Two boys and three girls are auditioning to play the piano for a school production. Two students will be chosen, one as the pian

Sergio039 [100]

The answer is 0.24

To calculate this, a multiplication rule is used. The multiplication rule calculates the probability that both of two events will occur. In this method, the probabilities of each event are multiplied. Here we have two events:

1. The probability that the pianist will be a boy,

2. The probability that the alternate will be a girl.

So, let's calculate these probabilities:

There are in total 5 children:

2 boys + 3 girls = 5 children.

1. The probability that the pianist will be a boy is 2 boys out of 5 children, which is 2/5.

2. The probability that the alternate will be a girl is 3 girls out of 5 children, which is 3/5.

The probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl is:

2/5 × 3/5 = 6/25

6/25 × 4/4 = 24/100 = 0.24

A camera has a listed price of $587.98 before tax. If the sales tax rate is 8.5%, find the total cost of the camera with sales t

ikadub [295]

Answer:

$637.95

Step-by-step explanation:

convert 8.5% to a decimal by dividing by 100:

8.5÷100= 0.085

then multiply.

587.98×(0.085)=49.97

now add.

587.98+49.97=637.95

A manufacturer makes ball bearings out of molten steel. It takes 5.24 cubic centimeters of molten steel to make ? ball bearings

sammy [17]

So we want to know how much ball bearings can be made with 5.24 cm^3 if one ball bearing has a diameter of 1 cm. We know that radius r=d/2=0.5cm So the volume V of one ball bearing is: V=(4/3)*pi*r^3 so V=(4/3)*3.14*(0.5)^3cm^3=0.524cm^3. Now we simply divide the volume of steel by the volume of the ball bearing: 5.24/0.524=10. So we can make 10 ball bearings from 5.24 cm^3 of steel
