Answer:

To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate volume of the rectangular-shaped sandbox:

V=long*with*height\\V=4feet*4feet*0.5feet\\V=8cubicfoot

We know that density of sand is 100 pounds per cubic foot. Then, to fill the sand box that has a volume of 8 cubic foot, we calculate by rule 3:

1cubic foot..............100 pounds

8 cubic foot.............x pounds

x=\frac{8*100}{1}

x=800 pounds

We will need 800 pounds of sand to fill the sandbox, then we can calculate by rule 3 the number of bags needed and next the total cost of them:

50 pounds.......1bag

800 pounds.....x bags

x=\frac{800*1}{50} \\x=16

To calculate the cost:

1 bag ..................$3.50

16 bags.................$x

x=16*3.50\\x=$56

To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56

A and B are independent events. P(A) = 0.50 P(B) = 0.30 What is P(A/B)? a. not enough information. b. 0.30 c. 0.50 d. 0.15
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A|B)=P(A and B)/P(B) is the formula to find a conditional probability when A and B are not independent.

A and B are independent. This means B has no effect of A. This means P(A|B)=P(A).

P(A|B)=P(A) since A and B are independent

P(A|B)=0.50

Please answer this these are all the points i got left XD
Kazeer [188]
Answer is choice B

The ratio of the sides (first to the second) is 11/9 since we divide 22/18 and reduce that fraction

Once we know the scale factor is 11/9, we square it to get (11/9)^2 = 121/81 which is the ratio of the first area to the second area
