The answer that makes the most scents is. 3 out of the five muffins
You would do 150/15=10 since this is a percent change it to a decimal(.10) to check do 150x.10=15 and 15/.10=150
5:5 (first box, pencils to pens)
7:3 (second box, coloured pencils to crayons)
The probability of picking a pen (1st box): 5/10
The probability of picking a crayon (2nd box): 3/10
Probability of picking both: 5/10*3/10 = 15/100
Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
Answer:
the correct answer is D: they form concentric circles.
