3,7,12,15,22,72,108} will be divisible by both 2 and 3?
evablogger [386]
First, look at how many numbers are divisible by 2 and 3. 
12,72, and 108 and are all divisible by both 2 and 3. That makes 3 out of 8 numbers.
Depending on what form you have to put the probability, that makes it 3:8, 3 out of 8, or 37.5% probability.
