Answer:
One number is 17 and the other is 85.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be m and n. Let m = (1/5)n. Note that m+n = 18.
Substituting (1/5)n for m in the 2nd equation, we get (1/5)n + (5/5)n = 18. Multiplying all three terms by 5 to remove fractions, we get n + 5 = 90, so that n = 85. m is (1/5) of 85, or m = 17.
Answer: 0.10d + 0.05n
Note: this value expression is in dollars (not cents)
If you want the expression in cents instead of dollars, then it would be 10d+5n
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The value of just the dimes only is 0.10d dollars
The value of just the nickels only is 0.05n dollars
Combined the total value is 0.10d+0.05n dollars
24 times as it takes 8 times to fill 1 Litre so 8x3 = 24
Answer:
a) 0.0016
b) 0.0224
Step-by-step explanation:
If every question has 5 possible answers, the probability of getting the correct answer by guessing would be 0.20. The probability of getting an incorrect answer would be 0.80.
a)Find the probability she lucks out and answers all four questions correctly.
To do this, Allison would have to guess right the first, second, third AND fourth answers. Therefore, we have to multiply the probabilities:
0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 = 0.0016
The probability that she answers all 4 questions correctly is 0.0016.
b) Find the probability that she passes the quiz.
To pass the quiz, she has to have three OR 4 correct answers:
- The probability that she has 3 correct answers is: 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.80 (since she has to have 1 correct answer and 1 incorrect one) = .0064.
- We already calculated the probability that she guesses 4 answers correctly: 0.0016.
Now, we have to sum up these two scenarios:
0.0064 + 0.016 = 0.0224.
Thus, the probability that she passes the quiz is 0.0224
Because 44 is a bigger number than 4 it is 11 times bigger so the difference is larger than a proportional number
