Answer: they hiked 2 miles on the first day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance that the group hiked on the first day.

During the second day of the hike, the group hiked twice as far as they did on the first day. This means that the distance that they hiked on the second day is 2x.

On the third day, they hiked twelve miles farther than combined distance of the first two days. This means that the distance that they hiked on the third day is x + 2x + 12

In all, they hiked 24 miles. This means that

x + 2x + x + 2x + 12 = 24

6x + 12 = 24

6x = 24 - 12 = 12

x = 12/6 = 2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The only difference between ultimate Frisbee and basketball is the equipment; instead of using a ball, a disc is used; however, either way it is the same concept. That way, if young athletes play this game in your next practice, they may also develop an interest in ultimate Frisbee and it may be something they explore later on in their athletic careers.

The premise of this game is to pass the ball into the opposing team’s endzone and score the most points. The offensive players are not allowed to dribble the ball or allow the ball to touch the ground, if that does happen it results in a change of possession and turnover. I think this game is a fun way to teach the young athletes how to pass the ball around to their teammates and how to move to open spaces on the court. By playing this game in your practice, you are working on basketball-specific skills, but also teaching young children a sport they may have never heard of or played before; therefore, creating exposure to new activities.

Answer:

{( \frac{ {2x}^{4}  {y}^{4} }{ {4x}^{2} } )}^{3}   \\

open the bracket:

=  \frac{ {2x}^{(4 \times 3)}  {y}^{(4 \times 3)} }{ {4x}^{(2 \times 3)} }   \\

simplify:

=  \frac{ {2x}^{12}  {y}^{12} }{ {4x}^{6} }  \\

group x terms together:

= ( \frac{ {2x}^{12} }{ {4x}^{6} } ) \times  {y}^{12}  \\  \\  =  (\frac{ {x}^{(12 - 6)} }{2} ) \times  {y}^{12}  \\  \\  =  \frac{ {x}^{6} }{2}  \times  {y}^{12}

factorise out power 6:

{ \boxed{= \frac{ {(xy {}^{2}) }^{6} }{2}  }}\\

There are 10 marbles in a bag. 3 are red, 4 are blue, 2 are green, and 1 is yellow. You plan to draw 2 marbles from the bag with
schepotkina [342]
<h2>Probability that the second marble will be blue is 0.44</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 marbles in a bag. 3 are red, 4 are blue, 2 are green, and 1 is yellow.

Total number of marbles = 10

Given that first marble is yellow.

New total number of marbles = 10 - 1 = 9

Now we have 3 are red, 4 are blue, 2 are green.

Number of blue marbles = 4

We need to find drawing probability of blue marble from 9 marbles.

Let the probability be, p

                   p=\frac{\texttt{Total blue marbles}}{\texttt{Total number of marbles}}\\\\p=\frac{4}{9}\\\\p=0.44

Probability that the second marble will be blue is 0.44
