Answer:

15/29

Explanation:

Olive oil = 5/8

Vinegar = 1/4

Let us find a common multiple that would help us easily make computation

We know that 5/8 = 15/24

and that 1/4 = 6/24

That means the mixture requires olive oil to be 15 parts out of 24

and requires vinegar to be 6 parts out of 24.

This means that the composition of salt, pepper, and sugar would be:

1 - (15/24 + 6/24)

= 1 - (21/24) = 3/24

This means that each is approximately 1 part of the mixture.

Hence if Vinegar is doubled: we have 12 parts of 24, instead of 6 parts of 24

And sugar is omitted, that means Sugar = 0 part of 24 instead of 1 part of 24

Total parts become = 15 + 12 + 1 + 1+ 0 = 29

From this 29 parts, 15 parts are olive, hence the olive proportion becomes:

15 parts of 29 = 15/29

What was the terrorist’s main goal in committing the September 11, 2001, attacks?
Oxana [17]

Letter B is correct.

The attacks took place because Osama Bin Laden (the leader of al-Qaeda), who had naïve beliefs about the United States, wanted to punish America the same way he had been punished in the past when the U.S supported the Israelis destroying the towers in Lebanon and killing their people. <u>The 9/11 terrorist attack was considered a huge success for al-Qaeda because it killed and affected many people and damaged the US economy.</u> Al-Qaeda's target was a good choice since the World Trade Center was the heart of New York and its financial district which kept their markets closed for 4 trading days and provoked record losses.

Anna35 [415]

An undeveloped prefrontal cortex is partially responsible for impulsiveness in young children. The prefrontal cortex, which is a part of the brain located at the front of the frontal lobe, is the "executive" of the brain, because it is a crucial part of the brain, involved in planning, prioritizing, and reflection. If not fully developed these functions are not working properly.

Jacobs &amp; Johnson, an accounting firm, employs 17 accountants, of whom 6 are CPAs. If a delegation of 4 accountants is random
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Probability will be 0.3428

Explanation:

Because probability is the preferred over total, we want the number of delegations with 2 CPA's over the number of total delegations.

We have 9 CPA's and we need to choose 2, thus the number of delegations with 2 CPA's ^9C_2=\frac{9!}{2!7!}=36

To find the total number of delegations, we have 15 accountants and we need to choose 2, thus, ^12C_2=\frac{12!}{2!10!}=105

Thus our probability will be  =\frac{36}{105}=0.3428
