Her equation doesn't fit the word problem! It says several 2 pounds books but she put it as if there was one. She should have wrote the equation like this:
3 + 2x = 20 (where x represents the unknown amount of boxes)
and than you can just solve for x to find how many books there are
3 + 2x = 20
2x = 20
x = 10
So there are 10 books!

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions :3

Answer:

  1. The probability that the locker code begins with a prime number is 40%.
  2. The probability that the last digit of the locker code is an odd number is 40%

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Prime numbers are the numbers that only divide with 1 or itself. So in this case it is 5 and 7.

The possible combinations are

1*4*3 (with 5) +  1*4*3(with 7) = 24

Total combinations are 5*4*3=60

(24/60)*100 = 40 %

     2. Odd numbers are those which don't divide with 2. So in this case it is 6 and 8.

The possible combinations are

1*4*3 (with 6) +  1*4*3(with 8) = 24

Total combinations are 5*4*3=60

(24/60)*100 = 40 %

Describe the error then simplify the expression correctly.<br><br> -5(3+6)=-15+30<br> =15
Rama09 [41]

Answer: 30 should be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

when having an equation like that, you must multiply -5 by 3, which equals to -15, then multiply-5 by 6 which then equals to -30. The correct equation should be -5(3+6)= -15+-30= -45


I think this should be correct, hope this helps!

This rectangular frame is made from 5 straight pieces of metal.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Total weight = 70.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular frame is made from 5 straight pieces of metal. One of them goes through the diagonal of the rectangle.

2 pieces form the length of the rectangular frame, hence, they have a length of 12 m each

2 pieces from the width of the rectangular frame, hence, they a length of 5 m each

To find the length of the diagonal, we can use Pythagoras Theorem:

Hypotenuse² = Base² + Perpendicular²

Hypotenuse² = 5² + 12²

Hypotenuse² = 169²

Hypotenuse = 13

Hence, the length of the piece of metal placed at the diagonal is 13cm

Find the sum of all lengths of the metal pieces.

Total length = 12 + 12 + 5 + 5 + 13

Total length = 47 m

Total weight = 1.5 × Total length

Total weight = 1.5 kg/m × 47m

Total weight = 70.5 kg
