Answer:

3500 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.

Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.

Therefore:

g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5

That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:

1400 = 2c/5

To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:

1400 = 2c/5

1400 * 5 = 2c

7000 = 2c

c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons

The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.

rodikova [14]
Well, from what I can tell he has 1 50 cent piece, 2 Dimes, and 2 Pennies. Meaning 5 objects in total, considering that it asks for "at least ten cents" that would mean the 2 Dimes and the 1 50 cent piece.
Since that is 3 objects out of the 5, being 3/5ths, that would mean he has a 60% chance or probability for the first draw.

Hopefully that helps. ^ ^
