Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: 7

Discussion:

Let "x" be Kevin's current age. From the probel statement:

x + 56 = 9x.

Subtract "x" from each side:

(x-x) + 56 = 9x -x or

0 + 56 = 8x. Divide each side by 8:

56/8 = x or

7 = x

Thank you,

MrB

He is currently 47.

56-9=47 and if you switched it around it would be 47+9=56 so the answer is 47.

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=8\sqrt2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{METHOD\ 1}\\\\\text{Use the Pythagorean theorem:}\\\\leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2\\\\\text{We have}\ leg=8,\ leg=8,\ hypotenuse=x.\\\text{Substitute:}\\\\x^2=8^2+8^2\\\\x^2=2(8^2)\to x=\sqrt{2(8^2)}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{ab}=\sqrt{a}\cdot\sqrt{b}\\\\x=\sqrt2\cdot\sqrt{8^2}\qquad\text{use}\ \sqrt{a^2}=a\\\\x=8\sqrt2$

$\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\(look\ at\ the\ picture)\\\\\text{We have}\ a=8.\ \text{Therefore}\ a\sqrt2=8\sqrt2$

70% of kids who visit a doctor have a fever, and 40% of kids who visit a doctor have a sore throat. If the probability that a ki

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

52.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be kids who have a fever, and B be kids who have a sore throat, so

Based on the given information we have

P(A) = 70%, P(B) = 40%, and P(B|A) = 30% (B|A is read as "B given A", which means probability of B happening given that A has already happened)

We are asked to find P(A|B), the probability of a kid having a fever given that we already know he has a sore throat.

Step 1: First find P(A and B), this is the probability of a kid having both a fever and a sore throat. We use the formula

P(B|A) = P(A and B)/P(A)

We have 2 of these values listed above, so we plug them in...

30% = P(A and B)/70%

This give us a value for P(A and B) which equals 21% [multiply both sides by 70% to isolate P(A and B), (30%)(70%) = 21%]

Now we flip the equation to P(A|B), which is

P(A|B) = P(A and B)/P(B)

We have 2 of the values, so we plug them in...

P(A|B) = 21%/40%

This gives us a value of 52.5% (divide 21% by 40%)

1.06t can be written as (1.061/2)2t to give the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate based on an annual rate of 6%. Use

Tema [17]

Answer: $1.06^t$ .

Step-by-step explanation: We are given expression $1.06^t$ .

And $1.06^t$ expression is converted in $(1.06^{1/2})^{2t}$ .

Now, we need to transform the expression into a single exponent expression using the properties of exponents.

We know, according to the properties of exponents

$(a^m)^n = a^{m\times n}$

Applying same rule in given expression, we get

$(1.06^{1/2})^{2t} = (1.06)^{\frac{1}{2} \times 2t}$

On simplifying exponents, we would get t in exponent.

= $1.06^t$ .
