Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
If the probability of even is 1/4 that is a quarter. A quarter of 120 is 120/4= 30 times
This does not look easy to factor, so I'd suggest using the quadratic formula:
-1 plus or minus sqrt( 1-4(3)(-5) )
x = -----------------------------------------------
2*3
-1 plus or minus sqrt(61)
= ------------------------------------
6
Thus, there are 2 real, unequal, irrational roots / solutions.
She worked as a carpenter for 12 hours and as a blacksmith for 18 hours.
Assuming you mean she earned $20 as a carpenter and $25 as a blacksmith per hour, with a total of 30 hours for $690,
let c represent carpenter hours and b for blacksmith hours.
20c + 25b = 690
c + b = 30
Subtract b from each side so that c = 30 - b
Plug this value into the first equation
20(30 - b) + 25b = 690
600 - 20b + 25b = 690
600 + 5b = 690
5b = 90
b = 18
To find c, plug this value of b into the other equation
c + 18 = 30
c = 12
We have (30/100)x200 = 6000/100 = $60;
