From a standard deck of 52 cards, what is the probability of picking a 5 of diamonds at random from the deck?

At an animal shelter, there are 15 dogs and 12 cats.

Bond [772]

Answer:

Dogs: 44.44 Cats: 55.556

Step-by-step explanation:

*this is only if you are allowed to use a calculator*

1. You have to add the total of the cats and dogs

Why? Here, let me put it this way. You have a test with two sections: math and science. If there are 2 Maths Questions and 2 Science questions, what percent of the test are math questions? You would not say 2/2 and say 100. You would say 2/4 because it is obvious. You do the same in this case but it is not as noticeable because you are dealing with bigger numbers.

15 + 12 = 27.

2. Solve

a. There are 15 dogs and 12 cats that makes up 27 pets total.

So you have to do 12/27 for cats,

15/27 for dogs. The fractions equal one and It shows you how much of one is there compared to the total.

b. Simplify

You can simplify these fractions:

for 12/27, divide the numerator and the denominator by 3.

You get 4/9

Divide 15/27 for dogs by 3 as well to get 5/9.

5+4 is 9, which means that I am doing the math correctly.

According to the calculator, 5/9 is 55.556, and 4/9 is 44.444

They should be accurate because there are more dogs than cats and the percentage for dogs are higher. Hence, this is correct.

Cats = 4/9 = 44.444%

Dogs = 5/9 = 55.556%

Hope this helps :)

Marine fuel is a combination of gasoline and motor oil. The standard gasoline and oil mixture is about 98% gasoline and about 2%

Georgia [21]

Answer:

0.98g+ 0.02m= 7.1224 gallons standard mixture

0.96g+ 0.04m= 6.25 gallons break oil

3.92 gallons of gasoline is required for 4 gallons the standard mixture

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have to use 6 gallons of gasoline this means that 98%= 6 gallons and 2% would be 6/98*2

Gasoline: Motor oil

6 : x

98 : 2

Using the product rule

x= 6*2/98= 0.1224 gallons of motor oil is required.

Let the gasoline be represented by g and motor oil by m then for the standard oil the equation would be

0.98g+ 0.02m= 7.1224 gallons standard mixture

For break in oil

Gasoline: Motor oil

6 : x

96 : 4

Using the product rule

x= 6*4/96= 0.25 gallons of motor oil is required.

Let the gasoline be represented by g and motor oil by m then for the break oil the equation would be

0.96g+ 0.04m= 6.25 gallons break oil

Part b. For 4 gallons of the "break in" mixture

96% of the 4 gallons of the "break in" mixture is gasoline = 3.84 gallons of gasoline

4% of 4 = 0.16 gallons of motor oil

Now the standard mixture 4 gallons would contain 98 % of gasoline and 2 % of motor oil

98% of 4 gallons= 3.92 gallons of gasoline

2% of 4 gallons= 0.08 gallons of motor oil.

PLEASE SOLVE AND CHECK. SHOW COMPLETE SOLUTION

Alex17521 [72]

Solution:

$\sqrt{4x + 13} = x + 2$

First square both sides.

$= > ( \sqrt{4x + 13} ) ^{2} = (x + 2) ^{2}$

Now, square root and square gets cancel out in the LHS. And in the RHS, apply the identity: (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b².

$= > 4x + 13 = {(x)}^{2} + 2 \times x \times 2 + (2) ^{2} \\ = > 4x + 13 = {x}^{2} + 4x + 4$

Now, transpose 4x and 4 to LHS.

$= > 4x - 4x + 13 - 4 = {x}^{2} \\$

Now, do the addition and subtraction.

$= > {x}^{2} = 9 \\ = > x = \sqrt{9} \\ = > x = ±3$

Answer:

x = ± 3

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.
