Answer:
7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
P(blue) = 2:7
This means there are 2 blue parts for every 7 nonblue parts. So 9 parts total! 2:7, then, should be thought of as 2/9.
P(not blue) = 1 - 2/9
= 7/9
Think about it: there must be a total probability of 1, so the probability of <em>not</em> getting blue must be 7/9.
Simplifying
2x + -3(3 * 0.6x + 2.7)
Multiply 3 * 0.6
2x + -3(1.8x + 2.7)
Reorder the terms:
2x + -3(2.7 + 1.8x)
2x + (2.7 * -3 + 1.8x * -3)
2x + (-8.1 + -5.4x)
Reorder the terms:
-8.1 + 2x + -5.4x
Combine like terms: 2x + -5.4x = -3.4x
-8.1 + -3.4x
Answer:
6 < x ≤ 20
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's use the points (0, 50) and (20, 0) to find the equation of the line.
m = Δy / Δx
m = (0 − 50) / (20 − 0)
m = -2.5
y = -2.5x + 50
Now find the time when y = 35.
35 = -2.5x + 50
-15 = -2.5x
x = 6
So there is less than 35 gallons in the barrel when 6 < x ≤ 20.
The beaker is holding 5 centiliters.
