The map shows the length (in miles) of shoreline along the Gulf of Mexica for each state that borders the body of water. What is
the probability that a ship coming ashore at a random point in the Gulf of Mexico lands in the given state? Round your answers to the nearest whole percent.
1 answer:
Answer:
TX: 0.23
LA: 0.24
MS: 0.03
AL: 0.03
FL: 0.47
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, the map is shown.
Total length of the shoreline: 367 + 397 + 44 + 53 + 770 = 1631 miles
probability of the ship landing in Texas: 367/1631 = 0.23
probability of the ship landing in Louisiana: 397/1631 = 0.24
probability of the ship landing in Mississippi: 44/1631 = 0.03
probability of the ship landing in Alabama: 53/1631 = 0.03
probability of the ship landing in Florida: 770/1631 = 0.47

Convert liters to milliliters so that you have one unit for all of the amounts in the question.
1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters, so multiply the 1.5 liters you have by 1000:
Since you drank 295 milliliters, and your friend drank 135 milliliters, you will subtract those values from the amount in the bottle:
There is 1070 milliliters of water left in the bottle.
If you want to find the amount remaining in the bottle in liters, divide the amount remaining by 1000 to convert milliliters to liters:
Converted back into liters, there is 1.07 liters of water left in the bottle.
