Answer:

There are 15 mechanical pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the probability of drawn a mechanical pencil from a larger group is given by the quotient of the number of mechanical pencils divided the total number of pencils in the sample.

so that means:

P=\frac{x}{25} \\

being x the number of mechanical pencils and 25 the total of all pencils in the sample. Since they give as P as 3/5, we can solve for the number of mechanical pencils (x) using the equation:

P=\frac{x}{25} \\\\\frac{3}{5} =\frac{x}{25}\\x=\frac{3\,*\,25}{5} \\x=15

So there are 15 mechanical pencils in the sample.

5) So for parallelogram ABCD, ∠B ≅ ∠D, and ∠A ≅ ∠C. Further, ∠B and ∠A are supplementary (i.e., their sum is 180°), and ∠D and ∠C are also supplementary.
So, we have that m∠B = m∠D. Therefore, 
6x-42=3x+15\\3x=57\\x=19

Now, let's substitute for x back into the expression for either ∠B or ∠D to find it's angle measure.
m∠B = 6(19)-42=72
Now, remember that ∠B or ∠D are supplements of ∠A. 
So, m∠B + m∠A = 180°.
That means m∠A = 180° – 72° = 108°.
That seems reasonable, because A appears to be an obtuse angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of TV = $252, Savings= $87. So, she will require, $252-$87 = $165 to buy TV.

Also, it's given that, she gets paid $11 per hour.

Therefore, she will require 165/11 hours = 15 hours to buy new Tv at the wage rate of $11/ hour.

Step2247 [10]

I hope this helps

Answer:

32.75

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 131 by 4 (131/4), then you should get the answer 32.75, so if you need to round it, round it to 31, and if you do not need to round it, then it will be 32.75
