Roberta wants to create 17 ounces of new hand lotion, with a minimum 15% concentration of beeswax, from a mixture of two lotions

. One lotion has a 21% concentration of beeswax, and the second lotion has a concentration of 5% beeswax. Based on the inequality below, how much of the 21% lotion, x, will she need? 0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55 where x is the amount of 21% lotion needed

Given

0.21x + 0.05(17 - x) > 2.55

Open the parenthesis

0.21x + 0.85-0.05x > 2.55

Collect like terms

0.21x-0.05x+0.85>2.55

0.16x+0.85>2.55

0.16x>2.55-0.85

0.16x > 1.7

x > 1.7/0.16

x > 10.625

Hence she will need 21% lotion approximately greater than 10 ounces

Urn A has balls numbered 1 through 6. Urn B has balls numbered 1 through 4. What is the probability that a 4 is drawn from A fol
oksian1 [2.3K]
Drawing the tree diagram of the problem, we see that there are 6 branches for drawing from Urn A, and then 4 branches for each of the 6 branches, for drawing from Urn B.

This means that there are 6*4=24 possible outcomes, which could be listed as
{(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 1)... (6, 3), (6, 4)},

where the first coordinates represent drawing from urn A, and the second coordinates, drawing from urn B.

(4, 2) is one of these 24, so the probability is 1/24


remark, this problem could also have been solved by the multiplication principle of the probabilities of separate events, that is 1/6 (probability of drawing 4 from Urn A) times 1/4 (probability of drawing 2 from B) = 1/24


Answer: 1/24
