Answer:

4 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of children = 4

Distribution of the 4 children :

Number of boys = 3 ; Number of girls = 1

Boy = B ; Girl = G

Possible combinations :

BBBG ; GBBB ; BBGB ; BGBB

From the pascal triangle number of e; number of outcomes = 2

Having exactly 3 boys and 1 girl

Hence, of any of the 4 four total children, 3 must be boys and 1 girl ;

If x varies inversley as y and x=4 when y =8, find x when y=1
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

x = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and y vary inversely, then xy = k where k is the constant of proportion

4(8) = 32 = k

Now, xy = 32

         1(x) = 32

           x = 32

I need help on 19 and 20

Number 19 you are comparing one measurement to another. Since it says 1/2 inch equals 4 ft, we want to find out how many more inches are needed if the given scale was 2/3 = 4 ft. Now lets find a common denominator for both scales stated in inches. We have 2/3 inch and 1/2 inch. Our denominator are the bottom parts of the fraction where we need to find a common factor for the denominator so we can add or subtract fractions. We have a 3 and a 2. You may always use the multiplication between two denominators to find a common factor such as 3 times 2 which equals 6 for both denominators. Now we multiplied the 3 by 2 to get 6 so the top part (numerator needs to be multiplied the the 2 because we changed the bottom part by 2 as well. You should notice that when you reduce your fraction now 4/6 is 2/3. Just a self check example there. As for 1/2 we multiplied a 3 to get 6 for the denominator so we need to multiply the numerator by 3 as well. You now should have 4/6 and 3/6. Since the question asks for how many more inches we need to subtract 4/6 from 3/6 and we get 1/6 inch for our answer.

Ou pick a card at random. Without putting the first card back, you pick a second card at random.
Arte-miy333 [17]
If you cards are only 5,6,7, then the probability of getting even, then even would be zero.

The directions say that the card is not replaced. Therefore, once you pick the 6, there would be no more even cards.
