The ratio of two numbers is 8 to 5. The difference in two numbers is 24. What are the numbers?

1 answer:

8 0

Let, the numbers are: 8x, 5x
It is given that, 8x - 5x = 24
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8

So, 8x = 8(8) = 64
also, 5x = 5(8) = 40

In short, Numbers would be 40 and 64

Hope this helps!

The probability 0.1641.

The binomial distribution is

$_nC_r(p)^r(1-p)^{n-r}$

For this problem, we have:
$_7C_5(0.5)^5(1-0.5)^{7-5}

This is a tough one :/<br> If f(x) = -x + 7 and g(x) = radical of x– 3,<br> what is (f º g)(4)

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, first plug in 4 as your x value for your g(x) equation.

$g(4)=\sqrt{4-3} \\g(4)=\sqrt{1} \\g(4)=1$

Next, plug in the value of g(4) into your f(x) equation for x.

$f(1)=-1+7\\f(1)=6$

Express M in terms of B and n: B = 3Mn 2

Molodets [167]

We are given the expression B=3Mn/2 and told to express M in terms of B and n. This means that we should apply mathematical operations on both sides of the equation so we "isolate " M on one side of the equality sign. We begin with the given equation
