Answer:

There is a 0.36% Chance of 1 or fewer in every 24 matches being flawed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly we need to know what 1/10 of 5 is. It is 0.5.

You then need to multiply 24 by 1.5 to get 36. We then need to  divide that by 100 to get a percentage and we end up with 0.36%

Here is an explanation of how to get percentages: https://www.mathsisfun.com/converting-fractions-percents.html

the sum of three numbers is 15. the second number is double the first. the third number is 5 less than the first. what are the t
tigry1 [53]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

5, 10, 0

Discussion:

Let "f" be the first number. Then the questions tells us that

f + 2f  + (f-5) = 15           =>

f + 2f + f - 5 = 15            => add 5 to both sides

4f = 5+ 15 = 20              => divide both sides by 4

f = 20/4 = 5

The numbers as

f:        5

2f:     10

(f-5):  0

Thank you,

MrB

Sound policy requires that a certain number of trees be planted for every tree that is cut down for example of 8 trees are cut d
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

30 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the policy:

8 trees are cut down 48 trees will be planted

If homeowner is going to cut down five trees on his property how many trees will be planted

Since :

8 trees cut down = 48 planted

5 trees cut down = X

Cross multiply :

8 * X = 48 * 5

8X = 240

X = 240/8

X = 30

Hence, 30 trees will need to be planted
