You would need 3 cups of flour because 1*2 is 2 and 2*3 is 6 and 6 divided by 2 is 3

Suppose you are asked to find the area of a rectangle that is 2.1-cmcm wide by 5.6-cmcm long. Your calculator answer would be 11
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

12 square cm correct to 2 significant figures

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Rectangle = L X B = 2.1 X 5.6 = 11.76 square cm

To round your result to 2 significant figure, we start counting from the left from the first non-zero digit.

The first two digits are 11 but because the number after is 7 (greater than 4), we round up to 12.

11.76 square cm = 12 square cm correct to 2 significant figures

Theoretical probability is the probability that an event occurs when all of the outcomes of the experiment are equally likely.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

1. The probability that we select a red marble is 1/3.

We found this out by taking the amount of red marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. The total amount of marbles is 18 and there are red marbles. So, it would become 6 out of 18 or 6/18. Then, we simplify 6/18 to the simplest form. The greatest common factor of both of those numbers is 6. Lastly, we divide each of them by 6 to get the simplest form.

6/18 = (6/6)/(18/6)

(6/6)/(18/6) = 1/3

So, therefore, the theoretical probability of picking a red marble is 1/3.

2. The probability that we select a blue marble is 2/3.

We can find this out by taking the amount of blue marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. We know that the total amount of marble is 18 and there are 12 blue marbles. So, we simply get the GCF (greatest common factor) and divide them by it.

Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 18 = 6

12/18 = (12/6)/(18/6)

(12/6)/(18/6) = 2/3

Thus, the theoretical probability of picking a blue marble is 2/3.

A clothing store sold 4 times as many sweaters as coats. The difference in the sales was 300. How many of each were sold?
slava [35]
Sweater = 400
coats = 100
difference= 300
in an equation it would be
4x-x=300
so
3x=300
x=100
sweaters= 4x= 400
coats= x= 100

A mother is currently 7 times older than her son. In 3 years time, she will be 5 times older than her son. Let x and y be the pr
Softa [21]

Answer:

If the child is currently 6 years old and the mom is 42, in three years she'll be 45 and he'll be 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The son is y and the mom is x

x=7y

x+3=5(y+3)

7y+3=5y+15

7y=5y+12

2y=12

y=6
