Answer:

It will take him about 13 houses to sell the 5 candy bars.

Pat has an 18% chance of selling his last candy in the 11th house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Pat is required to sell candy bars to raise money for the 6th grade field trip, and there is a 40% chance of him selling a candy bar at each house, and he has to sell 5 candy bars in all, to determine the number of houses it takes and determine the probability he sells his last candy bar at the 11th house, the following calculations must be performed:

5 / 0.40 = X

12.5 = X

So, it will take him about 13 houses to sell the 5 candy bars.

5/11 = X

0.45 = X

0.45 x 0.4 = 0.18

Thus, Pat has an 18% chance of selling his last candy in the 11th house.

1a) 4:2 = 2

4.98 x 2 = $9.96

1b) 3:2 = 1 1/2

4.98 x 3/2 = $7.47

2a) 9:3 = 3

4.80 x 3 = $14.40

2b) 12:3 = 4

4.80 x 4 = $19.20

3a) 6:2 = 3

15.00 x 3 = $45.00

3b) 5:2 = 2 1/2

15.00 x 5/2 = $37.50

Marcie solved the following inequality and her work is shown below:. . −2(x − 5) − 12 ≤ 4 + 6(x + 3). −2x + 10 − 12 ≤ 4 + 6x + 1
BartSMP [9]

All steps that Marcie did are right, but she forgot to change sign in last step.

Consider the inequality

-2(x - 5) -12 \le 4 + 6(x + 3).

Then

-2x+10-12 \le 4 + 6x+18.

Group the numbers:

-2x-2 \le 6x+22.

Separate terms with x and without x in different sides:

-2x-6x \le 22+2.\\-8x\le 24.

The coefficient at x is -8 and it is negative, then dividing the inequality by -8 you have to change sign in opposite:

x\ge -3.

Answer: Marcie forgot to change sign in last step.

How would you round 95687 to the nearest thousand?
andre [41]

Answer:

96,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To round to the nearest thousand, we need to look at the digit in the hundreds place, which is 6. Since 6 > 5, we know that we need to round up (because 6 is closer to 10 than it is to 0). Currently, the number is 95 thousand so when rounding up, the answer will be 96,000.

For each figure answer the following questions
Rudiy27

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC by AA similarity

  b) ED/AB = 3/4

  c) 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Two angles in each triangle are the same, so the AA similarity postulate can be used to declare the ∆ABC ~ ∆EDC. (Each triangle includes a right angle and angle C.)

__

b) Corresponding sides are ED/AB, DC/BC, EC/AC. The ratio of corresponding sides is ED/BC = (12 cm)/(16 cm) = 3/4.

__

c) Using the ratios identified above, we have ...

  DC/BC = 3/4 = x/(20 cm)

  x = 3/4(20 cm)

  x = 15 cm
