Answer:

The position of the team now is 3 yards from their starting position

Step-by-step explanation:

- Lets explain how to solve the problem

- There is some words we can translate them in mathematics to (+)

sign and (-) sign as gain and loss

- Gain means add the value and loss means subtract the value

* Lets solve the problem

- There are 5 straight plays for a football team

- The football team gained 8 yards , then lost 4 yard , then gained

7 yards , then gained 3 yards and finally lost 11 yards

- We need to know the position of the football team now compared

to their starting position

- Assume that they started at 0 position and when they gained

yards we add them and when they lost yards we subtract them

∵ They gained 8 yards

∴ 0 + 8 = 8

∵ They lost 4 yards

∴ 8 - 4 = 4

∵ They gained 7 yards

∴ 4 + 7 = 11

∵ They gained 3 yards

∴ 11 + 3 = 14

∵ They lost 11 yards

∴ 14 - 11 = 3

* The position of the team now is 3 yards from their starting position

Find the missing number: 8.4(1.5 + 2.3) = 12.6 +

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

19.32

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the missing number is to get the value of the left side of the equation first.

8.4(1.5 + 2.3) = 31.92

Now we need to take that value and subtract it to the value on the right side of the equation.

31.92 - 12.6 = 19.32

So we have:

8.4(1.5 + 2.3) = 12.6 + 19.32

31.92 = 31.92

A box contains 2 dozen pairs of contact lenses ,of which 8 pairs are tinted. A pair of contact lenses is drawn at random from th

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

$\dfrac{2}{3}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a box contains 2 dozen pairs of contact lenses ,of which 8 pairs are tinted.

1 dozen = 12 units

Total pairs of contact lenses $=2\times 12 = 24$

Tinted pairs of contact lenses = 8

Pairs of contact lenses not tinted = 24 - 8 = 16

If a pair of contact lenses is drawn at random from the box, then we need to find the probability that it is not tinted.

$P(\text{Not tinted})=\dfrac{\text{Pairs of contact lenses not tinted}}{\text{Total pairs of contact lenses}}$

$P(\text{Not tinted})=\dfrac{16}{24}$

$P(\text{Not tinted})=\dfrac{2}{3}$

Therefore, the required probability is $\dfrac{2}{3}.$
