(1) 3x + 2y = 51
(2) 2x + 4y = 54
2*(1) 6x + 4y = 102
2*(1)-(2) 4x + 0y = 48
Divide by 4: x = 12
y = 7.5

Mya and ERIC WORK IN A BAKERY . MYA HAS 3 TIMEA AS MUCH FLOUR AS ERIC .MYA HAS 15.81LB OF FLOUR .USE THE EQUATION 3F = 15.81 TO
Pavel [41]

Answer:

5.27 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mya has 3 times as much floor as Eric. Mya has 15.81 lb of floor. The relation is given by :

Let Eric has F floor.

3F = 15.81 ...(1)

We need to find how much flour Eric has.

Dividing both sides by 15.81.

F = 15.81/3

F = 5.27 lb

Hence, Eric has 5.27 lb of flour.

There are 3 3/4 pounds of bricks in a bag. Each brick weighs 5/8 of a pound. How many bricks are in the bag.
Bess [88]

Answer: There are 6 bricks in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert from mixed number to decimal number. To do it, divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator and add the result to the whole number part. Then:

3\frac{3}{4}\ lb=(3+0.75)\ lb=3.75\ lb

Convert from fraction to decimal number. To do it you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. Then, you get:

\frac{5}{8}lb=0.625\ lb

Let be "x" the number of bricks in the bag<em>.</em>

<em> </em>Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{1}{0.625}=\frac{x}{3.75}

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

(3.75)(\frac{1}{0.625})=x\\\\x=6

The manufacturer of a fertilizer guarantees that, with the aid of the fertilizer, 80% of planted seeds will germinate. Suppose t
olga nikolaevna [1]

The Probability of that more than 7 of them germinate is 0.2948.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3><h3>Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1.</h3>

We are to determine the probability that more than 7 of 10 seeds (i.e. 8, 0r 9 0r 10) germinate.

The probability that all 10 seeds germinate is equal 0.80¹⁰= 0.1073 = 10.73%.

The probability that only the first (only the second, etc ) seed does not germinate is equal 0.20 X 0.80⁹= 0.0268 = 2.68%.

The probability that 6 seeds germinate is the sum of the probabilities that only the first seed does not germinate, only the second one does not germinate, etc, and equals to 10 X 0.0268  = 0.268 = 26.8%.

The total probability that more than 7 of 10 seeds germinate is the sum of the probabilities that 10 seeds germinate and that 7 seeds germinate, i.e. 2.68 % + 26.8 % = 29.48 %.

Thus, The Probability of that more than 7 of them germinate is 0.2948.

Pedro has a student loan of $62,845. This loan has a simple interest rate of 7% per year. What is the amount of interest that Pe
Nat2105 [25]
I believe it would be $4,399.15 because if you use the formula I=P*R*T
P=62,845
R=0.07 or 7%
T=1 year period
So overall your equation is 62845*0.07*1=$4,399.15
Now at this point the interest is added onto the principal amount to figure out some new amount after one year so:
62845.00+4399.15=$67,244.15
