Let

x--------> volume of 50​% fertilizer

y--------> volume of 30% fertilizer

we know that

x+y=160-----> x=160-y-----> equation 1

x*0.5+y*0.3=160*0.4-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2

[160-y]*0.5+0.3*y=63.8----> 77-0.35*y+0.25*y=63.8

0.10*y=13.2------> y=13.2/0.10----> y=132 gal

x=220-y----> x=220-132----> x=88 gal

the answer is

88 gal of 50​% fertilizer

132 gal 30​% fertilizer

A box has 11 marbles, 3 of which are white and 8 of which are red. A sample of 4 marbles are selected randomly from the box with
aliina [53]

14/99

Select 1 marble; the chance that it is white is 4/12. Select a 2nd marble; the chance that it is white is 3/11. Select a 3rd; the chance it is white is 2/10. Select a 4th; the chance it is red is 8/9. Select a 5th; the chance it is red is 7/8. The chance of getting this specific set of 5 marbles in this order is (4/12)×(3/11)×(2/10)×(8/9)×(7/8)=(2×7)/(11×10×9).

This specific set could occur in the permutation of 5 things taken 5 at a time where 3 are identical (white), and the other 2 are also identical (red). The formula for this is 5!/(3!2!)=10.

Combining the chance of getting white, white, white, red, red with the number of ways 3 white and 2 red could have been distributed in the draw of 5 marbles gives the answer:

{(2×7)/(11×10×9)}×10=14/99

A similar process will show that the chance of getting 5 red marbles is 7/99; 4 white and 1 red is 1/99; 2 white and 3 red is 42/99; and 1 white and 4 red is 35/99.

How to draw a line that passrs through the origion and has a slope of 2/3?
Tcecarenko [31]
The origin is (0,0)

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2/3
(0,0)...x = 0 and y = 0
now we sub and find b, the y int
0 = 2/3(0) + b
0 = b

so ur equation is y = 2/3x + 0...or just y = 2/3x
