Answer:

a = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8.1 = 0.9a

Solving

8.1 = 0.9a

Solving for variable 'a'.

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.9a' to each side of the equation.

8.1 + -0.9a = 0.9a + -0.9a

Combine like terms: 0.9a + -0.9a = 0.0

8.1 + -0.9a = 0.0

Add '-8.1' to each side of the equation.

8.1 + -8.1 + -0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

Combine like terms: 8.1 + -8.1 = 0.0

0.0 + -0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

-0.9a = 0.0 + -8.1

Combine like terms: 0.0 + -8.1 = -8.1

-0.9a = -8.1

Divide each side by '-0.9'.

a = 9

Simplifying

a = 9

A box contains 3 coins. One coin has 2 heads and the other two are fair. A coin is chosen at random from the box and flipped. If

Blababa [14]

Answer: Our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coins = 3

Number of coin has 2 heads = 1

Number of fair coins = 2

Probability of getting one of the coin among 3 = $\dfrac{1}{3}$

So, Probability of getting head from fair coin = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Probability of getting head from baised coin = 1

Using "Bayes theorem" we will find the probability that it is the two headed coin is given by

$\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}{\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

No, the answer is not $\dfrac{1}{3}$

Help me please?? solve using proportion

gulaghasi [49]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

2 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion says the ratio of one thing to another is the same for different amounts. Here, we want cups, so we can use the proportion ...

cups/people = 2/12 = x/15 . . . . . where x is the number we want to find

Multiplying by 15 gives ...

x = 15(2/12) = 5/2 = 2 1/2

You will need 2 1/2 cups of zucchini to feed 15 people with the same recipe.
