-3/4+2=1.25
Answer:
x + y = 50 (1) and 2x + 3y = 115 (2); x = 35, y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x represents the number of 2 point shots and y represents the number of 3 point shots. If the total number of shots is 50, then x + y = 50 (1)
Also, the total 2 point shots is number of 2 point shots × points per shot = 2x and the total 3 point shots is number of 3 point shots × points per shot = 3y. Since the total number of points is 115, then
2x + 3y = 115 (2)
So, the system of equations are
x + y = 50 (1) and 2x + 3y = 115 (2)
We can solve for x and y by substituting x = 50 - y into (2)
So, 2(50 - y) + 3y = 115
100 - 2y + 3y = 115
100 + y = 115
y = 115 - 100
y = 15
So, x = 50 - y
= 50 - 15
= 35
Given that Erica and AAron,are using lottery system to decide who will wash dishes every night.
They put some red and blue power chips and draw each one. If same colour, Aaron will wash and if not same colours Erica will wash
If the game is to be fair, then both should have equal chances of opportunity for washing.
i.e. Probability for Erica washing = Prob of Aaron washing
i.e. P(different chips) = P(same colour chips)
Say there are m red colours and n blue colours.
Both are drawing at the same time.
Hence Prob (getting same colour) = (mC2+nC2)/(m+n)C2
Probfor different colour = mC1+nC1/(m+n)C2
The two would be equal is mC2 +nC2 = m+n
This is possible if mC2 =m and nC2 = n.
Or m = 2+1 =3 and n =3
That for a fair game we must have both colours to be 3.
36/20 or simplified and as a mixed number would be:
1 and16/20
