Answer:

This is also known as the Counting rule.

The Fundamental Counting Principle is used in determining all the possible outcomes and the total possible ways different events can be combined with each other. It is usually done by multiplying all the events together to get the total possible outcome. Doing this also helps in determining the sample space of a probability.

For example there are events a, b and c. The total sample space or possible outcome will be a*b*c.

If $1600 earned simple interest of $56.24 in 2 months, what was the simple interest rate? The simple interest rate is % (Do not

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

$\$21.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for principal amount P , time period T and rate of interest $R\%$ , simple interest is given by $S.I. = \frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$ .

Here ,

$P=\$1600\\T=2\,\,months=\frac{2}{12}\,\,years=\frac{1}{6}\,\,years\\S.I=\$56.24$

To find : simple interest rate i.e., $R\%$

On putting values of $P\,,\,T\,,\,S.I$ in formula , we get $S.I. = \frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$

$56.24 = \frac{1600\times R\times 1}{600}\\R=\frac{56.24\times 600 }{1600}=\frac{703\times 3}{100}=\$21.09$

Now we need to round off the answer to the nearest tenth .

So, simple interest rate is % = $\$21.09$ = $\$21.1$

What is 0.16666666...as fraction .show your work

Alecsey [184]

<h3>Answer: 1/6</h3>

Work Shown:

x = 0.1666666...

10x = 1.666666...

100x = 16.666666...

100x - 10x = 16.666666... - 1.666666...

90x = 15

x = 15/90

x = (1*15)/(6*15)

x = 1/6

So, 1/6 = 0.1666666...

A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. a delivery of 6 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a t

Afina-wow [57]

6 large + 5 small = 127 kg ------------ (1)
2 large + 3 small = 51kg ------------ (2)

<u>(2) x 3 :</u>
6 large + 9 small = 153 ---------------- (2a)

<u>(2a) - (1) :</u>
4 small = 26
1 small = 6.5kg ------------ (sub into equation 1)

6 large + 5 small = 127 kg
6 large + 5(6.5) = 127
6 large + 32.5 = 127
6 large = 127 - 32.5
6 large = 94.5
1 large = 15.75 kg

Answer: The small box weighs 6.5kg and the big box weighs 15.75 kg
