Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The stick has a length of 5 units

The stick is broken at two points chosen at random

First break: the probability that you get a piece that is 1 unit or longer than 1 units= 1/5.

Second break, the probability that you get a piece that is 1 unit or longer than 1 units is 1/5.

Therefore,

The total probability =probability of first break * probability of second break * original stick unit

=1/5 * 1/5 * 5

= 1/25 *5

=5/25

=1/5

a. The expression y=5x represent the number of small marbles she has.

b. The expression z=3x+2 represents the number of large marbles she has.

c. Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and  188 large marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let x represent the number of medium marbles Amy has. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of small marbles she has.

Medium marbles = x

Let,

Small marbles = y

According to given statement;

She has five times as many small marbles as medium marbles.

y = 5x        Eqn 1

The expression y=5x represent the number of small marbles she has.

b. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of large marbles she has.

Let,

Large marbles = z

The number of large marbles is two more than three times the number of medium marbles.

z = 3x+2        Eqn 2

The expression z=3x+2 represents the number of large marbles she has.

c. If Amy has a total of 560 marbles, how many of each size does she have?

x+y+z= 560     Eqn 3

Putting value of y and z from Eqn 1 and 2 in Eqn 3

x+(5x)+(3x+2)=560\\x+5x+3x+2=560\\9x=560-2\\9x=558

Dividing both sides by 9

\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{558}{9}\\x=62

Putting x=62 in Eqn 1

y=5(62)\\y=310

Putting x=62 in Eqn 2

z=3(62)+2\\z=186+2\\z=188

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and  188 large marbles.

The ribbon was 3 1/4 inches wide and had an area of 19 1/2 square inches. What is the length of the ribbon? Please Help Will Giv
miv72 [106K]
Hello!

The formula for finding area is l × w

If the area is 19 ½ inches and it was 3 ¼ inches wide, then the length will be 19 ½ ÷ 3 ¼ (Area ÷ Width)

19  \frac{1}{2} \div 3  \frac{1}{4}

Change both to improper fraction

19  \frac{1}{2} =   \frac{39}{2}

3  \frac{1}{4} =  \frac{13}{4}

\frac{39}{2} \div  \frac{13}{4}

Keep 39/2
Change ÷ to ×
Flip 13/4 = 4/13

\frac{39}{2} \times  \frac{4}{13} =  \frac{156}{26} = 6
