Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
It was estimated that because of people switching to Metro trains about 33000 of CNG 3300 tons of diesel and 21000 tons of petrol was saved by the end of year 2007 (I) find a fraction of the quantity of diesel saved to the quantity of petrol saved (ii) find the quantity of cng to the quantity of diesel saved
Answer:
(I) 11/70
(II) 1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Metro trains contain 330,000 tons of CNG
3300 tons of diesel was saved
21000 tons of petrol was saved at the end of 2007
(I) The fraction of the quantity of diesel saved to the quantity of petrol saved can be calculated as follows
= 3300/21000
= 11/70
(II) The fraction of the quantity of CNG saved to the quantity of diesel can be calculated as follows
= 3300/33000
= 1/10
Answer:
the distance from home to hardware store = (3030/60) * 88= 4444miles
time to travel back at a speed of 24mph = 4444miles /24mph = 11110 minutes
Answer: a) 0 and 0.01 b) 0.99 and 1 c) 0.3 d) 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the likelihood that an event will occur. Probability values always lies between 0 and 1 0<P<1
A sure event occurs when the probability is 1 or values pretty close to 1 while probability of an impossible event is 0 or values close to 0. Looking at the given probability values, we can conclude that!
a) 0 and 0.01 = The event is impossible, it would never occur.
b) 0.99 and 1 - The event is certain, it would always occur.
c) 0.3 - The event is highly unlikely, but it will occur once in a while.
d) 0.6 - The event will occur more often than not.
