To do this, we need to know how much older than her daughter Sharon. She is 30 years older, so we get
d = s - 30
We want to figure out when d = s - 30, and 4d = s, so here's what we do:
Since 4d = s, we can substitute 4d for all occurences of s
d = 4d - 30
And then we can solve for d
-3d=-30
d=10
And then we plug that number into our original equation
10 = s-30
40 = s
Sharon was 40 years old when she was 4 times her daughter's age. Since she is now 42, we know she was 4 times her daughter's age 2 years ago

Si elegimos un día de la semana al azar, ¿qué probabilidad hay de que sea fin de semana (ya sabemos que hay dos días…)?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

La probabilidad que hay de que sea fin de semana es \frac{2}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

La Probabilidad es la mayor o menor posibilidad de que ocurra un determinado suceso. En otras palabras, la probabilidad establece una relación entre el número de sucesos favorables y el número total de sucesos posibles. Entonces, la probabilidad de un suceso cualquiera A se define como el cociente entre el número de casos favorables (número de casos en los que puede ocurrir o no el suceso A) y el número total de casos posibles. Esta se denomina Ley de Laplace.

P(A)=\frac{numero de casos favorables}{numero de casos posibles}

En este caso:

  • número de casos favorables: 2 (cantidad de días del fin de semana)
  • número de casos posibles: 7 (cantidad de días totales en la semana)

Reemplazando:

P(A)= \frac{2}{7}

<u><em>La probabilidad que hay de que sea fin de semana es </em></u>\frac{2}{7}<u><em></em></u>
