It would be D because 0.0016*250,000= 400 and 250,000-400=249600

Help pleaseee Im trying to get an A in class

likoan [24]

Answer:

191

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry it's sideways. I drew a box chart for this. First, fill in what you know: the number of white and black beads Ally has. Then, calculate how many black beads Betty has (Ally's number, 59, minus 35.) 59-35 = 24.

They tell you the total number of beads is 346. Add up Ally's total to get 131, then subtract that from 346. That's Betty's total beads, 215.

Last, subtract the 24 black beads Betty has from the 215 total to get 191.

Yuto and Lian are at train stations 1,880 kilometers apart. Yuto boards a train heading east at an average speed of 220

Doss [256]

Answer:

1,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that when two train pass each other, Lian has traveled x (km)

=> The time Lian has traveled when two trains pass each other is:

<em>Time = Distance/ Rate = x/ 250 (hour)</em>

As Lian and Yuto travelled from the two opposite train stations and the train stations are 1,880 km apart

=> When two train pass each other, Yuto has traveled 1,880 - x (km)

=> The time Yuto has traveled when two trains pass each other is:

<em>Time = Distance/ Rate = (1,880 - x)/220 (hour)</em>

As Lian and Yuto board at the same time, so that when two trains pass each other, the time both of them have traveled is equal

=> <em>x/ 250 = (1,880 - x)/220</em>

<em>=> 220x = 250 x (1,880 -x) </em>

<em>=> 220x = 470,000 - 250x</em>

<em>=> 470x = 470,000</em>

<em>=> x = 1,000</em>

<em />

<em>So that, </em>when two train pass each other, Lian has traveled x = 1,000 km

Three freshmen, 3 sophomores, 3 juniors, and 3 seniors are participating on the debate team. The team's captain is randomly sele

slega [8]

Answer:

C) $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of freshmen = 3

Number of sophomores =3

Number of juniors =3

Number of seniors = 3

The team's captain is randomly selected from any grade level.

To find the the probability that a freshman will not be selected as captain.

Solution:

Total number of members in the team = $3+3+3+3$ = 12

Probability that a freshman will be selected as captain will be:

⇒ $\frac{Number\ of\ freshmen}{Total\ members}$

⇒ $\frac{3}{12}$

Reducing to simple fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by 3.

⇒ $\frac{3\div3}{12\div 3}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{4}$

Thus, probability that a freshman will not be selected as captain will be given as:

⇒ $1-\frac{1}{4}$

Taking LCD.

⇒ $\frac{4}{4}-\frac{1}{4}$

Subtracting the numerators.

⇒ $\frac{3}{4}$ (Answer)

What is 4 1/5 x 5/14

Bogdan [553]

4 1/5*5/14
