Suppose Alex has 3x stamps, Freddy has 5x stamps. After Freddy gives Alex 10 stamps, Alex has 3x+10 while Freddy has 5x-10
the new ratio is 7 to 9, so we have the equation: (3x+10)/(5x-10)=7/9
9(3x+10)=7(5x-10)
27x+90=35x-70
160=8x
x=20
So Alex has 3*20=60 stamps while Freddy has 5*20=100. Together they have 160

Answer:

160 stamps

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose Alex has 3x stamps, Freddy has 5x stamps. After Freddy gives Alex 10 stamps, Alex has 3x+10 while Freddy has 5x-10

The new ratio is 7 to 9, so we have the equation: (3x+10)/(5x-10)=7/9

9(3x+10)=7(5x-10)

27x+90=35x-70

160=8x

x=20

So Alex has 3*20=60 stamps while Freddy has 5*20=100. Together they have

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

A. 11/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all the numbers together(36), and then see how many out of that number are the vibrant blue shirt. Since they are asking the probability of you being given a vibrant blue shirt, and there are 11 out of the 36 shirts, therefore you have an 11/36 chance that you will be given a vibrant blue shirt.

lord [1]

Answer:

\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{40 laps}}{\text{ hour}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question.

Sebastian swan laps every day in the community swimming pool. He swam 45 minutes each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks. In that time, he swam 1800 laps. What was his average rate in laps per hour?    

Let us convert time taken into hours as:

\text{Days}=5\times 12=60

\text{Minutes}=60\times 45

1 hour = 60 minutes. To convert minutes into hours, we will divide total minutes by 60.

\text{Hours}=\frac{60\times 45}{60}=45

Now, we will divide 1800 by 45 to find average rate in laps per hour as:

\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{1800 laps}}{\text{45 hours}}

\text{Average rate}=\frac{\text{40 laps}}{\text{ hour}}

Therefore, Sebastian's average rate is 40 laps per hour.

A teacher with 10 students has 30 lesson times available. She will teach exactly one of her students during each lesson time. Ho
natka813 [3]

There are \frac{30!}{(3!)^{10} } ways for the teacher to decide which student she will teach during each lesson time if she must teach each student exactly 3 times. Here, "!" represents the factorial.

A number's factorial is the result of multiplying the integer by each natural number below it. Factorial can be symbolized by the letter "!". Thus, n factorial is denoted by n! and is the result of the first n natural numbers.

A whole number's "n" factororial is the sum of that number and each whole number up to one.

When a question asks you to determine how many different ways you can arrange or order a given number of items, you use a factorial.
