Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are two methods for finding the answer.

Method A.

In 1 foot, there are 4 1/4-foot pieces.

In 12 feet, there are 12 times as many as in 1 foot.

12 * 4 = 48

Method B.

Divide 12 ft by 1/4 ft.

12/(1/4) = 12 * 4/1 = 12 * 4 = 48

Andreyy89

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{x=-5,\ y=4\to(-5,\ 4)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+3y=2\\5x-y=-29&\text{multiply both sides by 3}\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2x+3y=2\\15x-3y=-87\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad17x=-85\qquad\text{divide both sides by 17}\\.\qquad\dfrac{17x}{17}=\dfrac{-85}{17}\\.\qquad\boxed{x=-5}\\\\\text{Substitute it to the second equation:}\\\\5(-5)-y=-29\\\\-25-y=-29\qquad\text{add 25 to both sides}\\\\-25+25-y=-29+25\\\\-y=-4\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\\boxed{y=4}$

Suppose that vehicles taking a particular freeway exit can turn right (R), turn left (L), or go straight (S). Consider observing

Basile [38]

Answer:

A={RRR,SSS,LLL}

B={RSL,SLR,LRS,RLS,SRL,LSR}

C={RRL,RLR,LRR,RRS,SRR,RSR}

D={RRL, RRS, RLR, RLL, RSR, RSS, LRR, LRL, LLR, LLS, LSL, LSS, SRR, SRS, SLL, SLS, SSR, SSL}

D'={RRR, RLS, RSL, LRS, LLL, LSR, SRL, SLR, SSS}

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space=S= {RRR, RRL, RRS, RLR, RLL, RLS, RSR, RSL, RSS, LRR, LRL, LRS, LLR, LLL, LLS, LSR, LSL, LSS, SRR, SRL, SRS, SLR, SLL, SLS, SSR, SSL, SSS}

Let A be the event that all three vehicles go in same direction. It means that the all three vehicles go to right or left or straight. Thus, event A can be represented as

A={RRR,SSS,LLL}

Let B be the event that all three vehicles go in different direction. It means that the three vehicles can go to

1. Right, Straight, Left

2. Straight, Left, Right

3. Left, Right, Straight

4. Right, Left, Straight

5. Straight, Right, Left

6. Left, Straight, Right

Thus, event B can be represented as

B={RSL,SLR,LRS,RLS,SRL,LSR}

Let C be the event that exactly two of three vehicles turn right. It means that the three vehicles can go to

1. Right, Right , Left

2. Right , Left, Right

3. Left, Right, Right

4. Right, Right , Straight

5. Straight, Right,Right

6. Right , Straight, Right

Thus, event C can be represented as

C={RRL,RLR,LRR,RRS,SRR,RSR}

Let D be the event that exactly two of three vehicles go in same direction. It means that the three vehicles can go to

1. Right, Right, Left

2. Right, Right, Straight

3. Right, Left, Right

4. Right, Left, Left

5. Right, Straight, Right

6. Right, Straight, Straight

7. Left, Right, Right

8. Left, Right, Left

9. Left, Left, Right

10. Left, Left, Straight

11. Left, Straight, Left

12. Left, Straight, Straight

13. Straight, Right, Right

14. Straight, Right, Straight

15. Straight, Left, Left

16. Straight, Left, Straight

17. Straight, Straight, Right

18.Straight,Straight, Left

Thus, event D can be represented as

D={RRL, RRS, RLR, RLL, RSR, RSS, LRR, LRL, LLR, LLS, LSL, LSS, SRR, SRS, SLL, SLS, SSR, SSL}

D'=S-D= {RRR, RRL, RRS, RLR, RLL, RLS, RSR, RSL, RSS, LRR, LRL, LRS, LLR, LLL, LLS, LSR, LSL, LSS, SRR, SRL, SRS, SLR, SLL, SLS, SSR, SSL, SSS} -{RRL, RRS, RLR, RLL, RSR, RSS, LRR, LRL, LLR, LLS, LSL, LSS, SRR, SRS, SLL, SLS, SSR, SSL}

D'={RRR, RLS, RSL, LRS, LLL, LSR, SRL, SLR, SSS}
