Answer:

The lengths are 17 in and 33 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the length of the shorter piece

x +x +16=50

2x = 50-16

2x= 34

x= 17

and

x + 16 = 17+ 16

x + 16 = 33

The lengths are 17 in and 33 in.

Check your answer:

17+33=50

Let x = the length of the shorter piece
x+x+16=50in
2x=50-16
2x=34
x=17

Then

x+16=17+16
x+16=33
Subtract 16 from both sides

The lengths are 17in and 33in

A bag holds 11 beads. 7 are red, the rest are white. Two beads are taken at random from the bag. What is the probability that on
babunello [35]

Answer:

  The probability of the first draw is 100%, because the bead will be either red or white.  For the second draw, a different color must be drawn.

  So, if draw 1 is white, then the probability of draw 2 being red is 7/10.  and if the first draw is red, then the probability of draw two being white is 5/10.
