4 trillion pounds.
1 gigawatt-hour is equal to 1,000,000 kilowatt-hours.
Out of our 4,000,000 gigawatt-hours, 50% of it comes from coal; this is 2,000,000 gigawatt-hours.
2,000,000(1,000,000) = 2,000,000,000,000 (2 trillion) kilowatt-hours.
Since each kilowatt-hour is 2 lbs of carbon dioxide, 2 trillion * 2 = 4 trillion lbs of carbon dioxide.
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
a positive divided by a negative will always give you a negative
Let the number of girls be g and the number of boys be b.
b = 3g
Class average = class score/class size = 17
17 = (class score) / 3g + g
68g = class score
Class score = girls score + boys score
Girls average = girls score/g
girls score = 18g
68g = 18g + boys score
boys score = 50g
Boys average = 50g/3g
= 16.7
Answer:
See below in bold,.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 30-17 = 13 boys in the class.
a. Prob(First is a boy ) = 13/30 and Prob( second is a boy = 12/29).
As these 2 events are independent:
Prob( 2 boys being picked) = 13/30 * 12/29 = 26/145 or 0.179 to the nearest thousandth.
b. By a similar method to a:
Prob ( 2 girls being picked) = 17/30 * 16/29 = 136/435 = 0.313 to the nearest thousandth.
c. Prob (First student is a boy and second is a girl) = 13/30 * 17/29 = 221/870.
Prob ( first student is a girl and second is a boy) = 17/30 * 13/29 = 221/870
These 2 events are not independent so they are added:
Prob( one of the students is a boy) = 2 (221/870 = 221/435 = 0.508 to the nearest thousandth.
