Answer:

.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome.

Given that the probability that Jane makes money in a given week is .6 and  the probability that Jane and Maria both make money in a given week is .48. Then the probability that Maria makes money in a given week...

Let the probability that Jane makes money in a given week be p(j) and that Maria makes money in a week be p(m) then

p(j) = .6 and

p(j) * p(m) = .48

.6 * p(m) = .48

p(m) = .48/.6

= .8

In class, 5/9 of the students have blue Eyes. if 10 students have blue eyes, how many students are in the class in total?
KiRa [710]
Let us cross multiply.

5/9=10/x

9 x 10= 5x

90=5x

90 <u />÷ 5= 5x <span>÷ 5

18=x

So, the answer is 18. I hope this helped you, since I just learned cross multiplication last week.</span>

You have D dollars to buy fence to enclose a rectangular plot of land (see figure at right). The fence for the top and bottom co
alex41 [277]

The perimeter of the rectangular plot of land is given by the expression below

P=2x+2y

On the other hand, since the available money to buy fence is D dollars,

\begin{gathered} D=4(2x)+3(2y) \\ \Rightarrow D=8x+6y \\ D\rightarrow\text{ constant} \end{gathered}

Furthermore, the area of the enclosed land is given by

A=xy

Solving the second equation for x,

\begin{gathered} D=8x+6y \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6y}{8} \end{gathered}

Substituting into the equation for the area,

\begin{gathered} A=(\frac{D-6y}{8})y \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{D}{8}y-\frac{3}{4}y^2 \end{gathered}

To find the maximum possible area, solve A'(y)=0, as shown below

\begin{gathered} A^{\prime}(y)=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{D}{8}-\frac{3}{2}y=0 \\ \Rightarrow\frac{3}{2}y=\frac{D}{8} \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{D}{12} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the corresponding value of x is

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{D}{12} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{D-6(\frac{D}{12})}{8}=\frac{D-\frac{D}{2}}{8}=\frac{D}{16} \end{gathered}<h2>Thus, the dimensions of the fence that maximize the area are x=D/16 and y=D/12.</h2><h2>As for the used money,</h2>\begin{gathered} top,bottom:\frac{8D}{16}=\frac{D}{2} \\ Sides:\frac{6D}{12}=\frac{D}{2} \end{gathered}<h2>Half the money was used for the top and the bottom, while the other half was used for the sides.</h2>
