Answer:

a. $3600

b. 6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the question into an equation:

8x - 1/4 x 8x = 5x + 450

(simplify before solving) 6x = 5x + 450

(solve) 6x-5x = 450

x = 450

This means that Jimmy had 8 x 450 $ to start with = 3600

you can check this by subtracting a quarter of 3600 from 3600 and also multiplying 450 by 5 and then obtaining their difference. You get 450!

Now ratio of new amounts:

Jimmy now has: $2700

John still has: $2250

so ratio is 2700:2250

simplify to 6:5

Hope this helps

65 * 1.35 = 87.75

87.75 does not equal 92
so this is False

Of the people who fished at Clearwater Park today, 48 had a fishing license, 32and did not. Of the people who fished at Mountain

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The probability that the fisher chosen from Clearwater did not have a license and the fisher chosen from Mountain View had a license is 0.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

X = a fisher at Clearwater Park had a fishing license

Y = a fisher at Mountain View Park had a fishing license

The two events are independent.

The information provided is:

n (X) = 48

n (X') = 32

n (Y) = 72

n (Y') = 18

Then,

N (X) = n (X) + n (X')

= 48 + 32

= 80

N (Y) = n (Y) + n (Y')

= 72 + 18

= 90

Compute the probability that the fisher chosen from Clearwater did not have a license and the fisher chosen from Mountain View had a license as follows:

$P(X'\cap Y)=P(X')\times P(Y)$

$=\frac{n(X')}{N(X)}\times \frac{n(Y)}{N(Y)} \\\\=\frac{32}{80}\times\frac{72}{90}\\\\=0.32$

Thus, the probability that the fisher chosen from Clearwater did not have a license and the fisher chosen from Mountain View had a license is 0.32.

No Spam. I will mark Brainliest, if you get it right. A tank's length is 4 feet longer than its width. The height is 2 feet more

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say x the width of the tank,

x+4 its length,

x+2 its height

$Volume=105=x(x+4)(x+2)\\\\P(x)=x^3+6x^2+8x-105=0\\\\105=3*5*7\\\\P(1)\neq 0\\P(-1)\neq 0\\P(3)=0\\\\\begin{array}{|c|cccc|}&x^3&x^2&x&1\\&1&6&8&-105\\x=3&&3&27&105\\----&--&--&--&--\\&1&9&35&0\\\end{array}\\\\\\P(x)=x^3+6x^2+8x-105=(x-3)(x^2+9x+35)\\And \ x^2+9x+35\ is\ not \ factorizable\ (\Delat=9^2-4*35 < 0)\\$

width=3

length=3+4=7

height=3+2=5
