Answer:

The probability is 9/266

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to do here is get the total number of marbles = 5 + 7 + 9 = 21 marbles

Now we are drawing the marbles without replacement, this means once a marble is drawn there is a decrease in the total number of marbles left.

The probability of drawing a green marble initially = number of green marbles/ total

number of marbles = 9/21 = 3/7

Now, we want to draw a blue marble

There are 5 blue marbles and we have already drawn one marble from the total. So the probability of drawing a blue marble would be 5/20 = 1/4

And lastly, another green marble

That would make 6 green marbles left and a total of just 19 left. So the probability at this point for green marbles = 6/19

Having and in probability means we multiply all

So this means the probability we are calculating is; 3/7 * 1/4 * 6/19 = 18/(28 * 19) = 9/(14 * 19) = 9/266

Tom and Becky can paint Jim's fence together in 12 hours. If all people paint at the same rate, how many hours would it take to
Delvig [45]

Answer: 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time taken by each person to paint the fence.

Given: Tom and Becky can paint Jim's fence together in 12 hours.

Since all people paint at the same rate, then we have the following equation ;-

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{1}{12}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{2}{x}=\dfrac{1}{12}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=24

Thus, the time taken by each person to paint the fence alone = 24 hours

Now, the time taken by all three paint together:-

\dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{1}{24}+\dfrac{1}{24}+\dfrac{1}{24}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{1}{t}=\dfrac{3}{24}\\\\\Rightarrow\ t=\dfrac{24}{3}=8\text{ hours}

Hence, it would take 8 hours if all three paint together.

Graph the solution to this system of inequalities in the coordinate plane.
Vsevolod [243]

By using Geogebra online graphing calculator, the solution to this system of inequalities are plotted in the image attached below.

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality is a mathematical relation that compares two (2) or more integers and variables in an equation based on any of the following:

  • Less than (<).
  • Greater than (>).
  • Less than or equal to (≤).
  • Greater than or equal to (≥).

Given the following system of inequalities:

3y > 2x + 12  ⇒ 3y - 2x > 12

2x + y ≤ -5

By using Geogebra online graphing calculator, the solution to this system of inequalities are plotted in the image attached below.

Draw and write to explain how these two problems are different 35-15=. And 43-26=.
Rashid [163]
35-15 is 20. and 43-26 is 17. These two are different because you are regrouping in the 2d problem, as in the first, you just subtract.
