Answer:

  22 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

When z "varies jointly" with x and y, it can be described by the formula

   z = kxy

Here, we have bags of mulch (n) varying jointly with area (a) and depth (d), both in feet. The given information can let us find the value of k.

  n = kad

  10 = k·(120)(1/4)

  10/30 = k = 1/3 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of k

Now, we can fill in the other values of interest.

  n = (1/3)·(200)·(1/3) = 200/9

  n = 22 2/9

You need 22 2/9 bags of mulch to cover 200 ft² to a depth of 4 inches.

_____

<em>Comment on the problem</em>

This problem requires the formula be written with both area and depth expressed in feet, yet it gives depth in inches. The formula can also be written using depth in inches. In that case, k = 1/36.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 + 3 + 6 = 12 marbles in the bag and 12 * 12 = 144 ways to choose two marbles when replacing. There are 3 * 6 = 18 ways to choose a red marble and then a blue marble so the probability is 18 / 144 = 1 / 8.

The second expression is
200 - 2m
A possible word problem would be this:
The distance from school to the park is 200m. A kid riding a bike is traveling at a speed of 2m/s from the school to the park. Write an expression for the distance remaining between the park and the kid.<span />
