Take the number of lemon candies in the bag and divide it by the total number of candies there are. 

The total number of candies: 6 cherry + 3 orange + 2 lemon = 11 candies
The number of lemon candies: 2 

The probability is 2/11. You can actually divide it and then figure out the decimal value or if you want to the percentage then you can just multiply the decimal value by 100.

A construction crew is lengthening a road that originally measured 47 miles. The crew is adding one mile to the road each day. L
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

78 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Original length, L = 47 miles

Additional length (miles) added per day, = 1 mile

Representing as an equation :

L(D) = original length + additional length per day * number of days

Let, D = number of days

L(D) = 47 + D

Length after 31 days :

L(31) = 47 + 31

= 78 miles

What are two numbers that when multiplied equal -2, and also when added equals 1
lara [203]
Two numbers that multiply to -2 could be

-1 and 2

Or

-2 and 1.

Since -1+2=1, -1 and 2 are the numbers you are looking for.

Hope this helps!

Which statement is true?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

  |-3| = 3 and -|-4| = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function changes the sign to positive, if it isn't already. The usual rules of arithmetic and logic apply to these statements.

|-3| = 3 (true) and -|-4| = -4 (true)   ⇒ this statement is true

|-3| = 3 (true) and |-4| = -4 (false)   ⇒ this statement is false

-|3| = 3 (false) and |4| = 4 (true)   ⇒ this statement is false

|-3| = 3 (true) and -|4| = 4 (false)   ⇒ this statement is false

<em>Additional comment</em>

A compound "and" statement is only true if <u>all</u> of the parts of it are true.

-3 + 42 &gt; 3<br><br> x &gt; 15<br> x &lt; 15<br> x &gt; 13<br> x &lt; 13
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Where's the x?

I am assuming that the problem must be

-3 + 42 > 3x

if that is true, then

<u>x < 13</u>.

As this statement is, -3 + 42 > 3 is a true statement because -3 + 42 = 39, and

39 > 3 [39 is always greater than 3]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me know if you need a step by step.
