80 times could Kaitlyn expect to pull out a blue chip.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

The total number of chips in the bag = 7 white+5 red+ 8 blue = 20 chips.
Probability (blue chip) = number of blue chips / total chips

P(blue) = 8/20

She does this 200 times.

P(blue) for 200 times = (8/20) $\times$ 200 = 80.

The robber stole 280 dollars' worth of one-dollar bills. He also stole some 100-dollar bills, 50-dollar bills, and 20-dollar bil

salantis [7]

E, because he is stealing everything, meaning he has a net profit. So, you would add everything. Since he 280 $1 bills, he just stole $280 which is a definite quantity, so we don't need a variable for it. Since everything else are indefinite quantities, we need variables (x, y, z). But, yeah, E should be the answer.

Given right triangle ABC with altitude BD drawn to hypotenuse AC. If AC =16 and DC=5 what is the length of BC in the simplest ra

Nana76 [90]

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

Solution:

Given ABC is a right triangle.

AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.

AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.

AC = 16 and DC = 5

<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{BC}{DC}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{16}{x}=\frac{x}{5}$

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5 = x\times x$

$\Rightarrow 80= x^2$

$\Rightarrow 16\times 5= x^2$

Taking square root on both sides.

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{16\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{4^2\times 5} = \sqrt{x^2}$

square and square roots get canceled, we get

$\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{ 5} = x$

The length of BC is $4 \sqrt{5}$ .

(d) A car travels at an average speed of 80 km/h. How far does it travel in: (1) 2 hours? (11) 12 minutes?

zepelin [54]

Answer is (1) 160 km in 2 hours and
(2) 16 miles in 12 minutes.

Step by step.
80 km / 1 hour = x km /2 hours
Cross multiply =
x = 160

The second one requires a little more math. Because we are looking at how far in minutes, we change the rate of 80km in 1 hour to 80 km in 60 minutes.
80 km / 60 = x / 12
Cross multiply
12x = 960
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12
X = 16

I did the math on a print screen to explain the cross multiply.
