Answer:

m = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

4m + 2(8) = 5(8) (Given)

4m + 16 = 40 (Simplify)

4m + 16 - 16 = 40 - 16 (Subtraction Property of Equality)

4m = 24 (Simplify)

$\frac{4m}{4} = \frac{24}{4}$ (Division Property of Equality)

m = 6 (Simplify)

If a single fair die is rolled find the probability of a 3 given that the number rolled is odd

STALIN [3.7K]

Given that the number rolled is odd, it can be 1, 3, or 5 = 3 possibilities.

Only one of the possibilities is success . . . rolling a 3 .

So the probability of success is 1/3 = 33 and 1/3 percent .

You must calculate the number of sheets of plywood needed for subflooring. Each sheet of plywood measures 4'by 8. The measuremen

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

25 sheets of plywood will be needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Each sheet of plywood measures $4ft*8ft=32ft^{2}$ .

We have to cover the surface of the house, minus the surface of the hole of the stairs.

$Surface _{to cover} = Surface _{house} -Surface _{hole}= (28ft*30ft)-(12ft*4ft)= 840ft^{2}-48ft^{2}=792ft^{2}$

To know how many sheets will be needed, we divide the surface to be covered by the surface of each sheet

$Sheets_{needed} =\frac{Surface _{house}}{Surface _{sheet}} =\frac{792ft^{2}}{32\frac{ft^{2}}{sheet} } = 24,75 sheets$

As we can't buy 0,75 of a sheet, we round it up, i.e. we will need 25 sheets of plywood for subflooring.

The price of one bag of popcorn is $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x represent the cost of a bag of popcorn

y represent the cost of a drink.

According to given statement;

4x+12y=30 Eqn 1

x+6y=11.25 Eqn 2

Multplying Eqn 2 by 2

$2(x+6y=11.25)\\2x+12y=22.50\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 1

$(4x+12y)-(2x+12y)=30-22.50\\4x+12y-2x-12y=7.50\\2x=7.50$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{7.50}{2}\\x=3.75$

4x+12y=30 and x+6y=11.25 can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink.

The price of one bag of popcorn is $3.75
