Two numbers add up to 102 and the first is 8 bigger than the second. What are the two numbers?

2 answers:

8 0

When solving algebraic word problems, we first set a variable to what we are trying to find. Then some "then" statements.

Let x = the smaller number
Then x + 8 = the bigger number

The sum of x and x + 8 is 102.

x + x + 8 = 102

Solve for x.

x + x + 8 = 102
2x + 8 = 102 <--- Combine like terms
2x = 94 <--- Subtract each side by 8
x = 47

Then the bigger number is 47 + 8 or 55.

So, the two numbers are 47 and 55.

The correct numbers are 55 and 47, because they have a difference of 8 and a sum of 102.

Which is greater 1/4 or 3/4

grigory [225]

<span>If we are to compare which among the given fractions is smaller, we first determine the decimal equivalent of each. If we are to solve for those, we determine that 3/4 is equal to 0.75 and 1/4 is equal to 0.25. This is done by dividing the numerator by the denominator. Comparing 0.75 and 0.25, we can conclude that 0.75 or 3/4 is greater compared to 0.25 or 1/4. </span>

Half of a set of the parts are manufactured by machine A and half by machine B. Ten percent of all the parts are defective. Six

baherus [9]

Answer:

The probability that a part was manufactured on machine A is 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that Half of a set of parts are manufactured by machine A and half by machine B.

P(A)=0.5

Let d represents the probability that part is defective.

Ten percent of all the parts are defective.

P(d) = 0.10

Six percent of the parts manufactured on machine A are defective.

P(d|A)=0.06

Now we need to find the probability that a part was manufactured on machine A, and given that the part is defective :

$P(A|d) =\frac{P(A \cap d)}{P(d)}$

$P(A|d) =\frac{P(d|A)\times P(A)}{P(d)}\\P(A|d)= \frac{0.06\times 0.5}{0.10}$

$P(A|d)= 0.3$

Hence, the probability that a part was manufactured on machine A is 0.3
