The ration of white pair of socks and black pair of socks is 11:8 because Michael has already took one pair of the white socks so it's 11:8 between the two but to know the probability of one color you have to put it over the total amount of pair of socks so in total there are 19 now and 8 black pair of socks (were only looking for the probability of the black pair of socks and not the white)

8:19 is the ratio from black pair of socks to the total pairs of socks


You can also say 8/19 or 42% chance

Michael has already took white pair of socks, so that means that now in the drawer are left 11 pairs of white socks.

Therefore the propability of choosing a pair of black socks:
\frac{8}{19}

alexira [117]
Well you want to do 7.8 divided by 2 which is 3.9. Then you add that to 7.8 to signify that is it 1 1/2 which is 11.7. You subtract that from 60 and you get 48.3 and that is your answer

Which are solutions of x2 + 5x = 2? Check all that<br> apply.
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

x=-5/2+-√33/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+5x=2

you then solve by completing the square using the formula (b/2)^2 in order to create the new term. Solve for x by using this term to complete the square.

Your answer is then

x=-5/2+-√33/2

Find the component of a velocity vector of an airplane that is traveling 150 mph at 45° below horizontal.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

none of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the answer choices agree that the magnitude of the components is 150/√2 ≈ 106.1. The units of these components should be "mph", the same as the units of the magnitude of the given vector.

We only know the angle with respect to horizontal. We don't know whether that angle is measured with respect to the positive x-axis or the negative x-axis. Both of those are horizontal, and there is nothing in the problem statement that restricts the airplane to be traveling in one direction or the other.

Possible answers are ...

<106.1 mph, -106.1 mph> . . . . . . "horizontal" is +x direction

<-106.1 mph, -106.1 mph> . . . . . "horizontal" is -x direction

(The units are not degrees (°).)

DENIUS [597]
Total half lives (n) = 25/10=2.5T
Ending amount= Beganing amount/2^n
                        = 800/2^2.5
                        = 141.41g
