Divide 54 into two parts so that four times the greater equals five time the less

1 answer:

5 0

Let the both the parts be 'x' and 'y'
x>y
We know that 4x = 5y
so x = 5y/4
x + y = 54
Replacing x we get
(5y/4) + y = 54
(5y +4y)/4 = 54
9y = 216
y = 24
Replacing y in ' x+y = 54'
we get x = 30

Hence the larger part is 30 whereas the smaller part is 24

g An urn contains 10 balls: 4 red and 6 blue. A second urn contains 16 red balls and an unknown number of blue balls. A single b

Fed [463]

Answer:

Therefore the of blue in the second urn is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let second urn contain x number of blue ball .

Urn Red Ball Blue Ball Total Ball

1 4 6 10

2 16 x 16+x

Getting a red ball from first urn is $P(R_1)=\frac{\textrm {Number of red ball}}{\textrm {Total ball}}$ $=\frac{4}{10}$

Getting a blue ball from first urn is $P(B_1)=\frac{\textrm {Number of blue ball}}{\textrm {Total ball}}$ $=\frac {6}{10}$

Getting a red ball from second urn is $P(R_2)=\frac{\textrm {Number of red ball}}{\textrm {Total ball}}$ $=\frac{16}{16+x}$

Getting a blue ball from second urn is $P(B_2)=\frac{\textrm {Number of blue ball}}{\textrm {Total ball}}$ $=\frac {x}{16+x}$

Getting two red balls from first and second urn is $=\frac{4}{10}\times \frac{16}{16+x}$

$=\frac{32}{5(16+x)}$

Getting two blue balls from first and second urn is $=\frac{6}{10}\times \frac{x}{16+x}$

$=\frac{3x}{5(16+x)}$

The probability that both balls are the same in color is $=\frac{32}{5(16+x)}+\frac{3x}{5(16+x)}$

Given that the probability that both balls are the same in color is 0.44.

According to the problem,

$\frac{32}{5(16+x)}+\frac{3x}{5(16+x)}=0.44$

$\Rightarrow \frac{32+3x}{5(16+x)} =0.44$

$\Rightarrow \frac {32+3x}{(80+5x)} =0.44$

$\Rightarrow 32+3x =0.44(80+5x)$

$\Rightarrow 32+3x =35.2 +2.2x$

$\Rightarrow 3x -2.2 x= 35.2 -32$

$\Rightarrow 0.8x= 3.2$

$\Rightarrow x = 4$

Therefore the of blue in the second urn is 4.

The quadrilateral WXYZ has vertices W(3,-5) X(1,-3) Y(-1,-5) and Z(1,-7)

dmitriy555 [2]

The preimage WXYZ is to undergo a rotation of 90° in the clockwise direction.
A 90° clockwise rotation leads to the following change in the coordinates;
(x,y) -> after rotation (y,-x)
this rule applies for all the vertices in the preimage
W - (3,-5) --> W' (-5,-3)
X - (1,-3) ---> X' (-3,-1)
Y - (-1,-5)---> Y' (-5,1)
Z - (1,-7) ---> Z' (-7,-1)
therefore the new coordinates are W' (-5,-3), X' (-3,-1), Y' (-5,1) and Z' (-7,-1)
