Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Of means multiply and is means equals

20% *x = 28

Changing to decimal form

.20 * x = 28

Divide each side by .20

.20x/.20 = 28/.20

x =140

Now we want to find 70% of 140

70% * 140

Changing to decimal form

.70 * 140

=98

Answer: 98

Step-by-step explanation: 20% is 1/5 of the number. 28 x 5 = 140. 70% of 140 is 98.

You roll two fair dice, one green and one red. (a) Are the outcomes on the dice independent? Yes No (b) Find P(1 on green die an

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

1) yes ; 2) 1/36 ; 3) 1/36 ; 4) 1/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Two fair dice : 1 green ; 1 red

A) Are the outcomes on the dice independent:

Yes, becomes the outcome of the green dice does not have any effect on the outcome of the red dice.

B) Find P(1 on green die and 5 on red die).

Probability = (number of required outcome) / (total possible outcomes)

Total outcomes of a dice = 6

P(1 on green) = 1 / 6

P(5 on red) = 1/6

P(1 on green die and 5 on red die) :

(1/ 6) × (1/6) = 1/36

C) Find P(5 on green die and 1 on red die)

P(5 on green) = 1/6

P(1 on red) = 1/6

Find P(5 on green die and 1 on red die):

1/6 × 1/6 = 1/36

D) Find P((1 on green die and 5 on red die) or (5 on green die and 1 on red die))

P(5 on green die and 1 on red die) = 1/36

P(1 on green die and 5 on red die) = 1/36

P((1 on green die and 5 on red die) or (5 on green die and 1 on red die)) =

P(5 on green die and 1 on red die) + P(1 on green die and 5 on red die)

= (1/36 + 1/36) = 2 /36 = 1/18

Three brothers, Andy, Bob, and Curly, take a taxi together home from the

MrRa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

not sure what class this is for but I\ll try. Each traveller has a 21 km drive so their fare should be equal.

method 1) each traveller can pay for 21 km worth when they get out

method 2) Curly can pay the full fare and Andy and Bob can pay him back later (they're brothers so this should be easy to manage)

Help pure people pls

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Option (B). Perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD= 14.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

Coordinates of the vertices are A(3, 5), B(1, 3), C(3, -1), D(5, 3).

Length of AB = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}$

= $\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(5-3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{8}$

= 2.83 units

Length of AD = $\sqrt{(3-5)^2+(5-3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{8}$

= 2.83 units

Length of BC = $\sqrt{(1-3)^2+(3+1)^2}$

= $\sqrt{20}$

= 4.47 units

Length of DC = $\sqrt{(5-3)^2+(3+1)^2}$

= $\sqrt{20}$

= 4.47 units

Perimeter of the quadrilateral = AB + AD + DC + BC

= 2.83 + 2.83 + 4.47 + 4.47

= 14.6 units

Option (B) is the answer.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, -7) and has a<br> slope of 2?

slava [35]

Answer:

y=2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation looks like y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is already given to us, so m is 2.

To find b use the equation $b=y_1-m*x_1$ . So, to find the y-intercept use b=-7-(2*-1). This equals b=-5.

So, plug in the values to get the final equation y=2x-5.

I'm pretty sure the answer is "A matrix separates rational and irrational numbers." (Note: I'm not that great with memorizing definitions, but I'm pretty sure.) Hope this helps :)
