Answer:

a. Maximum 3 baskets

b. Number of oranges = 6

c. Number of bananas = 4

d. Number of pears = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter has 18 oranges, 27 pears and 12 bananas.

He wants to prepare the fruit baskets with the same number of each fruit in each basket.

a). Greatest number of fruit baskets can be prepared by calculating highest common factor.

Factors of 18 = 2×3×3

Factors of 27 = 3×3×3

Factors of 12 = 2×2×3

Now highest common factor of 18, 12 and 27 = 3

Therefore, maximum 3 baskets can be prepared.

b. Number of oranges in each basket = \frac{18}{3}=6

c. Number of bananas in each basket = \frac{12}{3}=4

d. Pears in each basket = \frac{27}{3}=9

What is a correct congruence statement for the triangles shown? Enter your answer in the box. ​ △QDJ≅△ ​ A triangle Q D J. The b
almond37 [142]

Answer: The correct congruence statement is \triangle QDJ\cong \triangle MCW.

Explanation:

It is given that A triangle Q D J. The base D J is horizontal and side Q D is vertical. Another triangle M C W is made. The base C W and side M C are neither horizontal nor vertical. Triangle M C W is to the right of triangle Q D J.

The sides Q D and M C are labeled with a single tick mark. The sides D J and C W are labeled with a double tick mark. The sides Q J and M W are labeled with a triple tick mark.

Draw two triangles according to the given information.

From the figure it is noticed that

QD\cong MC

DJ\cong CW

QJ\cong MW

So by SSS rule of congruence we can say that \triangle QDJ\cong \triangle MCW.

In the game of​ roulette, a player can place a ​$8 bet on the number 17 and have a StartFraction 1 Over 38 EndFraction probabili
svp [43]

Answer:

Expected value of the game: -$0.421

Expected loss in 1000 games: $421

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two possible outcomes for the event:

- There is a 1 in 38 chance of winning $280

- There is a 37 in 38 chance of losing $8

The expected value for a single game is:

E(X) = \frac{1}{38}*\$280-\frac{37}{38}*\$8\\E(X)=-\$0.421

The expected value of the game is -$0.421

In 1,000 plays, the expected loss is:

L = 1,000*-\$0.421\\L=-\$421

You would expect to lose $421.
