Answer:

The probability is 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 2 nectarines in a total of 16 pieces of fruit in a basket, so the probability of random selected piece of fruit being a nectarine is the number of nectarines over the total number of pieces of fruit:

Probability = Number of nectarines / Total pieces = 2 / 16

To find the fraction in the simplest form, we divide the numerator and denominator by 2:

Probability = (2/2) / (16/2) = 1/8

1. Jeremy has $12000 cash to invest in the bank compounded at 4% interest annually.
gavmur [86]

Answer:

A(x) = 12000(1.04)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

$12000 cash

This means that P = 12000

Compounded at 4% interest annually.

This means that r = 0.04, n = 1

What equation will calculate the value in x years?

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

A(x) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nx}

A(x) = 12000(1 + 0.04)^x

A(x) = 12000(1.04)^x

A plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. Find the leng
finlep [7]

Answer: the length is 11 cm.

The width is 7 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the rectangular plastic box.

Let W represent the width of the rectangular plastic box.

The area of the rectangular top of the box is 77 square cm. This means that

LW = 77- - - - - - - ;- - - -1

The plastic box has a length 4 cm longer than its width. This means that

L = W + 4

Substituting L = W + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

(W + 4)W = 77

W² + 4W = 77

W² + 4W - 77 = 0

W² + 11W - 7W - 77 = 0

W(W + 11) - 7(W + 11) = 0

W - 7 = 0 or W + 11 = 0

W = 7 or W = - 11

Since the width cannot be negative, then W = 7cm

L = 77/7 = 11 cm

The value of a in the equation ax + y = 5 , if x = 2 and y = 3 is a) – 1 b) 0 c) 1
sasho [114]

Answer:

c) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

=> ax+y = 5

<u><em>Putting x =2, y =3</em></u>

=> a(2)+3 = 5

=> 2a = 5-3

=> 2a = 2

<em>Dividing both sides by 2</em>

=> a = 1
