Answer:

D) 0.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue Socks = 6

Grey socks = 10

Probabilities to find :

Since there are a total of 16 socks, the probability of both socks being blue is  

Probability(blue) = (\frac{6}{16} ) \frac{5}{15} =\frac{30}{240} =\frac{1}{8}

The probability of both being grey is  

Probability(grey)  =(\frac{10}{16} ) \frac{9}{15} =\frac{90}{240} =\frac{3}{8}

(Note: After 1 sock is picked , next sock drawn would have a different probability as 1 sock is already picked so it would be 1 minus the total socks available of that color)

The probability two socks match:

Probability(blue) + Probability(grey) = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{8}  = \frac{4}{8}  =\frac{1}{2} = 0.500

The length of each leg of an isosceles right triangle is 4 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse
miss Akunina [59]

<u>Answer:</u>

5.65 cm

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that the length of each leg of an isosceles right triangle is 4 cm and we are to find the length of the hypotenuse.

For this, we will use the Pythagoras Theorem:

a ^ 2 = b ^ 2 + c ^ 2

where a is the hypotenuse.

a ^ 2 = 4 ^ 2 + 4 ^ 2

\sqrt { a ^ 2} = \sqrt { 3 2 }

a = 5 . 6 5

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 5.65 cm.

Answer:

A- 16 songs a day

B- 32 songs in the weekend

Step-by-step explanation:

A- if she songs "jingle bells" 5 times, the sings"silver bells" twice as many times, that would just be like multiplying  5 x 2, which equals 10, then add the 5 times she sings jingle bells, that would be 15. then she sings "silent night" one time which adds on to the other songs to get 16 songs a day

B- the weekend has 2 days in it so you would just multiply 16 x 2 which gives you 32

Answer:The 28% rule

The 28% rule states that you should spend 28% or less of your monthly gross income on your mortgage payment (e.g. principal, interest, taxes and insurance). To determine how much you can afford using this rule, multiply your monthly gross income by 28%. For example, if you make $10,000 every month, multiply $10,000 by 0.28 to get $2,800. Using these figures, your monthly mortgage payment should be no more than $2,800.

4.Find three consecutive integers such that the difference of double the largest number and triple the smallest number is -44. F
Taya2010 [7]

Solving a linear equation, we will see that the 3 numbers are:

48, 49, and 50.

<h3>How to find the 3 numbers?</h3>

3 consecutive integers can be written as:

x, x + 1, x + 2

Here we know that 2 times the largest number minus 3 times the smallest one is -44, then:

2*(x + 2) - 3x = -44

We can solve that linear equation for x:

2x + 4 - 3x = -44

(2 - 3)x = -44 - 4

-x = -48

x = 48

Then the 3 numbers are:

  • x = 48
  • x + 1 = 49
  • x + 2 = 50
