Answer:

  • Zack: 11
  • Brian: 19

Step-by-step explanation:

Let z and b represent the number of packs that Zack and Brian bought, respectively. Then the problem statement tells us ...

  b = 2z -3 . . . . . . . Brian bought 3 fewer than twice what Zack bought

  b + z = 30 . . . . . . they bought a total of 30 packs

Using the first equation to substitute into the second, we have ...

  (2z -3) +z = 30

  3z -3 = 30

  3z = 33 . . . . . . add 3

  z = 11

  b = 2·11 -3 = 22 -3 = 19

_____

<em>Check</em>

  b + z = 19 + 11 = 30 . . . . answer checks OK

Zack bought 11 packs; Brian bought 19 packs of gum.

Answer:

A reasonable estimate of the probability is equal to 0.1389   or  13.89\%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The probability of an event is the ratio of the size of the event space to the size of the sample space.  

The size of the sample space is the total number of possible outcomes  

The event space is the number of outcomes in the event you are interested in.  

so  

Let

x------> size of the event space

y-----> size of the sample space  

so

P=\frac{x}{y}

In this problem we have

x=15

y=108

substitute

P=\frac{15}{108}=0.1389

Convert to percentage

0.1389*100=13.89\%

The pyramid below has a rectangular base and E is directly above A
Kay [80]

Answer:

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete Let us assume the base has a length of 15 cm and width of 10 cm.

A pyramid with a rectangular base is a rectangular pyramid.  Its base is rectangular and on each side of the base, it has a triangular face known as lateral face.

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is one third of the product of the length of the base, breadth of the base and height of the pyramid given by:

Volume = (length × breadth × height) / 3

Let us assume the base has a length of 15 cm and width of 10 cm.

Given that the volume = 600 cm³.

Volume = (length × breadth × height) / 3

600 = (15 × 10 × height)/3

1800 = 150 × height  

height = 1800 / 150

height = 12 cm
