Answer:

76

Step-by-step explanation:

n a competitive exam of 40 questions, +3 is awarded for a correct answer and -1 for every wrong answer. Find the total score if a student had 11 wrong answers in his attempt of all questions.

Answers gotten wrong = 11

answers gotten right = 40 - 11 = 29

total score = (point for correct answer x number of correct answer) +  (point for wrong answer x number of wrong answer)

(+3 x 29) + (-1 x 11) = 76

The length of a rectangle is twice its width. Find its area, if its perimeter is 7 and 1/3 cm.
laila [671]

Answer:

2.99 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>(The "..." at the end of the decimal means that number is repeating)</em>

The perimeter of a rectangle is the length around the shape. The equation for a rectangle's perimeter is L + W × 2, with L and W representing length and width, respectively (You multiply the length and width by two because the shape is four-sided, so it has two length sides and two width sides). To find the area of the rectangle, you need to know the individual length and width, so you'll solve for that first.

Since you're only given the perimeter and you know the length is double the width, you'll need to work backwards with this equation. To do this, first divide the perimeter (7 \frac{1}{3}, also written as 7.33...) by 2; this equals 3 \frac{2}{3\\}, also written as 3.66...

Next, you can find the length and width by determining what two numbers multiply to equal 3.66..., with one number being two times larger than the other number. The way I tend to think of this is that if one number is double the other, then the smaller number is one third of the sum of the two numbers (since the smaller number represents one part of the sum, and the other represents two parts of the sum, which is double the smaller number).

Since the length and width combine to be the divided perimeter, 3.66..., that means two thirds of 3.66... is the longer side (the length), and then the one third of 3.66... is the shorter side (the width). This means the length is 2.44... and the width is 1.22...

Finally, you can solve for the perimeter by dividing the perimeter by two and then subtracting the length squared. The written equation looks like this:

A = P\frac{1}{2} - L²

(A = area, P = perimeter, L = lenth)

Now just insert the numbers into the equation and solve!

The area of the rectangle is 2.99cm²

Solve algebraically for x and explain each step( using mathematical vocbuary) for the following: 2(x+5)+ 3x = 30
Lelu [443]
First do distributive property
2x + 10 + 3x = 30
Now combine like terms
5x + 10 = 30
Subtract 10 from both sides
5x = 20
Divide both sides by 5
x = 4

Eric's class consists of 12 males and 16 females. If 3 students are selected at random, find the probability that they
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The probability that all are male of choosing '3' students

P(E) = 0.067 = 6.71%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'M' be the event of selecting males n(M) = 12

Number of ways of choosing 3 students From all males and females

n(M) = 28C_{3} = \frac{28!}{(28-3)!3!} =\frac{28 X 27 X 26}{3 X 2 X 1 } = 3,276

Number of ways of choosing 3 students From all males

n(M) = 12C_{3} = \frac{12!}{(12-3)!3!} =\frac{12 X 11 X 10}{3 X 2 X 1 } =220

The probability that all are male of choosing '3' students

P(E) = \frac{n(M)}{n(S)} = \frac{12 C_{3} }{28 C_{3} }

P(E) =  \frac{12 C_{3} }{28 C_{3} } = \frac{220}{3276}

P(E) = 0.067 = 6.71%

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

The probability that all are male of choosing '3' students

P(E) = 0.067 = 6.71%
