. Osteen has 32 marbles in his collection. 18 of his marbles are red, four are blue, and the rest are

nalin [4]

Answer: B

Explanation:

32 marbles in total.

18 red marbles

4 blue marbles

10 green marbles.

You are asked what part of Osteen's marbles are red?

Probability = number of possible outcomes/total number of out outcomes.

P(Red) = 18/32 = 9/16

Both, 18 and 32 are divisible by 2 which gives 9/16. Since 9/16 cannot be reduced any further, we live it as it is. If you wanted to plug this into a calculator that would give 0.5625 which is 56.25% of Osteen's marbles are red.

P(Blue) = 4/32 = 1/8. 1/8 = 0.125 which 12.5% of his marbles are blue.

P(Green) = 10/32 = 5/16. 5/16= 0.3125 which 31.25 of his marbles are green. When you add 0.5625 + 0.125 + 0.3125 = 1 which is 100%. All probabilities add up to 1.

Hope this elaborate explanation helps.

An airplane flies 2700 miles to Los Angeles to NYC. When the plane flies back to LA, is it flying in a negative direction? use a

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Distance = abs(-1700)

Distance = 1700 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

NYC is located East of Los Angels.

The Airplane flies from Los Angeles to the left direction from NYC.

Which is negative direction.

Therefore, distance = -1700

Here the distance cannot be negative even though if it flies in negative direction.

Therefore, we use the absolute value.

The absolute value of a number is always positive.

So, distace = abs( -1700)

Distance = 1700 miles.

Hope this will help you understand the concept.

Thank you.

What is the inverse of the function below?<br><br> f(x) = 2^x + 6

Helen [10]

The inverse of this function would be f(x) = $\frac{Log(x - 6)}{Log2}$ .

You can find the value of any inverse function by switching the f(x) and the x value. Then you can solve for the new f(x) value. The end result will be your new inverse function. The step-by-step process is below.

f(x) = $2^{x}$ - 6 ----> Switch f(x) and x

x = $2^{f(x)}$ - 6 ----> Add 6 to both sides

x + 6 = $2^{f(x)}$ -----> Take the logarithm of both sides in order to get the f(x) out of the exponent

Log(x + 6) = f(x)Log2 ----> Now divide both sides by Log2

$\frac{Log(x + 6)}{Log2}$ = f(x) ----> And switch the order for formatting purposes.

f(x) = $\frac{Log(x + 6)}{Log2}$

And that would be your new inverse function.

Of 560 marbles in a bag, 65% are red and the rest are blue. After 28 red marbles are replaced with blue ones, how many blue marb

jonny [76]

Answer: The answer is 400 blue marbles.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that there are 560 marbles in a bag, out of which 65% are red and rest are blue.

So, number of red marbles is

$n_r=65\%\times 560=\dfrac{65}{100}\times 560=364,$

and number of blue marbles is

$n_b=560-364=196.$

Now, if 28 red marbles are replaced by blue marbles, the the new number of red and blue marbles will be

$n_r^\prime=364-28=336~~~\textup{and}~~~n_b^\prime=196+28=224.$

Now, to get 65% of the marbles blue, we need to add some more blue marbles to the bag. Let 'x' number of blue marbles are added to the bag, then

$65\%\times (560+x)=224+x\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{65}{100}\times (560+x)=224+x\\\\\Rightarrow 13(560+x)=20(224+x)\\\\\Rightarrow 7280+13x=4480+20x\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=2800\\\\\Rightarrow x=400.$

Thus, 400 blue marbles need to be added to the bag.
