Answer:

6 tables.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he has 15 shelves, we can put the overall number of books off to the side for a moment. First calculate how many books he COULD put onto shelves. This would be 7*15, since each of fifteen shelves can hold 7 books. Counting by fifteens or using a calculator allows us to see that the shelves can hold 105 books.

Going back to the original number of books, we subtract 105 from the original value. The equation at this point is 231 - 105. The result is 126 books left to put on top of tables. But we're not done yet!

Since a table can hold 25 books, we need to divide the remaining number of books by 25. That would be 126/25. Doing this gives us 5 tables we would need, plus one book let over. Since we've run out of shelves, we MUST use another table just for the final book. That's 5+1, or 6 tables. Let's not forget to label our answer.

Determine whether the events are independent (I) or dependent (D). Place your answer in the blank provided. 1. Ramiro draws a ma
Stels [109]

Answer:

Independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Ramiro draws a marble from a jar without replacement and then flips a coin

Let E_1 be the event that Ramiro draws a marble without replacement and;

Let E_2 be the event of flipping a coin.

Let's have an analogy so that we can better understand the concept of independent and dependent events.

Consider a random experiment in which a marble is drawn from a jar without replacement and a fair coin is flipped together.

The event E_1  does not in any way affect the event E_2  of a head or a tail showing up in  a flip of a coin.

Therefore, we say that E_1  and E_2   are independent events.

Suppose the event  E_1  affects or influence the event E_2  , then we can say they are dependent events.

You can upgrade lighting at your factory to LED bulbs that cost $6.95 each and last an average of 5 years. It costs S3 in labor
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

11.95 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one LED bulb = 6.95 dollars

Cost of changing one bulb = 3 dollars

Life of each bulb = 5 years.

In 10 years, only one time after 5 years the bulbs would have been changed

Hence cost of 100 lamps = 695 and

cost of changing once = 500

Total cost = 1195 dollars for 11 years

Divide this by 10 years to get average cost per year

Cost of 100 lamps per year = 1195/100 = 11.95 dollars
