Answer:
2/11
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the LIKELIHOOD of an event.
According to the word problem, there are 11 people in total and 2 of them are being selected.
The probability of them being the 2 oldest people is 2 in 11, or 2/11.
Answer:
The answer would be 0.8, 8 squares filled.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because 0.4*2 is 0.8 and that out of a grid of 10 means that 8 cubes would be shaded.
The side of the barn is made of 2 shapes, a triangle and a rectangle. Find the area of each shape, then add together to find the total area.
To find the area of the triangle, we multiply 1/2 x (triangle base x triangle height), we can find the triangle height by subtracting the height on the right by the height on the left, so 26.5-14.5 = 12.5ft.
The area of the triangle is 1/2 x (22.8x12.5) = 142.5 square ft.
The area of the rectangle is calculated by multiplying one side by the other, which is 22.8x14.5 = 330.6 square feet.
The total area of the side of the barn is 330.6 + 142.5 = 473.1 square feet.
Since we now know the area of the side of the barn, we can find the cost of paint needed. A one gallon paint can covers 350 square feet and costs $20, but we need to paint 473.1 square feet so we'll need to buy a second can. This means we can easily paint the side of the barn with 2 cans, costing $40 in paint.
