Lets discern the infomation:
number_men = 165*0.6 = 99
so there are 99 men
non_fiction = 165 * 0.4 = 66
so 66 authors write non-fiction.
men writing non-fiction are 40, so 59 men write fiction, and 26 women write non-fiction.
probability of author non-fiction or man?
non-fiction: 40 men + 26 women = 66 total
man writers = 99
so in total 99 man + 26 women = 115 authors
hence the probability is:
115/165 = 69.6%
Think: You're treating the numerator and the denom. in precisely the same way. In doing so you are NOT changing the value of the fraction, only the appearance.
Example: start with 2/3. Mult num. and den. both by 7: 14/21.
2/3 and 14/21 result in precisely the same decimal fraction, showing that the latter set of fractions is equivalent to the former set.
Answer:
A. Y-68=-5(x-14)
Step-by-step explanation:
Mary is spending money at the average rate of $5 per day. After 14 days she has $68 left. The amount left depends on the number of days that have passed. write an equation for the situation
We find the equation using the point slope equation of a line. This is given as:
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
The slope intercept form will be
y = -5x + b
since the amount decreases by $5 per day...
Our slope is -5 so m=-5
We have a point (x1,y1) = (14, 68)
Hence, we have:
y-68 = -5(x-14)
Option A is correct
Answer:
1. $8.
2. 48 counters.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. A pair of socks cost 20 - 2(6)
= $8.
2. let the number of counters in Box A and Box be be x.
Then the number of counters in Box B after the transfer is x + 1/2 x.
x + 1/2 x = 72
1.5 x = 72
x = 72 / 1.5
= 48.

1/48
