The answer is 2 plates and .50 glaze left over.

How did I get this?

First lets calculate how many bowls can we glaze. 
5 bowls * 7/8 of a pint = 4.375 pints
4.375 = how many glaze we will need to make 5 bowls.

6 pints - 4.375pints = 1.625 pints left over after we glaze the bowls. 

Now, we need to figure out how many plates we can make with 1.625 glaze.

P X 9/16 = 1.625
Multiply both sides by 16/9 to isolate the variable.
P = 1.625*16/9 
P = 2.88 plates

So, we can only glaze 2 plates. 

How many glaze is left over?
First, how many glaze did we have left over from the bowls? 1.625 glaze
Then, how many plates did we make? 2 at .5625 each = 1.125 glaze

1.625 - 1.125 = .50 glaze left over.

The answer is 2 plates and .50 glaze left over.

Susie ran a race. She ran 55 miles an hour, and the race took her tt hours to complete. How long was the race?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Formula for speed is given by;

\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}

As per the given statement:

Susie ran a race. She ran 55 miles an hour, and the race took her t hours to complete.

⇒Speed = 55 miles an hour

Time = t hour

Substitute the given values in the given formula we have;

55 = \frac{\text{Distance}}{t}

Multiply t both sides we get;

\text{Distance} = 5t miles.

Therefore, 5t miles long was the race.

A box contains four blue and eight red balls. Jim and Jack start drawing balls from the box, respectively, one at a time, at ran
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

the probability that Jack draws the blue ball is 0.38539

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

box contains

blue balls = 5

red balls = 8

Jim and Jack start drawing balls from the box, respectively, one at a time, at random, and without replacement

Now,

on the first attempted;

⇒ ( 8/13) × ( 5/12) = 10/39  

on the second attempt;

⇒ ( 8/13 ) ( 7/12) ( 6/11 ) ( 5/10 ) = 14/143

on the third attempt;

⇒ ( 8/13 ) ( 7/12) ( 6/11 ) ( 5/10 ) ( 4/9 ) ( 5/8 ) = 35/1287

on the fourth attempt;

⇒  ( 8/13 ) ( 7/12) ( 6/11 ) ( 5/10 ) ( 4/9 ) ( 3/8 ) ( 2/7 ) ( 5/6 ) = 5/1287

so we add everything;  

⇒ 10/39 + 14/143 + 35/1287 + 5/1287

= 0.38539

Therefore, the probability that Jack draws the blue ball is 0.38539
