Answer:
(a) 
(b) Yaw, Musa and Kofi
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): The cost of the business
First, we solve for the fraction of Musa
So, we have:
Make Total the subject
Solving (b): Partners in ascending order
First, represent the fractions as decimals
From the conversion above, the least is 0.1333 (Yaw), then 0.3111 (Musa), then 0.5556 (Kofi).
<em>So, the order is: Yaw, Musa and Kofi</em>
Please, post the instructions along with your question, and if possible share the question in symbolic form, not in words.
Do you mean Question #5? By (2) x cube, do you mean 2x^3?
I strongly suggest that you use lots of parentheses ( ) to show how your numbers are grouped, and not to use " x " to denote multiplication (use " * " for that, please.
If only you'll clear this up, I'd be happy to help.
I will assume that your post is 2x^3 - 3(9x-5)^2.
Then 2x^3 - 3(81x - 90x + 25). Does this have any resemblance to what you wanted me to see in your post?
The common ratio looks like -2 (-11 * -2 =22) and the missing terms are -44 and 352. (22*-2=-44, -176*-2=352).
Probability that both roads from a to b are blocked is the product of the individual probabilities, i.e.
P(~ab)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Similarly
P(~bc)=0.25*0.25=0.0625
Probability that EITHER one or both of ab and bc are blocked is the sum of the probabilities:
P(~ab ∪ ~bc)=0.0625+0.0625=0.125
(recall that one cannot travel from a to c if either ab or bc is blocked.)
Therefore the probability that there exists an open route from a to c
= P(ac) = 1-P(~ab ∪ ~bc)
= 1 - 0.125
=0.875
