Answer:

Correct option: D -> 14 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The meaning of the constant of variation for a inversely proportion is that the product of one variable by the other one will always be that constant value. That is, if we multiply the time t in minutes by the rate r in gallons per minute, we must find 56 as the result.

So if we want to find the time when the rate is 4 gal/min, we have:

t * r = 56

t * 4 = 56

t = 56 / 4 = 14 minutes

Correct option: D.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

74676.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets try multiplying 127 by 294 ( 127 is a prime number):

127 * 294 = 37338.

37338 / 196 = 190.5

37338 * 2 = 74676  which will now be divisible by 196.

74676 will be divisible by 98, 49 and 7 (because they are factors of  196).

It is also divisible by 84 ( to give 889) and therefore by 42, 28, 21, 14, 12,  6, 4, 3 , 2 and 1 which are all factors of 84.

Ann [662]

Answer:

Example:

A bag contains 3 black balls and 5 white balls. Paul picks a ball at random from the bag and replaces it back in the bag. He mixes the balls in the bag and then picks another ball at random from the bag.

a) Construct a probability tree of the problem.

b) Calculate the probability that Paul picks:

i) two black balls

ii) a black ball in his second draw

Solution:

tree diagram

a) Check that the probabilities in the last column add up to 1.

b) i) To find the probability of getting two black balls, first locate the B branch and then follow the second B branch. Since these are independent events we can multiply the probability of each branch.

ii) There are two outcomes where the second ball can be black.

Either (B, B) or (W, B)

From the probability tree diagram, we get:

P(second ball black)

= P(B, B) or P(W, B)

= P(B, B) + P(W, B)
