What is 12 divided by 2/3 and why? Please help

The ratio of blue jays to Robin's was 6 to 7. If there were 84 Robins, how many blue jays were there?

Paul [167]

Answer:

72

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the ratio of blue jays to robin's was 6 to 7 then if there were 84 robins how many blue jays were there.

6 to 7 can also be express as 6/7

Thus, we can set up a proportion

6/7 = x/84

Now, we have to solve for x

x = 72

Hence, if there were 84 robin there would be 72 blue jays.

for the given license plate configuration, determine how many different plates are possinle if letters and digits (a) can ba rep

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

a) 1,757,600 different plates possible.

b) 1,404,000 different plates possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The permutations formula is important to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

$P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

(a) can be repeated:

There are 3 letters, each one with 26 possible outcomes.

2 digits, each with 10 possible outcomes

So

T = 26*26*26*10*10 = 1757600

1,757,600 different plates possible.

(b) cannot be repeated:

Here the permutations formula is used.

Three letters, from a set of 26.

Two digits, from a set of 10. So

$T = P_{(26,3)}*P_{(10,2)} = \frac{26!}{(26-3)!}*\frac{10!}{(10-2)!} = 1404000$

1,404,000 different plates possible.

Mark wants to improve his free throw percentage in basketball He has shot 1,250 free throws over the last 20 days. He shot eithe

Sedaia [141]

Let's use a for number of days when he shot 50 shots and b for number of days when he shot 100 shots.
We have:
a + b = 20

We also know that he shot total of 1250 shots:
50a + 100 b = 1250

We have two equations. We can solve them for a and b. Let's rearange first equation for a:
a= 20 - b
We insert this into second equation:
50 * (20 - b ) + 100b = 1250
1000 - 50b + 100b = 1250
50b = 250
b = 5
a = 20 - 5
a = 15

Mark shot 100 shots on 5 days.

I need help on number 10 please!

Answer: y = 4x/3 - 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

c represents the y intercept

m = slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

The given line, L1 passes through A(6, - 7) and B(- 6, 2). The slope of line L1 is

m = (2 - - 7)/(- 6 - 6) = 9/ -12 = - 3/4

If two lines are perpendicular, it means that the slope of one line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the other line.

Therefore, the slope of line L2 passing through the midpoint, M is 4/3

The formula determining the midpoint of a line is expressed as

[(x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2]

Midpoint, M = [(6 + -6)/2 , (- 7 + 2)/2]

= (0, - 5/2]

This means that the y intercept of line L2 is - 5/2

The equation of L2 becomes

y = 4x/3 - 5/2
