Answer:

The number of spoons bought by Jill is 3

The number of forks bought by Jill is 3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number eating utensils bought by Jill = 6

The total money spend on the utensils = $ 21

The cost of each spoons = $ 3

the cost of each forks = $ 4

Let The number of spoons = s

And The number of forks = f

Now, According to question

The total number eating utensils bought by Jill = The number of spoons + The number of forks

I.e s + f = 6          ..........A

And The total money spend on the utensils = The cost of each spoons ×  The number of spoons + The cost of each forks × The number of forks

Or, $ 21 = $ 3 × s + $ 4 × f             ........B

Or, 3 s + 4 f = 21

Solving the equations

I.e 4 × ( s + f ) - ( 3 s + 4 f ) = ( 4 × 6 ) - 21

or, 4 s + 4 f - 3 s - 4 f = 24 - 21

or, ( 4 s - 3 s ) + ( 4 f - 4 f ) = 3

Or, s + 0 = 3

∴   s = 3

So, The number of spoons = s = 3

Put the value of s in Eq A

So, s + f = 6

Or, 3 + f = 6

∴  f = 6 - 3

I.e f = 3

So, The number of forks = f = 3

Hence The number of spoons bought by Jill is 3 and The number of forks bought by Jill is 3 . Answer

Find the probability that when a couple has three children, at least one of themis a girl. (Assume that boys and girls are equal
kvv77 [185]

Answer:   \bold{\dfrac{7}{8}=87.5\%}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

"At least one girl" means P(1 girl) + P(2 girls) + P(3 girls)   or   1 - P(all boys)

I will use the latter: 1 - P(all boys)

P(all boys) = \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{8}

1 - P(all\ boys) \quad = \quad 1-\dfrac{1}{8}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{7}{8}}

The points in the table lie on a line. Find the slope of the line.
maria [59]

The slope of the line is -\frac{3}{4}

First, you must find 2 points.

(-6,8)    (-2,5)

Then, you must substitute the value of the points in.

\frac{5-8 }{-2+6}

Finally, simplify the fraction.

-\frac{3}{4}

Why would "-7" in the expression (x^2+3)-(x-7) become positive?
ryzh [129]
You would use the distributive property with the negative. So the second x becomes negative, but since the 7 is already negative it becomes positive. Think of it as if you put the two dashes together you can make a plus sign.

56 is 80 percent of what number
monitta
Let us assume the number to be = x
Then
(80/100) * x = 56
4x/5 = 56
4x = 56 * 5
4x = 280
x = 280/4
  = 70
The value of the unknown number is 70. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. You can always use this method for solving similar problems in future without requiring any help from outside. Only thing that needs to be taken care of is the calculation part.
