Answer:

7 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 3 brothers

First , Second, Third

Let the total number cookies be represented by A

1 cookie = 1

Working backwards, we start from the third brother

If we work backwards

It means he gave everything away

We start from the youngest

He was given 1/2 of what was left and 1/2 a cookie

This means,

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

The second brother

He got half of what is left and 1/2 a cookies

Half of what is left from brother

= What the youngest brother got + 1/2 + 1/2 a cookie

= 1 + 1/2 + 1/2

= 1.5 + 1/2

= 2 cookies

For the first brother

He got 1/2 of the cookies + 1/2 cookie

= 1.5 × 2 + 1/2 + 1/2 cookies

= 3 1/2 + 1/2

= 4 cookies

The first brother got 4 cookies

The second brother got 2 cookies

The third broth got 1 cookies

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation is defined as

$ax^2+bx+c=0$ .... (1)

then the quadratic formula is

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

The given equation is

$10x^2=6+9x$

It can rewritten as

$10x^2-9x-6=0$ .... (2)

On comparing (1) and (2) we get

$a=10,b=-9,c=-6$

Using quadratic formula we get

$x=\dfrac{-(-9)\pm \sqrt{(-9)^2-4(10)(-6)}}{2(10)}$

$x=\dfrac{9\pm \sqrt{81+240}}{20}$

$x=\dfrac{9\pm \sqrt{321}}{20}$

Therefore, the correct option is B.

A bag has 9 marbles: 4 are green, 2 are red, and 3 are blue. Melissa chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back, ch

nika2105 [10]

Answer: pr (blue) = 1/3 or 0.33

Pr(green without replacement) = 1/2 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = number of possible outcomes/ number of total outcomes

Total number of outcomes is the sum of all the marbles, given as 9

Pr ( first marble blue) = no of blue marbles/ total number of marbles

= 3/9 = 1/3 or 0.333

Second marble is chosen without replacement- this means that the total outcome has reduced by 1, total number of marbles has reduced to 8 because there was no replacement.

Pr (second marble is green) = number of green marble/ total number of marbles without replacing the first marble

= 4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5

I hope this helps.
