A section of a boardwalk is made using 15boards. Each board is 9/1/4 inches wide. The total width of the section is 144 inches.

The spacing between each board is equal. What is the width of the spacing between each board.

If there are 15 boards there are 14 gaps in-between. 
But first, 15 boards each 9 and 1/4th inches so you get  a total of 138 inches and 3/4th
If you subtract that from 144 you get 5 inches and 1/4th. The remaining amount is the total of all of the distance from the spacing.
Then you divide that by 14 (number of gaps/spacing in-between.)
So you get .375 inches. (3/8)
So width of the spacing between each board is 3/8ths of a inch

Consider rolling two fair dice one 3-sided the other 5-sided
Ne4ueva [31]

Since the dice are fair and the rolling are independent, each single outcome has probability 1/15. Every time we choose

1\leq x\leq 3,\quad 1\leq y \leq 5

We have P(X=x)=\frac{1}{3} and P(Y=y)=\frac{1}{5}, because the dice are fair.

Now we use the assumption of independence to claim that

P(X=x, Y=y) = P(X=x)\cdot P(Y=y) =\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot\dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{1}{15}

Now, we simply have to count in how many ways we can obtain every possible outcome for the sum. Consider the attached table: we can see that we can obtain:

  • 2 in a unique way (1+1)
  • 3 in two possible ways (1+2, 2+1)
  • 4 in three possible ways
  • 5 in three possible ways
  • 6 in three possible ways
  • 7 in two possible ways
  • 8 in a unique way

This implies that the probabilities of the outcomes of W=X+Y are the number of possible ways divided by 15: we can obtain 2 and 8 with probability 1/15, 3 and 7 with probability 2/15, and 4, 5 and 6 with probabilities 3/15=1/5

The sale price of a table is $472 it was 20% off what was the original price?
ira [324]
To solve, set an equation:

472=0.8x

Divide both sides by 0.8

472/0.8=0.8x/0.8

x=590

Answer: The original price was $590

either

-(3x+3)-2x (less than) -4(x-2)-2

-3x+3-2x (less than) -4x +8-2

-5x+3 (less than)-4x+6

Or if you need it simplified

-5x +3 (less than) -4x+6

+4x                           4x

-x+3 (less than) 6

    -3                  -3

-x(less than) 3

(-x/-1) Less than (3/-1)

x (less than) -3

(didnt have the less than greater than sign so typed it)
