1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

  • According to the question, the right combination of 2 wires cut (out of the 4 wires ) will defuse the bomb. To find all the possible combinations we using the following formulae;

nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!

⁴₂C = 4! / 2! * (4-2)!

⁴₂C = 24 / 2 * 2

⁴₂C = 6

  • There are a possible 6 combinations
  • Therefore for probability of cutting the right combination of 2 wires is 1/6

Jenny bought a 5 notebooks and 2 pencils, and the total was 9 dollars.
weeeeeb [17]
You would solve this with simultaneous equations, so if we write it as:
5n + 2p = 9
3n + 2p = 6
(subtract)
2n = 3
÷ 2
notebooks = 1.5

Now you would substitute it in:
(3 × 1.5) + 2p = 6
4.5 + 2p = 6
- 4.5
2p = 1.5
÷ 2
pens = 0.75

So your final answer is notebooks are $1.50 and pens are $0.75, I hope this helps!

When Vince does 14 push-ups and 12 sit-ups, it takes a total of 52 seconds. In comparison, he needs 48 seconds to do 12 push-ups
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

it takes 2 seconds to do one situp

it takes 2 seconds to do one pushup

to do 14 pushups, it takes 28 seconds.

to do 12 situps it takes 24 seconds

to do 12 pushups, it takes 24 seconds

BRAINLIEST PLEASE!

hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

14x + 12y = 52

12x + 12y = 48

^^^ this is an inequality that we can make.  

x stands for pushups

y stands for situps

if we subtract the second equation from the first, we get

2x = 4

x = 2

now we can place x in one of the equations to solve for y

12(2)+12y=48

24 + 12y = 48

12y = 24

y = 2
