Based on the given details, the assumption that must be made about the sun rays if using the method of determining the circumference of a large sphere is that, the rays it emits are of a certain angle from one another and these rays would travel in parallel. These rays are not touching, therefore, its angles are the same. Hope this answer helps.

Answer: 8/33

Step-by-step explanation:

So the probability of picking a purple marble is 8/12, after that there are 11 marbles left in the box

Now the probability of picking a green marble without placing the first marble back is 4/11

So the probability of doing both is 8/12 x 4/11 = 8/33

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After adding 88 red marbles, there are 50 blue marbles out of the 204 marbles total.

Let the number of blue marbles to be added be x.

$\frac{50+x}{204+x}=\frac{5}{12} \\ \\ 600+12x=1020+5x \\ \\ 420=7x \\ \\ x=60$

A pack of cinnamon-scented pencils sells for $7.00. What is the sales tax rate if the total cost of the pencils is $7.28?

Lerok [7]

First divide the new amount (7.28) by the original amount (7) and then times by 100

7.28 / 7 x 100 = 104

This tells us that 7.28 is 104% of 7
Minus this by 100 to get the sales tax rate:
104 - 100 = 4%

You could also subtract 7.28 by 7 first, then divide that by 7 and then multiply by 100:

7.28 - 7 = 0.28
0.28 / 7 x 100 = 4%

Answer:

Using Pyhagoras theoram,

(H)^2 = (B)^2 + (P)^2

B = 13 in

P = 5 in

$(h)^{2} = (13)^{2} + {(5)}^{2} \\ = > (h)^{2} = 169 + 25 \\ = > (h)^{2} = 194 \\ = > h = \sqrt{194} \\ = > h = 13.92$
