-|-3p|

-|-3(5)|
= -|-15|
= -(15)
= -15

The value of the expression when p = 5 is -15.

Mr. Hayden's Bible class collected $11

ki77a [65]

This is the only way I can think of this mathematically. This took a good 20 minutes for me. You need to guess and check. Like try 17 quarters, 50 nickels, and 37 dimes etc. until you get 11.00. My numbers are mathematically correct but we both know you cant have 18.909 quarters so. lol

Answer:

Quarters: 18.909

Nickels: 49.818

Dimes: 37.818

Somewhere around those numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

$11.00 total in coins

Nickel = $0.05

Dime = $0.10

Quarter = $0.25

(n*0.05) + (d*0.10) + (q*0.25)

Solve the equation for q.

$q=\frac{1}{2} d$

(n*0.05) + (d*0.10) +( $\frac{1}{2} d$ *0.25)

Simplify the expression.

9d + 2n = 440

d - n = -12

Multiply both sides of the equation by -9.

-9d + 9n = 108

9d + 2n = 440

Sum the equations vertically to eliminate at least one variable.

11n = 548

$n=\frac{548}{11}$

Substitute the given value of n into the equation d - n = -12

$d-\frac{548}{11} =-12$

$d=\frac{416}{11}$

Substitute the given value of n into the equation $q=\frac{1}{2} d$

$q=\frac{1}{2} *\frac{416}{11}$

$q=\frac{208}{11}$

Finally

$d=\frac{416}{11}$ d = 37.818

$n=\frac{548}{11}$ n = 49.818

$q=\frac{208}{11}$ q = 18.909

5. Priya mixes 2..5 cups of water with 1/3 cup or orange juice concentrate. Diego mixes 1 2/3 cups of water with 1/4 cup or oran

Snowcat [4.5K]

Priya needs 13⅓ cups of orange juice

Diego 15 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

......................................................................................................................

Priya

......................................................................................................................

Cup of water = 2½

Cup of orange = ⅓

If 2½ cups of water requires ½ cup of orange juice concentrate

Then 100 cups of water would require x cup of orange

Representing the above statement mathematically

2½ : ⅓ = 100 : x

5/2 : 1/3 = 100 : x ------------------Convert ratio sign to division

5/2 ÷⅓ = 100/x

5/2 * 3 = 100/x

15/2 = 100/x ---------------Multiply both sides by x

15/2 * x = 100/x * x

15x/2 = 100 ------------------ Multiply both sides by 2

2 * 15x/2 = 2 * 100

15x = 200 --------------- Divide both sides by 15

x = 200/15

x = 13⅓

So, 13⅓ cups of orange is needed by Priya

......................................................................................................................

Diego

......................................................................................................................

Cup of water = 1⅔

Cup of orange = ¼

If 1⅔ cups of water requires ¼ cup of orange juice concentrate

Then 100 cups of water would require x cup of orange

Representing the above statement mathematically

1⅔:¼ = 100:x

5/3 : ¼ = 100:x

5/3 ÷¼ = 100 ÷ x

5/3 * 4/1 = 100 ÷ x

20/3 =100/x----------------------- Multiply x to both sides

20/3 * x = 100/x * x

20x/3 = 100 ------------------------ Multiply 3 to sides by 3

3 * 20x/3 = 100 * 3

20x = 300 ------------- Divide both sides by 2

20x/20 = 300/20

x = 15

So, 15 cups of orange is needed by Diego

Can anyone help ?

Flauer [41]

Answer:

a) 1 / 12

b) 1 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The events are independent since they do not affect each other. The total probability of two independent events is the product of the probabilities of the two events.

a) When rolling a die, there are 6 outcomes, the numbers 1 - 6. There is only 1 outcome where you can get a 2. Therefore, the probability of rolling a two is 1/6.

When flipping a coin, there are two ways it can land: heads or tails. And there is one outcome with heads. The probability of getting head would be 1 / 2.

To find the the total, you multiply the probabilities of the two events: 1 / 6 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 12

b) As stated before, when rolling a die, there are 6 outcomes, the numbers 1 - 6. There are 3 outcomes where she can roll an even number: the numbers 2, 4, or 6. So, the probability of rolling an even number is 3 / 6 or 1 / 2.

When flipping a coin, there are two ways it can land: heads or tails. And there is one outcome with tails. The probability of getting tails would be 1 / 2.

Now, you multiply the two probabilities to get the total probability: 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 4
