A satellite is composed of 30 modular units, each of which is equipped with a set of sensors, some of which have been upgraded.

Each unit contains the same number of non-upgraded sensors. If the number of non-upgraded sensors on one unit is 1/5 the total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite, what fraction of the sensors on the satellite have been upgraded

Answer:

$\dfrac{1}{7}$

is the fraction of sensors upgraded per unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let x be the number of upgraded sensors in one unit and y be the number of non-upgraded sensors in one unit.

Number of modular units = 30

Since some part of unit is upgraded and some are non-upgraded, then, we can write the equation:

$x + y = 1$

Number of non-upgraded sensors =

$\dfrac{1}{5}\times \text{Total number of upgraded sensors on the entire satellite}$

Thus, we can write the equation:

$y = \dfrac{30x}{5}\\\\y = 6x\\1-x = 6x\\\\x = \dfrac{1}{7}$

Fraction of sensors upgraded per unit =

$\dfrac{1}{7}$

The probability that Jane will go to a ballgame (event A) on a Monday is 0.73, and the probability that Kate will go to a ballga

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

dependent events since P(A and B) is not equal to P(A) * P(B)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

Given, The probability that Jane will go to a ballgame (event A) on a Monday is 0.73, and the probability that Kate will go to a ballgame (event B) the same day is 0.61. The probability that Kate and Jane both go to the ballgame on Monday is 0.52.

Thus, The events A, B and A∩B are:

A - Jane will go to a ballgame on Monday;

B - Kate will go to a ballgame on Monday;

A∩B - Kate and Jane both go to the ballgame on Monday.

P(A)=0.73, P(B)=0.61, P(A∩B)=0.52.

Pr(A)⋅Pr(B) = 0.73⋅0.61 = 0.4453 ≠ 0.52

So, events A and B are dependent events since P(A and B) is not equal to P(A) * P(B)

What is nine minus one third?

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$\frac{26}{3}$ = $8.6...$ = $8\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 9 x 3=27

(leave 1/3 alone, it's already good)

you have a 27/3-1/3

(subtract those)

your answer is 26/3

(see answer above for decimal form and mixed fraction form)

Answer:

1.) 3/4

2.) 44/5 or 8 4/5

3.) 17/6 or 2 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 5/16 ÷ 5/12

To divide a fraction by another fraction, reciprocate (put the numerator to denominator and vice versa) the divisor then change the sign to multiplication:

5/16 × 12/5

5 × 12 / 16 × 5

Cancel out 5 since both numerator and denominator has it:

12 / 16

Divide both by 4:

12 ÷ 4 / 16 ÷ 4

3/4

2.) 3 1/5 • 2 3/4

You have to convert the fractions first to improper fractions by multiplying the denominator to the whole number then adding the numerator to the product:

3 1/5 = 3×5 + 1 = 16/5

2 3/4 = 2 × 4 + 3 = 11/4

Now you can multiply the numerator to numerator then denominator to denominator:

Since 16 is a factor of 4, you can cancel it out, which leaves 4:

16 / 5 × 11/4

4 × 11 / 5 × 1

44/ 5

3.) 6 3/8 ÷ 2 1/4

Convert to improper fraction:

6 3/8 = 6× 8 + 3 = 51/8

2 1/4 = 4 × 2 + 1 = 9/4

(51 × 4)/ (9×8)

51 × 1/ 9× 2

51 / 18

Divide by 3:

17/6

Which values are in the solution set of the compound inequality? Check all that apply. 4(x + 3) ≤ 0 or x + 1 > 3 –6 –3 0 3 8

Colt1911 [192]

we have

$4(x + 3) \leq 0$ -------> inequality 1

or

$x + 1 > 3$ -------> inequality 2

we know that

In this system of inequalities, for a value to be the solution of the system, it is enough that it satisfies at least one of the two inequalities.

let's check each of the values

<u>case 1)</u> x=-6

<u>Substitute the value of x=-6 in the inequality 1</u>

$4(-6 + 3) \leq 0$

$4(-3) \leq 0$

$-12 \leq 0$ -------> is ok

The value of x=-6 is a solution of the compound inequality-----> It is not necessary to check the second inequality, because the first one satisfies

<u>case 2)</u> x=-3

<u>Substitute the value of x=-3 in the inequality 1</u>

$4(-3 + 3) \leq 0$

$4(0) \leq 0$

$0 \leq 0$ -------> is ok

The value of x=-3 is a solution of the compound inequality-----> It is not necessary to check the second inequality, because the first one satisfies

<u>case 3)</u> x=0

<u>Substitute the value of x=0 in the inequality 1</u>

$4(0 + 3) \leq 0$

$4(3) \leq 0$

$12 \leq 0$ -------> is not ok

<u>Substitute the value of x=0 in the inequality 2</u>

$0 + 1 > 3$

$1 > 3$ --------> is not ok

The value of x=0 is not a solution of the compound inequality

case 4) x=3

<u>Substitute the value of x=3 in the inequality 1</u>

$4(3 + 3) \leq 0$

$4(6) \leq 0$

$24 \leq 0$ -------> is not ok

<u>Substitute the value of x=3 in the inequality 2</u>

$3 + 1 > 3$

$4 > 3$ --------> is ok

The value of x=3 is a solution of the compound inequality

case 5) x=8

<u>Substitute the value of x=8 in the inequality 1</u>

$4(8 + 3) \leq 0$

$4(11) \leq 0$

$44 \leq 0$ -------> is not ok

<u>Substitute the value of x=8 in the inequality 2</u>

$8 + 1 > 3$

$9 > 3$ --------> is ok

The value of x=8 is a solution of the compound inequality

<u>case 6)</u> x=10

<u>Substitute the value of x=10 in the inequality 1</u>

$4(10 + 3) \leq 0$

$4(13) \leq 0$

$52 \leq 0$ -------> is not ok

<u>Substitute the value of x=10 in the inequality 2</u>

$10+ 1 > 3$

$11 > 3$ --------> is ok

The value of x=10 is a solution of the compound inequality

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

[-6,-3,3,8,10]
