Make the bottom number the same to find the increase

find the increase
from 1/2 to 7/10
1/2 times 5/5=5/10
from 5/10 to 7/10 is 2/10 or 1/5 increase
3 gallons was added
so 3 gallons=1/5 of the container
times 5/1 both sides
15 gallons=5/5 of the container

the container can hold 15 gallons of water

A football quarterback enjoys practicing his long passes over 40 yards. He misses the first pass 40% of the time. When he misses
laila [671]

Answer:

Probability of missing two passes in a row is 0.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Event E = A football player misses twice in a row.

P(E) = ?

Event X = Football player misses the first pass

P(X) = 0.4

Event Y = Football player misses just after he first miss

P(Y) = 0.2

Both the events are exclusive so the probability of occuring of these two events can be calculated by the formula:

P(E) = P(X).P(Y)

P(E) = 0.4*0.2

P(E) = 0.08

Solve the system of equations by substitution and show work.<br> ​​y=−6x+13<br> y=3x+4
sukhopar [10]

Answer: x= 1 , y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -6x + 13 ................. equation 1

y = 3x + 4 ................ equation 2

substitute y = 3x + 4 into equation 1 , then we have

3x + 4 = - 6x + 13

collect the like terms , we have

3x + 6x = 13 - 4

9x = 9

x = 1

substitute x = 1 into equation 2 , we have

y = 3(1) + 4

y = 3 + 4

y = 7

Therefore : x = 1 and y = 7
