Answer:

The ratio of white:milk:dark is  9:8:4

Explantion:

Let w represent white chocolate , m represent milk chocolate and  d represent dark chocolate

The ratio of white to not white is 3:4

Here not white means , it can be milk or dark chocolate

Then

w : (m+d) = 3:4 -----------------------------(1)

The ratio of not dark to dark is 17:4.

Again not dark means , it will be white or milk chocolate

Then,

(w+m) : d = 17:4  -----------------------------(2)

Representing (1) in fractions

\frac{w}{m+d} =\frac{3}{4}

4w = 3(m+d)

4w = 3m +3d

4w -3m =3d------------------------------(3)

 Representing (2) in fractions

\frac{(w+m)}{d}= \frac{17}{4}

4(w+m) = 17d

4w +4m = 17d---------------------------(4)

Subtracting (3) from (4)

4w +4m = 17d

4w -3m = 3d

(-)

-------------------------------

7m = 14d

-------------------------------

\frac{m}{d} = \frac{14}{7}

\frac{m}{d} = \frac{2}{1}

m:d = 2:1

Since w:(m+d)=3:4 let's make m:d a multiple of 4.

m:d = 8:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4 = 9:12

w:m:d = 9:8:4

A lottery ticket has a grand prize of $31 million. The probability of winning the grand prize is .000000018. Determine the expec
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

$0.558

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is the sum of the value of each outcome times the chance that it happens. In this case, there are two outcomes:

  1. Win $31 million
  2. Win $0

Then our expected value can be calculated as:

EV=(31,000,000)(0.000000018)+(0)(1-0.000000018)=0.558

If a wheel with a radius of 80 inches spins at a rate of 50 revolutions per minute, find the approximate linear velocity in mile
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\
s=rw\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
w=\textit{angular speed}
\end{cases}\qquad w=\cfrac{50 rev}{min}\cdot \cfrac{2\pi }{rev}
\\\\\\
w=\cfrac{100\pi }{min}\qquad s=80in\cdot \cfrac{100\pi }{min}\implies s=\cfrac{8000\pi\  in}{min}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{now to convert it to miles/hr}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{8000\pi\ in}{min}\cdot \cfrac{ft}{12in}\cdot \cfrac{mile}{5280ft}\cdot \cfrac{60min}{hr}\implies \cfrac{8000\pi \cdot 60\ in}{12\cdot 5280\ hr}

What is the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 15 cm? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

1767 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use volume V = 4/3 π r³

We have diameter of 15 cm. To get radius, we need to divide diameter by 2.

r = 7.5 cm

So now plug in r = 7.5 then calculate V:

V = 4/3 π ( 7.5 )³

V =  4/3 π * 421.875 ≈ 1767.145 ≈ 1767

Hope this helps.
