Answer:
The probability of hitting a single or a double is 1/5 or 20% or 20/100 or 0.2
Step-by-step explanation:
In probability, whenever we are to answer an ‘or’ question, we add up the probabilities involved.
The probability of hitting a single is 15%, that is same as 15/100 or just simply 0.15
The probability of hitting a double is 5%, that is simply 5/100 or just simply 0.05
The probability of hitting a single or a double = Probability of hitting a single + Probability of hitting a double = 0.15 + 0.05 = 0.20 or 20/100 or 1/5
Using elimination method. Using substitution will cause some fraction problems.
c- child tickets
a- adult tickets
4a + 7c = $83
5a + 6c = $90
multiply by -5
-20a - 35c = -$415
20a + 24c = $360
-11c= -$55
c = $5 child tickets
4a + 7(5)= $83
4a + 35 = $83
4a = $48
a= $12 adult tickets
The individual-size box of cereal is a rectangular prism with a volume of 44.625 inches³.
<h3>What is the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>
The volume of rectangular prism of length l, width w and height h is given by:
V = lwh.
In this problem, the standard dimensions are:
- l = 3(1/2) = 3 + 0.5 = 3.5 inches.
- w = 8(1/2) = 8 + 0.5 = 8.5 inches.
The individual-size box has a 1/10 of the volume of the original box, hence:
V = 0.1 x 3.5 x 8.5 x 15 = 44.625 inches³.

Answer:
9 quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question
Jesse has $3.40 in quarters and nickels
Quarters = q = number of quarters
1 quarter = $0.25
nickels = n = number of nickels
1 nickel = $0.05
Hence,
0.25q + 0.05n = $3.40 .......Equation 1
The number of nickels is 5 more than 2 times the number of quarters.
n = 2q + 5
0.25q + 0.05n = $3.40 .......Equation 1
0.25q + 0.05(2q + 5) = 3.40
0.25q + 0.10q + 0.25= 3.40
0.35q = 3.40 - 0.25
0.35q = 3.15
q = 3.15/0.35
q = 9
Therefore, Jessie has 9 quarters.
