Answer:

12 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The kerosene usage is assumed to be jointly proportional to the number of stoves and the number of hours. That is ...

v = k·s·h . . . . . for s stoves running h hours

Then the value of k is ...

k = v/(sh) = (16 L)/(12·14) = 2/21 . . . . liters per stove-hour

Then the volume of kerosene required for 7 stoves and 18 hours is ...

v = (2/21)·s·h

v = (2/21)(7)(18) = 12 . . . liters

What number does x stand for in this equation?<br> -7X + 6= 27

Levart [38]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-7X + 6= 27

Subtract 6 from each side

-7x +6-6 = 27 -6

-7x = 21

divide each side by -7

-7x/-7 = 21/-7

x = -3

A box contains 5 red balls, 6 white balls and 9 black balls. Two balls are drawn at

valina [46]

Answer:

$P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Red = 5$

$White = 6$

$Black = 9$

Required

The probability of selecting 2 same colors when the first is not replaced

The total number of ball is:

$Total = 5 + 6 + 9$

$Total = 20$

This is calculated as:

$P(Same)=P(Red\ and\ Red) + P(White\ and\ White) + P(Black\ and\ Black)$

So, we have:

$P(Same)=\frac{n(Red)}{Total} * \frac{n(Red) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(White) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(Black)}{Total} * \frac{n(Black) - 1}{Total - 1}$

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

$P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{5 - 1}{20- 1} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{6 - 1}{20- 1} + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{9- 1}{20- 1}$

$P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{4}{19} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{5}{19} + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{8}{19}$

$P(Same)=\frac{20}{380} + \frac{30}{380} + \frac{72}{380}$

$P(Same)=\frac{20+30+72}{380}$

$P(Same)=\frac{122}{380}$

$P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}$
