Total weight of three items is 2.875 pounds

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Maya is packing her backpack for hike

From given,

pound\ bag\ of\ trail\ mix = \frac{1}{2}\ pounds

water\ bottle = 2\frac{1}{8}\ pounds = \frac{17}{8}\ pounds\\\\flashlight = \frac{1}{4}\ pounds

<em><u>How much weight do these three items add to her backpack?</u></em>

Add all these together

Total\ weight = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{17}{8} + \frac{1}{4}\\\\Total\ weight = \frac{1 \times 4}{2 \times 4} + \frac{17}{8} + \frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2}\\\\Total\ weight = \frac{4}{8} + \frac{17}{8} + \frac{2}{8}\\\\Total\ weight = \frac{23}{8} = 2.875

Thus total weight of three items is 2.875 pounds

You watch a roulette wheel spin 270 consecutive times and the ball lands on a red slot each time. what is the probability that t
Rus_ich [418]
<span>18/37 if you're in Europe, 9/19 if you're in America, assuming the wheel isn't rigged. If the roulette wheel is a fair wheel, the odds on any given spin of the wheel is unaffected by any previous spins of the wheel. So no matter how many times the wheel has consecutively come up red, the next spin can still come up red, black, or green based upon the number of each color is present on the wheel. The difference between the odds for Europe vs America has to do with a quirk about roulette. In Europe, the roulette wheel has 37 slots, 18 red, 18 black, and 1 green. In America, the roulette wheel has 38 slots, 18 red, 18 black, and 2 green. Although in this case, I'd be wary about assuming that the wheel isn't rigged. The odds of 270 consecutive red on a fair wheel is only 1 in 3.09663x10^84 in Europe, or 1 in 4.14949x10^87 in America.</span>

Answer:

  4.56

Step-by-step explanation:

After this equation is simplified, it is solved the way any 1-step linear equation is solved.

__

1.4t -0.4(t -3.1) = 5.8 . . . . . . given

1.4t -0.4t +1.24 = 5.8 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

t +1.24 = 5.8 . . . . . . . . . collect terms (now you have a 1-step equation)

t = 4.56 . . . . . . . . .  .subtract 1.24
