Answer:

There are 8 quarters in the jar.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 20 coins in a jar.

Each coin is either a nickel or a quarter.

The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6

Let's assume there are x number of nickels

The probability of selecting a nickel coin is $\frac{x}{20}$ = 0.6

So x = 0.6 × 20 = 12

Hence there are are 12 nickel coins and 20 - 12 = 8 quarter coins.

Answer: 0.6375

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the event that she'll make the first shot is given as P(A) while making the second shot is P(B). Therefore, P(A/B) = 0.85

Therefore, the probability that she makes both free throws will be denoted as:

= 0.75 × 0.85

= 0.6375

Solve for x: 3 over 3x+ 1 over x+4= 10 over 7x

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/3x + 1/x+4 = 10/7x

3/3x + 1/x+4 = 10/7x , x=0,x=-4

1/x + 1/x+4 = 10/7x

1/x + 1/x+4 - 10/7x = 0

7(x+4)+7x-10(x+4) / 7x*(x+4) = 0

7x+28+7x-10x-40 / 7x*(x+4) = 0

4x-12 / 7x*(x+4) = 0

4x-12=0

4x-=12

x=3,x=0,x=-4

x=3
