Step-by-step explanation:

The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.

Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.

What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.

Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.

For each trial, we get for each child, C:

C1: X + (X or Y)

C2: X + (X or Y)

C3: X + (X or Y)

C4: X + (X or Y)

C5: X + (X or Y)

Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.

Eight decreased by three times the sum of a number and six<br><br> Write as an algebraic expression
Advocard [28]
8-3(x+6)

explanation:

it just makes sense lol but also bc “8 decreased by three” means “8 minus 3”

then “times” means “multiply”

then “a sum” means “addition”

then “a number” since we don’t know what a number is then we use “x”

“and” means “addition”

“a number and six” means “x+6”

Samuel spends a winter day recording the temperature once every three hours for science class. At 9 am, the temperature was -14.
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The temperature at 9 am = -14.7°F

Between 9am and 12 pm = -14.7 + 17.8 = 3.1°F

Between 12pm and 3 pm = 3.1+5.1 = 8.2°

Between 3pm and 6 pm = 8.2-14.5 = -6.3°F

The ratio of pencil to rulers is 6:10. the are 21 pencils. how many rulers are there
Reika [66]

There would be 35 rulers.

In order to solve this, use cross multiplication.

6/10 = 21/x -----> cross multiply

10*21 = 6*x

210 = 6x

35 = x
