Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first equation is the weights of the rabbit and the ferret together which is

r + f = 7.

The second equation puts the weight of the ferret in terms of the rabbit. If the ferret's weight is 2 pounds more than the rabbit, then

f = r + 2 (the word "is" means equals). Since we know what f is equal to, we will sub it into the first equation and solve for r:

r + (r + 2) = 7 and

2r + 2 = 7 and

2r = 5 so

r = 2.5 pounds.

A rabbit weights 2.5 pounds and the ferret weights 7 - 2.5 which is 4.5 pounds.

The Farm Agency is to use only the letters A, B, and C to make tags. Let y be the number of tags they can make using n spaces. W
UNO [17]

Answer:

y=3^{n}

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three letters A, B, C in order to make the tags and y is the number of tags that can be made using n spaces. So, there are three choices for the first letter A and three choices for the remaining two letters that are B and C respectively.

By the basic counting principle,

Formulae for the number of tags they can make using n spaces is: 3×3×3×3×..........×3( n times)

=3^{n}

Therefore, y=3^{n}

If you have 50 red bead 50 blue beads 50 green beads what I'd the probability that will be blue
makkiz [27]
Add all the beads together and put it over the number of blue beads.
so since there are 150 beads, the denominator is 150. and the amount of blue beads is 50 so that's the numerator.
50/150 now simplify, divide the numerator and denominator by 50 that equals
1/3
so the probability of getting a blue bead is 1/3

A rectangular prism has a volume of 60 cubic feet. if the length and the width double, and the height remains the same, what wil
WITCHER [35]
By definition, the volume of a rectangular prism is given by:
 V1 = (w) * (l) * (h)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 h: height
 Substituting we have:
 60 = (w) * (l) * (h)
 if the length and the width double, and the height remains the same, we have:
 V2 = (2w) * (2l) * (h)
 Rewriting:
 V2 = 4 * ((w) * (l) * (h))
 V2 = 4 * V1
 Substituting we have:
 V2 = 4 * (60)
 V2 = 240 cubic feet
 Answer:
 
the new volume will be:
 
V2 = 240 cubic feet
