Answer:

Jon did determine the probability correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>In Jon's closet, there are a total of 24 clothes. Among those pieces of clothing, there are a total of 9 out of 24 clothes that are black. There are also 11 shirts out of 24 clothes. </em>

<em />

<em>When a probability has OR in it, it means to add.</em>

<em />

<em>11/24 plus 9/24 gives you 20/24.</em>

<em />

<em>Therefore, Jon is correct.</em>

<em />

Wyatt offers 8 types of sandwiches and 4 types of tacos. He will increase his selection of sandwiches by 1 per month. He will in
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

In 4 months Wyatt offer an equal number of sandwiches and tacos.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Types of sandwiches = 8

Rate of increase of sandwich = 1 per month

Thus, number of sandwiches in x months will be given by

n_1(x) = 8 + x

Types of tacos = 4

Rate of increase of tacos sandwich = 2 per month

Thus, number of tacos in x months will be given by

n_2(x) = 4 + 2x

Equating the two equations, we get,

n_1(x) = n_2(x)\\8 + x = 4 + 2x\\\Rightarrow x = 4

Thus, in 4 months Wyatt offer an equal number of sandwiches and tacos.

Find the sum of the first 12 terms of the geometric sequence - 2,6,-18,54,-162....​
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Sure, the common difference is -3, but like you have to multiple it and stuff, so it goes like this: -2,6,-18,54,-162,486,-1458,4374,-13122,39366,-118,098,354294.

So then, add all of the 12 terms I stated, and that will equal to 265,720

Therefore, the sum of the first 12 terms of that geometric sequence is 265,720.

Answer the question below
Kobotan [32]

Answer:There are 96 apples in the 12th bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you add the number of apples in the 11 bags.

6+28+16+27+10=87

If the mean number of apples in the 12 bags were 8, the total number of apples are 96.  

Using this info, we subtract 87 from 96 to 9.

Hence, there are 9 apples in the 12th bag.
