Answer:

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

p + 4/p - 4

multiplying through by p,

p×p + 4/p ×p - 4×p

p² + 4 - 4p = 0

p² - 4p + 4 = 0

factorizing,

p(p - 2) -2(p - 2) =0

(p -2)(p -2) =0

p-2 =0

p=2

A third grade class has 16 girls and 15 boys a fourth grade class has 18 boys and 15 girls when picking for PE captains will mak

Mkey [24]

Answer:

$\dfrac{90}{341}$

Step-by-step explanation:

3rd grade:

Number of girls = 16

Number of boys = 15

Total number of students = 31

4th grade:

Number of girls = 15

Number of boys = 18

Total number of students = 33

Formula for probability of an event E can be observed as:

$P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}$

Probability of picking a boy from 3rd grade, $P_{1} = \dfrac{15}{31} ..... (1)$

Probability of picking a boy from 4th grade, $P_{2} = \dfrac{18}{33} ..... (2)$

These are two independent events of picking a boy from 3rd grade and 4th grade.

So, probability the captain chooses 2 boys in the first pick can be found by multiplying (1) and (2) above.

$P = P_{1} \times P_{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{15}{31} \times \dfrac{18}{33}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{90}{341}$

Billy has 1 gallon of paint. He is going to pour it into a paint tray that measures 10 inches wide, 14 inches long, and 4 cm dee

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The paint will not fill the tray by 10.53 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will find the volume of the paint tray and compare it with the volume of the gallon.

Given dimensions are:

Length = 14 inches

Width = 10 inches

Depth = 4 cm or $\frac{4}{2.54}=1.575$ inches

The volume is given by = length x width x depth

Volume = $14\times10\times1.575=220.50$ cubic inches

Volume of 1 gallon is given as = 231 cubic inches

We can see that volume of 1 gallon is more than volume of tray.

Difference = $231-220.50=10.5$ cubic inches.

So, the paint will not fill the tray by 10.53 cubic inches.
