ng a black piece of clothing OR a shirt from his closet. He solves the probability this way: P(black piece of clothing or a shirt) = P(black piece of clothing) + P(shirt) = 9/24+11/24=20/24=56 Did he solve it correctly?please explain

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>

=) The perimeter of a rectangular field is 336 m.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Length of the field: 94 m

Width of the painting: 61 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the perimeter formula, P = 2l + 2w, to find the length:

Plug in the perimeter and width into the equation:

P = 2l + 2w

336 = 2l + 2(74)

336 = 2l + 148

188 = 2l

94 = l

So, the length of the field is 94 m.

To find the width of the painting, use the area formula, A = lw

Plug in the area and length into the equation:

A = lw

5795 = 95w

61 = w

So, the width of the painting is 61 cm.

Length of the field: 94 m

Width of the painting: 61 cm

a triangular flower bed needs a thin metal border all the way around it. The sides are 7 feet, 6 feet, and 9 feet long.
kotegsom [21]
Excuse my awful triangle drawing skills, haha..
So essentially you need to find the perimeter which is done by adding the lengths of the sides.. this gives you 22ft.
Then for part b you need to convert 22ft to yards which gives you 7.3 yards.
Since you can only buy a whole number of yards, you'll actually need 8 yards.
So if the boarder is $8.75 per yard, and you need 8 yards, how much would it cost?
Hope this was helpful.
