Hi!

(l = Lenny
m = Max)

Lenny is 3 times as old as Max.
3m = l

When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24.
L - m = 24

Put in the value of l.
3m - m = 24
There is our equation.

Now solve

2m = 24
2m/2 = 24/2
m = 12

3 * 12 = l
36 = l

The equation is 3m - m = 24
Max is 12 and Lenny is 36.

Hope this helps! :)

3x - x = 24  2x = 24 ÷ 2.   ÷2 (Cancels out) 24 ÷ 2 = 12  Max is 12 years old, Lenny is 36 years old.  ( (12) x 3 = y = 36 )

Answer:

Options 2 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line MK is the perpendicular bisector of line LN, because it cuts through its midpoint.

Line ML is equal to line MN because it is a kite, and a kite has two adjacent sides equal.

Answer:

260cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Base = 20cm

Height = 13cm

Area of a parallelogram = Base * Height

                                        = 20 * 13

                                        = 260cm^2

student randomly receive 1 of 4 versions(A, B, C, D) of a math test. What is the probability that at least 3 of the 5 student te
alexdok [17]

Answer:

1.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the students receive different versions of the math namely A, B, C and D.

So, the probability that a student receives version A = \frac{1}{4}.

Thus, the probability that the student does not receive version A = 1-\frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}.

So, the possibilities that at-least 3 out of 5 students receive version A are,

1) 3 receives version A and 2 does not receive version A

2) 4 receives version A and 1 does not receive version A

3) All 5 students receive version A

Then the probability that at-least 3 out of 5 students receive version A is given by,

\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{4}

= (\frac{1}{4})^3\times (\frac{3}{4})^2+(\frac{1}{4})^4\times (\frac{3}{4})+(\frac{1}{4})^5

= (\frac{1}{4})^3\times (\frac{3}{4})[\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+(\frac{1}{4})^2]

= (\frac{3}{4^4})[1+\frac{1}{16}]

= (\frac{3}{256})[\frac{17}{16}]

= 0.01171875 × 1.0625

= 0.01245

Thus, the probability that at least 3 out of 5 students receive version A is 0.0124

So, in percent the probability is 0.0124 × 100 = 1.24%

To the nearest tenth, the required probability is 1.2%.
