4 0

Answer:

1/12 miles/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

To figure out how fast ellie runs in 1 minute, we can set up this equation:

5/6 = 10x (x being the speed per minute)

We can divide both sides by 10

5/60 = x

Then simplify the fraction to get:

1/12 = x

Scott and Letitia are brother and sister. After dinner, they have to do the dishes, with one washing and the other drying. They

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The probability that Scott will wash is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the events be: P = Purple and G = Green

$P = 2$

$G = 3$

Required

The probability of Scott washing the dishes

If Scott washes the dishes, then it means he picks two spoons of the same color handle.

So, we have to calculate the probability of picking the same handle. i.e.

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

This gives:

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = P(G_1) * P(G_2)$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{n(G)}{Total} * \frac{n(G)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{3-1}{5- 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{2}{4}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{10}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = P(P_1) * P(P_2)$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{n(P)}{Total} * \frac{n(P)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{2-1}{5- 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{1}{4}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{1}{10}$

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

So, we have:

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

$P(Same) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{3+1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{4}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{2}{5}$

Madison reads 24 pages of her book each day. She has read for 9 days & is exactly halfway through reading her book. What is

joja [24]

Answer:

432 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know Madison reads 24pgs/ per day. She reads for nine days, so she reads 24*9 pages, or 216.

We know also that this is halfway through her book, so 2*216= the whole book, so the book has 432 pages

Please answer correctly !!!!!!! Will mark Brianliest !!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

$x=-2\\x=2$

(You only need to give one solution)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following equation

$(x^2+1)^2-5x^2-5=0$

First, we need to foil out the parenthesis

$x^4+2x^2+1-5x^2-5=0$

Now we can combine the like terms

$x^4-3x^2-4=0$

Now, we need to factor this equation.

To factor this, we need to find a set of numbers that add together to get -3 and multiply to give us -4.

The pair of numbers that would do this would be 1 and -4.

This means that our factored form would be

$(x^2-4)(x^2+1)=0$

As the first binomial is a difference of squares, it can be factored futher into

$(x^2+1)(x+2)(x-2)=0$

Now, we can get our solutions.

The first binomial will produce two complex (Not real) solutions.

$x+2=0\\\\x=-2$

$x-2=0\\\\x=2$

So our solutions to this equation are

$x=-2\\x=2$
