25.8>2.5x+5, so 20.8=2.5x, so 8.32=x. Therefore, 8 containers will be completely full.

A health study tracked a group of person for five years. At the beginning of the study, 20% were classified as heavy smokers, 30
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: 0.421

Step-by-step explanation:

Heavy smoker = 20%

Light smoker = 30%

Non smokers = 50%

We can assume that the probability that a non-smoker is going to die in the next 5 years be y.

Since light smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to die during the five-year study, the probability will be:

= 2 × y = 2y

Probability for the Heavy smokers will be:= 2 × 2y = 4y

The expected number of people that will die for each in the next 5 years will be:

Non smoker:

= 50% × y

= 0.5 × y

= 0.5y

Light smoker:

= 30% × 2y

= 0.3 × 2y.

= 0.6y

Heavy smoker:

= 20% × 4y.

= 0.2 × 4y

= 0.8y

Total = 0.5y + 0.6y + 0.8y = 1.9y

The probability that the participant was a heavy smoker will be:

= 0.8y/1.9y

= 0.421

3(q−7)=27 need help plzz 1st peep gets brainlest
ANTONII [103]

━━━━━━━☆☆━━━━━━━

▹ Answer

<em>q = 16</em>

▹ Step-by-Step Explanation

3(q - 7) = 27

3q - 21 = 27

Add 21 to both sides:

21 + 21 = na

27 + 21 = 48

3q = 48

Divide both sides by 3:

3/3 = q

48/3 = 16

q = 16

Hope this helps!

Carly's family traveled 3/10 of the distance to her grandmother's house on Saturday. They traveled 3/7 of the remaining distance
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

3/10 of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday

Step-by-step explanation:

Carly's family traveled distance of Saturday = \frac{3}{10}

Remaining distance =1-\frac{3}{10}=\frac{7}{10}

They traveled 3/7 of the remaining distance on Sunday.

So, Distance traveled on Sunday =\frac{3}{7}(\frac{7}{10})

Distance traveled on Sunday =\frac{3}{10}

Fraction of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday =\frac{3}{10}

Hence 3/10 of the total distance to her grandmother's house was traveled on Sunday
