Answer:

P(A) = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

P(A) = P(a) + P(A \cap B)

In which P(a) is the probability of a but not b and P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B.

By the same logic, we have that:

P(B) = P(b) + P(A \cap B)

Also

P(A or B) is

P(A \cup B) = P(a) + P(b) + P(A \cap B)

Events A and B are mutually exclusive

This means that P(A \cap B) = 0

P(B) = 0.3 = P(b)

P(A \cup B) = P(a) + P(b) + P(A \cap B)

0.5 = P(a) + 0.3

P(a) = 0.2

P(A) = P(a) + P(A \cap B) = 0.2 + 0 = 0.2

Answer:

Think about it

Step-by-step explanation:

If you made $20 in 2 hrs you made $10 per hour

To find out how much you make per certain number of hrs multiply $10 by the number of hours

The equation is y = 10x + 0 <-- this is also answer to number 4

10x is the constant of proportionality I think.

PIT_PIT [208]
So we have 2 variables here: tacos and orders of nachos.

When we translate the paragraphs into equation: 28t + 27n = 114.80 \\ \\ 12t + 3n = 37.20

Now, in this situation we can make use the elimination method by converting 3n to -27n.

- 108t - 27n = - 334.8

Add both equations: 28t + 27n - 108t - 27n = 114.8 - 334.8 \\ \\ - 80t = - 220 \\ \\ t = 2.75

So we find that one taco costs $2.75.

We can plug this into any of the first two equations to find n: 12 \times 2.75 + 3n = 37.2 \\ \\ 33 + 3n = 37.2 \\ \\ 3n = 4.2 \\ \\ n = 1.4

So one order of nachos cost $1.40.

Which statements are TRUE? Select all that apply.
musickatia [10]

Answer:

A, B, D are true

Step-by-step explanation:

A)  Speed = Distance travelled ÷ time taken

                 = 112 ÷ 1.75

                  = 64 miles per hour

True

B) Cost of 6 pens = $7.74

   Cost of 1 pen    = 7.74 ÷ 6 = $ 1.29

   Cost of 7 pens = 1.29 * 7   = $ 9.03

TRUE

C) Speed = 57 miles per hour

4 hour 10 minutes = 250 minutes

Distance traveled in an hour  = 57

Distance traveled in 250 minutes = (57* 250)   ÷ 60 = 237.50 miles

FALSE

D) Cost of 17 cans = $ 38.59

   Cost of 1 can      = 38.59 ÷ 17 = $2.27

   Cost of 3 cans    = 2.27 * 3 = $ 6.81

TRUE

e) Cost of two dozen eggs = $ 8.40

    Cost of an egg                = 8.40 ÷  24  =   $ 0.35

FALSE

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

20:15

Step-by-step explanation:

baiscally add 4:3

4+3=7

then take the total of 35 and divide it by 7 you'd get 5.

4x+3x=35

7x=35

1x=5

4x=5×4=20

3x=5×3=15

4:3 therefore would be 20:15
