Answer:

P(B)=\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of red marbles in the bag is; n(R)=3.

The number of blue marbles in the bag is; n(B)=4.

The number of white marbles in the bag is; n(W)=5.

The total number of marbles in the bag is: n(S)=3+4+5=12.

The probability of selecting a blue marble is P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}

We substitute the given information to obtain:

P(B)=\frac{4}{12}

We simplify to obtain:

P(B)=\frac{1}{3}

I need help with this problem <br><br><br> -8(2v-2)=-4(7+5v)
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer: I'm not sure if this is right or not but I got U = 4

Step-by-step explanation: -8(2v-2)=-4(7+5u. So first I distributed and got -16v -16 = 28 + 20u. And then I added 16u with 20u I added because you change the sign like if it's a negative you make it a positive so once you do 20u+16v you should get 36 and then on the other side it should be -16+16 which equals -16u from when you distributed so now you should have -16u=28+36 so now you would add 28 the 36 since they both are positives and have no variables which you should get 64 and then on the left you should have 16u. So it looks like -16u=64. And then now you would divide -16u on both sides and the side with the variable put it or v whatever variable you want to use and then do 64 divided by 16 and you should get 4.

The difference between a number divided by 3 and 4 is 20.
Alexxandr [17]
Let, the number be "a"

Now, according to the question,
\frac{a}{3} - 4=20

\frac{a-12}{3} =20

a-12 =20*3

a-12=60

a = 60 + 12

a = 72


So, the number is 72

Scientists studying dolphin echolocation simulate the projection of a bottlenose dolphin's clicking sounds using computer
lina2011 [118]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola with focus at (h, k) and the directrix y = p is given by the following formula:

(y - k)^2 = 4 * f * (x - h)

In this case, the focus is at the origin (0, 0) and the directrix is the line y = -1.3, so the equation representing the cross section of the reflector is:

y^2 = 4 * f * x

  = 4 * (-1.3) * x

  = -5.2x

The depth of the reflector is the distance from the vertex to the directrix. In this case, the vertex is at the origin, so the depth is simply the distance from the origin to the line y = -1.3. Since the directrix is a horizontal line, this distance is simply the absolute value of the y-coordinate of the line, which is 1.3 inches. Therefore, the depth of the reflector is approximately 1.3 inches.

Why does the fraction 20/25 not belong with 1/20, 2/3 and 5/4?
devlian [24]
I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s because 20/25 can still be simplified further, while the other 3 can’t.
