A box contains 8 yellow, 3 orange and 5 purple candies. A tray contains 7 red, 4 blue and 9 orange drinks. If Asia chooses one c

andy and one drink without looking, what is the probability that she will get a yellow candy and not an orange drink. Give your answer as a simplified fraction.
(Please help and if you can, show your work so I can learn from it. Thanks so much in advance!)

Okay so we have to first find the total.
8+3+5= 16 candies
7+4+9= 20 drinks
Since she wants to get a yellow candy and any drink but orange, put that information as a fraction.
8/16= 50% or 1/2
11/20= 55% (By the way you get 11 because of the 7 red and 4 blue).
And that's your answer!
Hope this helped and good luck! ^=^

a street light is at the top of a 18 ft tall pole. a woman 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/sec along a s
shutvik [7]

The most appropriate choice for similarity of triangles will be given by -

Speed of tip of the shadow of woman  = 6 ft/s

What are similar triangles?

Two triangles are said to be similar, if the corrosponding angles of the triangles are same and the corrosponding sides of the triangles are in the same ratio.

Here,

The diagram has been attached here

Let the distance of woman from the pole be x ft and the distance of tip of the shadow to the pole be y ft.

Height of street light = 18 ft

Height of woman = 6ft

The two triangles are similar [As height of woman is parallel to the height of pole]

\frac{y - x}{6}=\frac{y}{18}\\18y - 18x = 6y\\18y - 6y = 18x\\12y = 18x\\y = \frac{18}{12}x\\y = \frac{3}{2}x\\

To find the speed, we have to differentiate both sides with respect to time 't'

\frac{dy}{dt} =\frac{3}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}\\\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3}{2} \times 4\\\frac{dy}{dt} = 6

Speed of tip of her shadow = 6 ft

What are the solutions to the equation -5x2 + 3x = -9
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: Move terms to the left side−52+3=−9−5x2+3x=−9−52+3−(−9)=0−


Common factor−52+3+9=0−5x2+3x+9=0−(52−3−9)=0


Divide both sides by the same factor−(52−3−9)=0−(5x2−3x−9)=052−3−9=0


Solution=3±321 over 10
