The answer is A. If there are 3 thirds (1/3s) per yard and there are 6 yards, 3*6=18. Because the last cut will make two 1/3-yard segments, the answer is 17 cuts and not 18.
Answer:
-8b + 9 - 5k
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming the blue highlighted portion is your answer, and is not a part of the initial question
(-4b + 15 - 7k) - (6 + 4b - 2k)
Combine like terms
-4b - + 4b
Negative + Positive = Negative
-4b - 4b = -8b
15 - 6 = 9
-7k - - 2k
Negative + Negative = Positive
-7k + 2k = -5k
Put them all together:
0b + 9 - 5k
Simplify
-8b + 9 - 5k
I got the same answer as you (just in a different order)
<span>Instead of thinking about reliability think of failure. 99.999% reliability =0.00001 chance of failure. And 95% reliability =0.05 chance of failure. Assuming failures are independent (they probably are not) the chance of n servers failing is (0.05)n Find n such that (0.05)n=(0.00001) now do it for (0.14)n=(0.00001)</span>
