Solution :

Let A = Economics, B = Mathematics

n(A) = 311, n(B) = 243, $n(A \cap B) = 135$

a). So, $n(A \cup B) = n(A) +n(B) - n(A \cap B)$

                     = 311 + 243 - 135

                     = 419

b). n(A only) = 311 - 135

                   = 176

     n(B only) = 243 - 135

                   = 108

Exactly one of these two courses

  $=\frac{176+108}{500}$

  = 0.568

c). Neither economics nor mathematics

    $=\frac{500-419}{500} $

  $=\frac{81}{500}$

 = 0.162

Scott has a rope 8 metres long. He says, “I need 9 pieces each 0.89 metres long.’’ Will Scott have enough ribbon?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

How did it go from "rope" to "ribbon", therefore, the statement is incorrect. This is a man-made equation that clearly has a mistake. If it was to say, "Will Scott have enough rope?" then the answer will be "YES"

The ratio of the mass of an ant to the mass it can carry 1:50
slavikrds [6]

The ratio 1:50 means that an ant can carry an object heavy 50 times its mass.

So, if the mass of the ant is 0.4 grams, it can carry at most 50 times that mass, i.e. 50x0.4 = 20 grams

In order to answer the second question, you need to consider your mass and multiply it by 50: if you were as strong as an ant, you could lift that weight!
