Solution
-3b + 11 = -18 + 8b
-3b - 8b = -18 - 11
-11b = -29
b = 29/11

To get the 0.12 to repeat, the trick is to subtract 1 from the denominator

Then reduce the fraction.

now add the 3 to get
14×12=168
24×7=168
168÷60=2 hours and 48 minutes
2 hours and 48 minutes+ 8:00AM=10:48AM
Answer: 10:48AM
12 to 16 because all ratios are equivalent
1.
Chance of finding a bug = 0.35
Chance of not finding a bug = 1 - 0.35 = 0.65
Probability of finding a bug in the first 3 programs =
Probability of not finding a bug in 2 out of the 3 and finding a bug in 1.:
0.65^2 * 0.35 = 0.147 = 0.15
Answer is A.
2.
Probability of heads = 0.50
Probability of tails = 0.50
Probability of heads on the fourth attempt = tails x tails x tails x heads = 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.0625
The answer is B.
