K+t=36
t is 5 times of k
t=5k

sub5k for t

k+5k=36
6k=36
divide both sides by 6
k=6
sub back
t=5k
t=5(6)
t=30

tail=30ft

Kite = x
Tail = 5x 

5x + x = 36 
6x = 36 
x = 6 

5x = 5*6 = 30 

The kite's tail is 30 ft <-----

An urn contains 4 purple marbles and 3 pink marbles. Two marbles are drawn at random. What is the probability that both marbles

Archy [21]

Answer: 16/49

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of pulling a purple marble is 4/7, since 4+3 is 7.
Since the marbles are replaced, the probability does not change when pulling out marbles.

To combine probabilities, we multiply them

$\frac{4}{7} * \frac{4}{7} = \frac{16}{49}$
