First, convert 2 hours into minutes. You know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. Thus, 2 hours = 120 minutes.

Set a ratio to solve for x, the number of pages Tim can read in 2 hours (120 minutes). The numerator represents the number of pages read, and the denominator represents the amount of time elapsed.

$\frac{x}{48}=\frac{100}{120}$

Use the cross-multiplying method, where you multiply x by 120 and 48 by 100.

$120x = 4800$

To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 120.

The answer is x = 40.

Therefore, Tim can read 40 pages in 48 minutes.

Hope this helps! :)

Inclusion-exclusion formula for 3 events. write aubuc = (aub)uc and use the inclusion-exclusion formula three times to derive th

nadya68 [22]

solution:

We are going to use this property: P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(AB)

First we treat (A U B) as one event as follows:

P( (A U B) U C) = P( A U B ) + P(C) – P((A U B)C)

= P( A U B ) + P(C) – P(AC U BC)

= P(A) + P(B) – P(AB) + P(C) – P(C) – P(AC U BC )

=P(A) + P(B) – P(AB) + P(C) –P(AC) – P(BC) + P(ABC)

= P(A) + P(B) + P(C) – P(AB) – P(AC) – (BC) + P(ABC)

Question 4 (5 points)

klemol [59]

Answer: B (-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

[log base b of a = c] turns into [b^c = a]

You have log base 5 of 1/25 = ?, so it turns into 5^? = 1/25

This part is sort of guess and check, but we can look at it to find the answer pretty easily. First, it's 1/n, so we should use a negative power: 5^-1 = 1/5

In addition to being in the denominator, it's 25, which is 5^2.

So, if we want to put it in a reciprocal as well as square it, we can use -2:

5^(-2) = 1/(5^2) = 1/25

Since -2 (B) is the exponent we place on 5 to get 1/25, it is also the answer to log base 5 of 1/25.

I dont understand how to put questions together.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You are subtracting two functions to get the profit, the formula is p(x)=r(x)-c(x). You know what two of those functions are equivalent to so plug it in to get

p(x)=11x-(6x+20)

to solve you must first get rid of the parentheses by distributing the negative.

p(x)=11x-6x-20

then, combine like terms (both x's)

p(x)=5x-20

That is your final answer.
