Answer:

The numbers of test tubes are 150 and beakers are 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to  find numbers of beaker ans test tubes in chemistry lab

Given statement is "Five times the number of test tubes in a school’s chemistry lab exceeds three times the number of beakers it has by 660. The sum of two times the number of test tubes and five times the number of beakers is 450"

Let the number of beakers be b

and Let the number of test tubes be t

According to question

5t-3b=660           ......(1)

2t+5b=450          ......(2)

solve linear equation by substitution method,

isolate the b in equation (1)

5t-3b=660

subtract both the sides by 5t,

-3b=660-5t

divide both the sides  by -3,

tex]b=\frac{5t-660}{3}[/tex]

substitute the value of b in equation (2)

2t+5(\frac{5t-660}{3})=450

2t+(\frac{25t-3300}{3})=450

multiply both the sides by 3,

6t+25t-3300=1350

31t-3300=1350

Add  both the sides by 3300,

31t=1350+3300

31t=4650

divide both the sides by 31,

t=150

the numbers of test tubes are 150.

Put the value of t in equation (1)

5t-3b=660

5(150)-3b=660

750-3b=660

subtract both the sides by 750,

-3b=660-750

-3b=-90

divide both the sides by -3,

b=30

the numbers of beakers are 30.

Therefore, the numbers of test tubes are 150 and beakers are 30.

All the given quadrilaterals in the picture on the right are squares and #1 ≅ #3, #2 ≅ # 4. find the area of the shaded region,
Anika [276]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a square of side l, its diagonal would be l\sqrt{2}, and its area l^2

If the big square has a area of 900, this implies that its side is \sqrt{900}, so the two diagonal of squares 2 and 4 added together would be \sqrt{900}, therefore one diagonal wold be \frac{\sqrt{900}}{2}. and its side \frac{\sqrt{900}}{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}. The area (of one square) is (\frac{\sqrt{900}}{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2=\frac{225}{2}

finally the two areas combined (squares 2 and 4) would be 225

A certain university has 18 vehicles available for use by faculty and staff. Five of these are vans and 13 are cars. On a partic
Reil [10]

Answer:

a

 P(E) = 0.278

b

  P(F |E) = 0.2353

c

P(E and  F) = 0.0654

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of vehicles available is N  =  18

The number of vans is k = 5

The number of cars is n = 13

Generally P(E) is mathematically represented as

P(E) =  \frac{k}{N}

=>    P(E) =  \frac{5}{18}

=>    P(E) = 0.278

Generally P(F| E)  means the probability that the second vehicle assigned is  a van given that the first one selected is a van this mathematically calculated as

      P(F |E) =  \frac{5 -1}{18-1}

        P(F |E) =  \frac{4}{17}

        P(F |E) = 0.2353

Generally  P(F | E) is also mathematically represented as

      P(F | E) = \frac{P(E and F)}{P(E)}

=>   P(E and  F) =P(E) * P(F | E)

=>   P(E and  F) = 0.278  * 0.2353

=>P(E and  F) = 0.0654
