Answer:

there would have been 12 crackers on the plate at the start

Step-by-step explanation:

So 1/3 +1/4 = 7/12

Therefore 5/12 left on the plate …ie 5.

So total to start with

5/5×12=12

A geometric sequence is shown below.
mestny [16]

Answer:

An explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence:

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

It means, option (B) should be true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

-\frac{1}{2},\:-2,\:-8,\:-32,...

A geometric sequence has a constant ratio, denoted by 'r', and is defined by

f_n=f_1\cdot r^{n-1}

Determining the common ratios of all the adjacent terms

\frac{-2}{-\frac{1}{2}}=4,\:\quad \frac{-8}{-2}=4,\:\quad \frac{-32}{-8}=4

As the ratio is the same, so

r = 4

Given that f₁ = -1/2

substituting r = 4, and f₁ = -1/2 in the nth term

f_n=f_1\cdot r^{n-1}

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

Thus, an explicit representation for the nth term of the sequence:

f_n=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:4^{n-1}

It means, option (B) should be true.

A farmer ships oranges in wooden crates. Suppose each orange weighs the same amount. The total weight of a crate filled with ora
maw [93]

Answer: g= 25 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

.38g + 15 = 24.5

.38g = 24.5 - 15

.38g = 9.5

g = 9.5 ÷ .38

g = 25

A card is being drawn from a standard deck of playing cards. Find each probability.
EastWind [94]
These are 6 questions and 6 answers.

To find each probability we will use the definition of probability:

Probability = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

1) <span>P(Jack or ten)
</span>

<span>Answer: 2/13 ≈ 0.12
</span>

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes: A standard deck of cards has 4 jacks and 4 tens, then those are 4 + 4 = 8 different positive outcomes.

ii) Possible outcomes: a standard deck of cards has 52 different cards, so, that is a total of 52 different possible outcomes

 
iii) Probability, P


P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 8 / 52 = 2/13 ≈ 0.15

<span> 2.P(red or black)
</span>

Answer: 1

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

Half of the cards are red and half of the cards are black, so they both add for the total of the cards = 52


ii) Possible outcomes: 52 cards


iii) Probaility, P 

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 52 / 52 = 1

<span> 3.P(queen or club)
</span>

Answer: 4/13 ≈ 0.31

Justification:


i) Positive outcomes

There are 4 Queens.

There are 1/4 of 52 clubs = 1/4 × 52 = 13 clubs.

But you cannot add all of them, because one club is the Quenn of Clubs.

Then, the total number of different Queens and clubs is 4 + 13 - 1 = 16



ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different cards


iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 16 /52 = 4 / 13 ≈ 0.31


<span> 4.P(red or ace)
</span>

Answer: 7 / 13 ≈ 0.54


Justification:


i) Positive outcomes

Half of the cards are red: 26

There are 4 aces. 

Since 2 aces are red, the number of different red and aces cards is: 26 + 4 - 2 = 28

ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different outcomes


iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 28 / 52 = 7 / 13 ≈ 0.54

<span> 5.P(diamond or black)
</span><span>
</span>
Answer: 1/2 = 0.5

Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

There are 52 / 4 = 13 diamonds

There are 26 black cards.


All the diamonds are black cards.

Then, the number of different diamond or black cards is 13 + 26 - 13 = 26

ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different cards.

iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 26 / 52 = 1/2 = 0.5

6.P(face card or spade)

Answer: 11/26 ≈ 0.42


Justification:

i) Positive outcomes

Face cards are jacks, queens and kings. That is 3 × 4 = 12 different cards.

The spades are 13 cards.

Since, 3 of the faces are spade cards, the number of different cards of those types are 12 + 13 - 3 = 22


ii) Possible outcomes: 52 different cards


iii) Probaility, P

P = number of positive outcomes / number of total possible outcomes

P = 22 / 52 = 11 / 26 ≈ 0.42
