Answer:

$Charlie = 5 + x$

$Danny = x - 8$

$Eric = 3x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Billy's Marble = x

Required

Determine a,b and c

a. Charlie's Marble

"5 more" means 5 + or + 5

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Charlie's Marbles will be

$Charlie = 5 + x$

b. Danny's Marbles

Having "8 fewer" means we have to subtract 8 from Billy's marble;

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Danny's Marbles will be

$Danny = x - 8$

c. Eric Marbles

Having "three times as " means we have to multiply Bill's marble by 3;

Since Billy's Marble is represented with x, then Danny's Marbles will be

$Eric = 3 * x$

$Eric = 3x$

Given :

A recipe for whole grain bread calls for 1 oz of rye flour for every 3 oz of whole wheat flour.

To Find :

How many ounces of each kind of flour should be used to make a loaf of

bread weighing 22 oz.

Solution :

It is given that ratio of rye and whole wheat flour is 1 : 3.

Let, amount of rye flour is x and amount of whole wheat flour is 3x.

So, x + 3x = 22

4x = 22

x = 5.5 oz

3x = 16.5 oz

Therefore, amount of rye flour and whole wheat flour is 5.5 and 16.5 oz respectively.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Jesse is playing a game with a number cube with faces numbered 1 through 6. What is the probability of rolling a number that is

lana [24]

Answer:

The probability of rolling a number that is even and a multiple of 3 is $\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The total possible outcomes of cube = { 1, 2, 3 , 4 , 5 , 6}

Now, let E: Event of getting an even number and a multiple of 3

So, out of all the outcomes, {6) is the ONLY possible favorable outcome.

$\textrm{P(E)} =\frac{\textrm{Number of favorable outcomes }}{\textrm{Total number of outcomes}}$

or, $P(E) = \frac{1}{6}$

Hence, the probability of rolling a number that is even and a multiple of 3 is $\frac{1}{6}$
