there are 270 at Colfax Middle School, where the ratio of boys to girls is 5:4. there are 180 students at Winthrop Middle School

where the ratio of boys to girls is 4:5. The two schools hold a dance and all students from both schools attend. What fraction of the students at the dance are girls? Make sure to show all work.

Colfax:

Add the ratio numbers together:

5 + 4 = 9

Divide total students by that:

270 / 9 = 30

Multiply each ratio by 30:

Boys = 30 *5 = 150

Girls = 30 * 4 = 120


Do the same for Winthrop:

4 +5 = 9

180 /9 = 20

Boys = 20 * 4 = 80

Girls = 20 * 5 = 100


Total students = 270 + 180 = 450

Total Girls = 120 + 100 = 220


Fraction that are girls = 220 / 450 which reduces to 22/45

An unbalanced die is manufactured so that there is a 20% chance of rolling a “six." The die is rolled 6
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Probability of rolling at least 4 sixes is 0.01696.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an unbalanced die is manufactured so that there is a 20% chance of rolling a “six." The die is rolled 6  times.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r};x=0,1,2,3,.......

where, n = number trials (samples) taken = 6 trials

            r = number of success = at least 4

           p = probability of success which in our question is probability of

                 rolling a “six", i.e; p = 0.20

<u><em>Let X = Number of sixes on a die</em></u>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 6, p = 0.20)

Now, Probability of rolling at least 4 sixes is given by = P(X \geq 4)

P(X \geq 4) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

=  \binom{6}{4} \times 0.20^{4} \times (1-0.20)^{6-4}+\binom{6}{5} \times 0.20^{5} \times (1-0.20)^{6-5}+\binom{6}{6} \times 0.20^{6} \times (1-0.20)^{6-6}

=  15 \times 0.20^{4} \times 0.80^{2}+6 \times 0.20^{5} \times 0.80^{1}+1 \times 0.20^{6} \times 0.80^{0}

=  0.0154 + 0.00154 + 0.000064

=  0.01696

<em />

Therefore, probability of rolling at least 4 sixes is 0.01696.

A line has a slope of 5 and passes through the point (-1,2).
Andreyy89

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=m= 5

points=(-1,2)

<u>By point-slope form:</u>

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})

<u>Substitute the values in formula:</u>

<u>y-2=5(x+1)</u>        (It is the point slope form)

Now,

<u>Slope intercept form:</u>

y-2=5x+5

y=5x+5+2

<u>y=5x+7</u>

Claire traveled 701 miles. She drove 80 miles every day. On the last day of her trip she only drove 61 miles. Write and solve an
mina [271]

Answer:

Claire traveled for 9 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Distance traveled = 701 miles

Distance traveled each day = 80 miles

Distance traveled on last day = 61 miles

We need to find the number of days Claire traveled.

Solution:

Let the number of days Claire traveled be denoted by 'd'.

Now we can say that;

Total Distance traveled is equal to sum of Distance traveled each day multiplied by number of days and Distance traveled on last day.

framing in equation form we get;

80d+61=701

Now Subtracting both side by 61 using Subtraction Property of Equality we get;

80d+61-61=701-61\\\\80d = 640

Now Dividing both side by 80 we get;

\frac{80d}{80}=\frac{640}{80}\\\\d=8

Hence Claire traveled 80 miles in 8 days and 61 miles on last day making of total <u>9 days</u> of travel.

What is the inequality shown
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

We can also graph inequalities on the number line. The following graph represents the inequality x≤2 . The dark line represents all the numbers that satisfy x≤2 . If we pick any number on the dark line and plug it in for x, the inequality will be true.
