Answer:

0.01863, yes preference

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a class consists of 12 boys and 12 girls. The teacher picks five students to present their work to the rest of the class  and says that the five students are being selected at random

Here selecting any 5 students from the group of total 24 students is combination because order does not matter.

Total no of ways of selecting any 5 from total 24 = 24C5\\=42504

No of ways of selecting only 5 girls = No of ways of selecting random 5 girls from total 12 girls

= 12C5\\=792

a) the probability be that all five students

selected are girls=\frac{792}{42504} \\=0.01863

b) Since the probability for selecting all girls is very small and near to 0, it is unusual to select all girls if done at random.  Hence the teacher had a preference for girls.

The length of one side of a triangular lot is 6 m less than 3 times the length of the second side. The third side is 8 m longer
Tanya [424]

second side = x

first side = 3x - 6

third side = (3x - 6) + 8

The perimeter = 80m and is equal x + (3x - 6) + [(3x - 6) + 8]

x + 3x - 6 + 3x - 6 + 8 = 80

7x - 4 = 80 |+4

7x = 84 |:7

x = 12 m

3x - 6 = 3(12) - 6 = 30 m

(3x - 6) + 8 = 3x + 2 = 3(12) + 2 = 38 m

Answer: 12m, 30m, 38m

20 – 10 + 5x = 40 What value of x makes the equation true? *<br> explanition plz
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

If you solve for x you get your answer. First, 20 - 10 gets you 10. Then you subtract that 10 from both sides of your equation so it now looks like 5x = 30. Last you divide both sides by 5 and get x = 6.

Joseph, después de hacer compras, piensa de la siguiente forma: "Gasté los 3/5 de lo que no gasté y aún me quedan S/. 60 más de
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Joseph tenía 240 soles

Step-by-step explanation:

Tenemos lo siguiente

Cantidad total = Cantidad gastada + Cantidad restante.

Sabemos que Cantidad gastada = 3/5 Cantidad restante y que Cantidad restante = Cantidad gastada + 60.

Sea x la cantidad gastada e y la cantidad restante. Tenemos las ecuaciones

x = \frac{3}{5}y, y = x+60

Reemplazando la segunda en la primera, tenemos que

x = \frac{3}{5}(x+60)= \frac{3}{5}x + 36 (aquí simplemente distribuímos la multiplicación.

Restando 3/5 x a ambos lados, tenemos que

x-\frac{3}{5}x = \frac{2}{5}x = 36

Multiplicando por 5 y dividiendo por dos ambos lados, tenemos que

x=\frac{5\cdot 36}{2} = 90

Es decir, Joseph gastó 90 soles. Entonces y = 90+60 = 150 soles.

Es decir, en total, Joseph tenía 150+90= 240 soles.
