Answer:
there are 3 adults and 8 children
Step-by-step explanation:
8*3 (3=Adults)=$24
5*8 (8 children)=$40
24+40=$64
3/4 mile is 0.75 mile per minute
There are 60 minutes in one hour
0.75 times 60 equals 45 miles
At first there are three marbles for Sam to pick from. the possibility of drawing a colored marble is 2/3. if Sam picks one of the colored marbles, the possibility of therefore (if he'd drawn the colored marble) drawing the second colored marble is 1/2. for the possibility of those happening consequently, we have to multiply the possibilities. 2/3 * 1/2 is 2/6 is 1/3. which means Sam wins in 33.333...% cases. Julie has a better chance of winning.
adding a white marble would change the possibilities to 1/2 and 1/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 16.7% cases, which is even less fair.
adding a colored marble would change the possibilities to 3/4 and 2/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 3/4 * 2/3 = 6/12 = 50% cases, which finally makes the game fair.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation, use the slope-intercept formula:
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Now, it'll really help to draw a line through the points, connecting them. If you look at point (0,2), we can see that this is the y-intercept (where a point sits on the y-axis when x=0). You can insert this into the equation by taking the y value:
Now, take any two points to find the slope. To make it easier, I'll use (1,5) and (0,2). Use the slope formula for when you know two points:
Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Insert values:
Solve:
Since both are negative, the result is a positive:
Insert this into the equation as m, the slope:
Done.
