The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Since the number of charter schools is eight less than twice the number of alternative schools, then it’s:

<span>2x - 8 </span><span>
<span>and then
<span>2x - 8 = 36 </span>
<span>2x = 44 </span>
x = 22 </span></span>

So there are 22 Alternative Schools in the county. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Mrs. Cleaver mixes 1.24 liters of red paint with 3 times as much blue paint to make purple paint. She pours the paint equally in
otez555 [7]

The amount of blue paint in each container is \fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}.

Further explanation:

The mixture mixed by Mrs. Cleaver contains 1.24 litres of red paint with 3 times blue paint to obtain purple paint.

So, the amount of blue paint is calculated as,

{3} \times {1.24}=3.72 \text { liters}

Therefore, the total amount of paint mixture is the sum of blue paint and red paint.

\fbox{\begin \\\begin{aligned} \text{Total paint}= 1.24+3.72\\=4.96 \text{ liters}\\\end{aligned}\\\end{minispace}}

Now, as Mrs. Cleaver divides the paint mixture equally in 5 containers so the amount of paint in one container is calculated as,

\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Amount of paint in one container}&= \dfrac{4.96}{5}\\ &=0.992 \text{ liters} \end {aligned}}

Since amount of blue paint mixed is three times the red paint so the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is \dfrac{3}{4}.  

Now, as it is known that the fraction of blue paint to the total paint is \dfrac{3}{4} and the amount of paint in a container is 0.992 \text{ liters} then the blue paint in one container is calculated as,

\boxed{\begin{aligned}\text{Blue paint in one container} =\dfrac{3}{4} \times 0.992\\=0.248 \text{ liters}\end{aligned}}

Thus, the amount of blue paint in each of the five containers is \fbox{\begin\\\ 0.744 liters \end{minispace}}.

a family has five children. the probability of having a girl is 1/2. whats probability of having at leasr 4 girls g'
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Probability of having at least 4 Girls

= 0.6875

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of having at least 4 Girls is 1-probability of having exactly 3 girls

Total number of children= 5 = N

Probability of having a girl p = 0.5

Probability of not having a girl q= 0.5

X= 3

Probability of at least 4 girls is given by

Probability= NCX(p)^x(q)^(N-x)

Probability = 5C3(0.5)^3(0.5)^(5-3)

Probability = 5C3(0.5)^3(0.5)^2

Probability= 5!/3!2!(0.5)^3(0.5)^2

Probability= 10(0.125)(0.25)

Probability= 0.3125

Probability of having at least 4 Girls

= 1- 0.3125

= 0.6875

Help me pleaseeeeeeeeee ​
Pavel [41]

Answer:

g(-2) = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

By looking at the graph, we can see that g(-2) where x = -2 is represented. Because x = -2, we can see that the y-value that correlates to this x-value is -1.

So g(-2) = -1.
