Answer: 0.665.

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of the bags are from supplier A, and 95% of them are undamaged.

40% of the bags are from supplier B, and 75% of them are undamaged.

Then, the number of undamaged bags from supplier A is:

0.6*0.95 = 0.57 or 57%

from B is:

0.4*0.75 = 0.3 or 30%

This means that the percentage of undamaged bags is:

57% + 30% = 87%.

Then, the probability that an undamaged bag is from supplier A is equal to the percentage of undamaged bags that came from supplier A (57%) and the total percentage of undamaged bags (87%) this is:

P = 57%/87% = 0.655 or 65.5%

Then the probability that an undamaged bag comes from supplier A is 0.665.

A circular piece of fabric has a radius of 1.2ft. The fabric sells for $5.40 per ft2. What is the total cost of the circular pie
mixas84 [53]
Find the area of the fabric
The fabric is circular, so we find the area using the area of circle formula
a = π × r²

input the numbers
a = π × r²
a = 3.14 × (1.2)²
a = 3.14 × 1.44
a = 4.5216 ft²

Calculate the total cost
Multiply the cost by the area
cost = 5.4 × 4.5216
cost = 24.417
The total cost is approximately $24.42

A piece of metal has a mass of 2210 g. The volume of the metal is 260 cm³.
Vlada [557]

Answer:

density= 8.5\,\,\frac{g}{cm^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for density is:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

therefore for this case we have:

density=\frac{mass}{volume} \\density=\frac{2210}{260} \,\frac{g}{cm^3} \\density= 8.5\,\,\frac{g}{cm^3}
