Answer:

36 or 6 (read the explanation, it'll all come together)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you enter a room already filled with 34 people, so the total number of people in the room is 35.

Then, the shooter enters, making the total 36, and then kills 30 of them.

I think we can all agree on these two statements.

However, how many people are left in the end are actually depending on how the individual thinks about it.

See what I mean: Some may think that when the shooter kills 30 of the people in said room, then there are six remaining, right?

I mean, they are dead, so they don't belong in the room... or do they?

Some may think that when the 30 die, they are officially out of the room (perhaps in heaven or whatever afterlife you believe in??), and if you think this, then the answer is 6 people.

However, If you say that the 30 people who died is still in the room (as one can make the argument that their bodies are still physically in the room), then the total is still 36.

Hope this helps :)

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The probability that Chang gets dressed with a white shirt and tan pants is 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Chang has 2 shirts, a white one and a black one, and he also has 2 pairs of pants, one blue and one tan, to determine what is the probability, if Chang gets dressed in the dark, that he winds up wearing the white shirt and tan pants the following calculation must be performed:

Each shirt = 50% chance

Each pants = 50% chance

0.50 x 0.50 = X

0.25 = X

Therefore, the probability that Chang gets dressed with a white shirt and tan pants is 25%.

Answer:

w=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a prism is SA= 2lw+2lh+2hw

We are trying to find out the width if the SA is 240 square inches, length is 12 inches, and the height is 5 inches. Let's plug these numbers into the equation.

240=(2*12*w)+(2*12*5)+(2*5*w)

          24w+120+10w

240= 34w+120

-120           -120

120= 34w

120/34 = 34w/34

w is approximately equal to 3.5 which can be rounded to 4

w=4

Hope this is right! It was confusing at first but I understood it!

rosijanka [135]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area in square inches is (6 in )(12 in) = 72 in^2.

Recall that 1 ft^2 = 144 in^2.

Then

  72 in^2         1 ft^2

--------------- * --------------- = 0.5 ft^2

Which one is the answer for these qution 4x=5(9x+2)<br> A)5/2<br> B)41/10<br> C)-10/41<br> D)10/41
stealth61 [152]
C. -10/41

First use the distributive property to get 4x = 45x + 10
Use subtraction on both sides by 10
Again use subtraction of 4x on both sides
You now have -10 = 41x
Use division to get x alone and you now have -10/41 = x
