Answer:

30 fruits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> number of plums on the plate

y ----> number of apples on the plate

we know that

The ratio of the number of plums to the number of apples was 3:2

so

\frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{2}

x=1.5y ----> equation A

After Ed took 6 plums from the plate, the number of plums remaining on the plate became the same as the number of apples

so

x-6=y ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

1.5y-6=y

solve for y

1.5y-y=6\\0.5y=6\\y=12

Find the value of x

x=1.5(12)=18

therefore

Mon put on the table

x+y=18+12=30\ fruits

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The following mistakes could be explained observed from the plotted bar chart presented in the attachment :

1.) The numeric label of the y-axis which shows the number of text messages isn't well scaled, the numbering did not start from 0, hence this is a defect in the scaling of the bar chart.

2.) Looking closely, the plotted bars do not ALIGN well in terms of spacing as the interval between each bar isn't consistent.

3.) Both the x and y axis of the graph are t labeled thus failing to add a good and meaningful description to the plot especially for first time viewers.

3x²-4x+7 how do I find the domain?
Eddi Din [679]
The domain of this equation is the lowest x value to the highest x value. For example: lowest is -4 and highest is 3. You would write it as [-4,3]

For this equation, the domain is (-infinity,infinity) because there is no lowest or highest x value.

Greg has 4 shirts: a white one, a black one, a red one, and a blue one. He also has two pairs of pants, one blue and one tan. Wh
alexgriva [62]

The distribution of the pants and the shirts illustrates probability

The probability that he winds up wearing the white shirt and tan pants is 1/8

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The number of shirts is given as:

Shirts = 4

The number of pants is given as:

Pants = 2

The probability that he winds up wearing the white shirt and tan pants is then calculated as:

P = P(White shirt) * P(tan pant)

This gives

P = 1/4 * 1/2

Evaluate the product

P = 1/8

Hence, the probability that he winds up wearing the white shirt and tan pants is 1/8
