A pair of lowercase letters represents a recessive gene.

For further clarification, if needed... If the punnett square was for dark hair being dominant over blonde hair, the offspring that was represented by two lowercase letters in a punnett square would have a phenotype of blonde hair.

A box of pencils is 5 1/4 inches wide. Seven pencils, laid side by side, take up 2 5/8 inches of the width. How many inches of t

Andre45 [30]

Answer: Width of box is not taken up by pencils = $2\dfrac58\text{ inches}$

Width of each pencil $=\dfrac38\text{ inches}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Width of pencil box = $5\dfrac14\text{ inches}=\dfrac{21}{4}\text{ inches}$

Width of seven pencils = $2\dfrac58\text{ inches}=\dfrac{16+5}{8}\text{ inches}=\dfrac{21}{8}\text{ inches}$

Width of box is not taken up by pencils = Width of pencil box - Width of seven pencils

$\left \{ {{y=2} \atop {x=2}} \right. \dfrac{21}{4}-\dfrac{21}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{21\times2-21}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{21}{8}\text{ inches}=2\dfrac58\text{ inches}$

Width of box is not taken up by pencils = $2\dfrac58\text{ inches}$

Width of each pencil = (Width of seven pencils ) ÷ 7

$=\dfrac{21}{8}\div7\\\\=\dfrac{21}{8}\times\dfrac17\\\\=\dfrac38\text{ inches}$

Width of each pencil $=\dfrac38\text{ inches}$

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

P(Spinner lands on purple section) = 0.6 = 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of sections = 10

Number of purple sections = 6

$\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

a) probability that the spinner will land on purple purple

P(purple) =

$=\dfrac{6}{10} = 0.6$

0.6 is the probability that the spinner will land on purple purple.

b) Interpretation of probability

$0.6\times 100\% = 60\%$

There is a 60% chance that the spinner will land on purple color.

Michelle and matthew bake carrot cake at their bakery. For every 9 cups of shredded carrots they use, they use 6 cups of sugar.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: 21 cups of shredded carrots.

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 9 cups of shredded carrots they use, they use 6 cups of sugar.

To use one cup of sugar therefore, the number of cups of shredded carrot is:

= 9/6

= 1.5 cups of shredded carrot

For every 1.5 cups of shredded carrot, a cup of sugar is used.

If they were to use 14 cups of sugar, they would therefore use:

= 14 * 1.5 cups of carrot

= 21 cups of shredded carrot
