Answer:

7.5 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The Thomas family went for a Sunday drive.

Before they left, Mr. Thomas noticed the gas tank was ¾ full.

When they returned home the gas tank was ⅓ full.

Total capacity of the gas tank = 18 gallons

<u>Question asked:</u>

How many gallons of gas did the car use on the drive?

<u>Solu</u>tion:

Before they left, quantity of gas in the tank = \frac{3}{4} \times18=\frac{54}{4} =13.5\ gallons

When they returned, quantity of gas in the tank = \frac{1}{3} \times18=\frac{18}{3} =6\ gallons

Quantity of gas used on the drive = 13.5 - 6 = 7.5 gallons

Therefore, 7.5 gallons of gas used on the drive by Thomas family.

Write the word sentence as an equation. Then solve the equation. A number multiplied by 2/3 is 3/20.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Equation = X*(2/3) = 3/20

Solve for X = 0.23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number be "X"

According to the question,

X*(2/3) = 3/20..........(i)

From equation (i), we can get,

X = (3/20)/(2/3)

or, X = 0.15/0.66

or, X = 0.23

Alternative way,

Let, the number be "X"

According to the question,

X*(2/3) = 3/20..........(i)

From equation (i), we can get,

X = (3/20)/(2/3)

or, X = (3/20)*(3/2)

or, X = 9/40

or, X = 0.23

A spyware is trying to break into a system by guessing its password. It does not give up until it tries 1 million different pass
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Probability = 0.006033

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Tries = 1000000

Required

Determine the probability of 6 different lower case letters <em>(Question continuation)</em>

<em />

There are 26 lower case letters.

The first can be any of letters 26

The second can be any of letters 26 - 1

The third can be any of letters 26 - 2

The fourth can be any of letters 26 - 3

The fifth can be any of letters 26 - 4

The sixth can be any of letters 26 - 5

Number of selection is:

Selection = 26 * (26 - 1) * (26 - 2) * (26 - 3) * (26 - 4) * (26 - 5)

Selection = 26 * 25 * 24 * 23 * 22 * 21

Selection = 165765600

The probability is:

Probability = \frac{Tries}{Selection}

Probability = \frac{1000000}{165765600}

Probability = 0.00603261472

<em></em>Probability = 0.006033<em> --- approximated</em>
