Alright! To solve this one you first have to find out what 1cm is equal to in km, to do that you have to divide 18km by 3cm:

[18 ÷ 3] = 6.

Now we know that 1cm is 6km. To find how far apart they are on the map you simply divide 54km by 6km:

[54 ÷ 6] = 9.

They are 9cm apart on the map.

20% of a is 11. What is a?

Reika [66]

Answer:

a=55

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for you to find the whole (a), given a part (11). This can be done through multiplication. 20% is 1/5 of 100%. This means to find the whole number, you should multiply the part by 5. 11*5=55. So, a must equal 55.

We can check this answer by working backward. Do this by finding 20% of 55, and checking to see if it is 11. To find a percentage of a number, multiply that number by the percent in decimal form. So, 20% of 55 is equal to 0.2*55, which is 11. Therefore, the answer is correct.

A company is producing two types of ski goggles. Thirty percent of the production is of type A, and the rest is of type B. Five

exis [7]

Answer:

$\dfrac{14}{29}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>P(A) </em>be the probability that goggle of type A is manufactured

<em>P(B) </em>be the probability that goggle of type B is manufactured

<em>P(E)</em> be the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

According to the question,

<em>P(A)</em> = 30%

<em>P(B)</em> = 70%

<em>P(E/A)</em> is the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase given that it was of type A.

P(E/B) is the probability that a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase given that it was of type B.

$P(A \cap E)$ will be the probability that a goggle is of type A and is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

$P(B \cap E)$ will be the probability that a goggle is of type B and is returned within 10 days of its purchase.

$P(E \cap A) = P(A) \times P(E/A)$

$P(E \cap A) = \dfrac{30}{100} \times \dfrac{5}{100}\\\Rightarrow P(E \cap A) = 1.5 \%$

$P(E \cap B) = P(B) \times P(E/B)$

$P(E \cap B) = \dfrac{70}{100} \times \dfrac{2}{100}\\\Rightarrow P(E \cap B) = 1.4 \%$

$P(E) = 1.5 \% + 1.4 \% \\P(E) = 2.9\%$

If a goggle is returned within 10 days of its purchase, probability that it was of type B:

$P(B/E) = \dfrac{P(E \cap B)}{P(E)}$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1.4 \%}{2.9\%}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{14}{29}$

So, the required probability is $\dfrac{14}{29}.$

Solve the equation 3x-1=x+9

Sever21 [200]

5.

3x - 1 = x + 9

Subtract x on both sides

2x - 1 = 9

Add one on both sides.

2x = 10

Divide by 2 to get the x.

x = 5

Hope this helps!
