Answer:

  8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of white paint to blue paint in the mix is ...

  40% : 20% = 2 : 1

We can multiply this ratio by 4 cups to find ...

  white : blue = 8 cups : 4 cups

There are 8 cups of white paint in the mixture.

Answer: the number of cups of white paint are used is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of cups of paint used in the mixture.

40% of the mixture is white paint, this means that the number of cups of white paint used is 0.4x

20% of the mixture is blue paint, this means that the number of cups of blue paint used is 0.2x

If the rest is red, it means that the number of red cups used is

x - (0.2x + 0.4x) = 0.4x

There are 4 cups of blue paint used in a batch of lilac paint. This means that

0.2x = 4

x = 4/0.2 = 20

Therefore, the number of cups of white paint are used is

0.4 × 20 = 8

Theoretical probability is the probability that an event occurs when all of the outcomes of the experiment are equally likely.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

1. The probability that we select a red marble is 1/3.

We found this out by taking the amount of red marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. The total amount of marbles is 18 and there are red marbles. So, it would become 6 out of 18 or 6/18. Then, we simplify 6/18 to the simplest form. The greatest common factor of both of those numbers is 6. Lastly, we divide each of them by 6 to get the simplest form.

6/18 = (6/6)/(18/6)

(6/6)/(18/6) = 1/3

So, therefore, the theoretical probability of picking a red marble is 1/3.

2. The probability that we select a blue marble is 2/3.

We can find this out by taking the amount of blue marbles there are and the total amount of marbles. We know that the total amount of marble is 18 and there are 12 blue marbles. So, we simply get the GCF (greatest common factor) and divide them by it.

Greatest Common Factor of 12 and 18 = 6

12/18 = (12/6)/(18/6)

(12/6)/(18/6) = 2/3

Thus, the theoretical probability of picking a blue marble is 2/3.

Taylor is making a mini apple pie with a radius of 3.14 in for her math class. what is the area of her mini pie?
artcher [175]

So First of all we need to know how to find the area of a circle.

Assuming that the apple pie is the shape of a circle

The formula for area is \pi r^{2}

Well we know that the radius = 3.14

And we know that \pi = 3.14 as well.

All we have to do is multiply..

3.14 x 3.14^{2} = 30.95

So the area of the pie is 30.95 in


Good Luck! :)

What is the graph of the function? <br><br> f(x) = 2x2
spayn [35]
Let's plug in a few points to see which graph belongs to the function f(x) = 2x^2

Let's say x =0, let's find y!
2(0)^2 = 2(0) = 0

So one point on our line is (0.0)

Just finding this point right here eliminates 3 of the answer choices. Your answer is the graph that goes through the point (0,0)

For your added convenience, I have attached the graph. :)
