Scilla [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

30 minutes = 0.5 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 miles faster than Liam:

4x + 0.25 = 4.5x

0.25 = 4.5x - 4x

0.25 = 0.5x

x = 0.25 / 0.5

x = 0.5 hours

x = 30 minutes

A drawer contains 4 white socks, 5 black socks, and 3 brown socks. Find the probability that...
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

5/12

7/12

125/36 = 3,47%

50/11 = 4,54%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability a black sock is selected when a person chooses 1 sock = 5/12

Probability a white or brown sock is selected when a person chooses 1 sock =

7/12

Probability  a person chooses 3 socks and selects a white first, a black second, and a brown last if the socks are replace = (4/12 * 5/12 * 3/12)*100 =125/36 = 3,47%

Pobability  a person chooses 3 socks and selects a white first, a black second, and a brown last if the socks are NOT replace = (4/12 * 5/11 * 3/ 10)*100 = 50/11 = 4,54%

1/3 cup of flour is used to make 5 dinner rolls.
Radda [10]
Divide.

1/3 / 5

Or multiply by the reciprocal of 5:

1/3 * 1/5 = 1/15

Therefore 1/15 cup of flour is used to make 1 dinner roll.

We can set up a proportion:

5/1/3 = x/5 2/3

Multiply 5 2/3 to both sides:

28 1/3 / 1/3 = x

85 = x

So 85 rolls can be made with 5 2/3 cups of flour.

Write a quadratic relation in the form y = ax2 + bx + c with roots 4 and - 3 and
pochemuha

Answer:

y =  2*x^2 - 2*x - 24

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a quadratic function with roots a and b, we can write the equation for that function as:

y = f(x) = A*(x - a)*(x - b)

Where A is the leading coefficient.

In this case, we know that the roots are: 4 and -3

Then the function will be something like:

f(x) = A*(x - 4)*(x - (-3) )

f(x) = A*(x - 4)*(x + 3)

Now we need to determine the value of A.

We also know that the graph of the function passes through the point (3, -12)

This means that:

f(3) = -12

Then:

-12 = A*(3 - 4)*(3 + 3)

-12 = A*(-1)*(6)

-12 = A*(-6)

-12/-6 = A

2 = A

Then the equation is:

y = f(x) = 2*(x - 4)*(x + 3)

Now we need to write this in standard form, so we just need to expand the equation:

y = f(x) = 2*(x^2 + x*3 - x*4 - 4*3)

y = f(x) = 2*(x^2 - x - 12)

y = f(x) = 2*x^2 - 2*x - 24

Then the relation is:

y =  2*x^2 - 2*x - 24

A bag contains 170 marbles. There are red, blue and yellow marbles in a ratio of 9:3:5. How many yellow marbles does the bag con
telo118 [61]

Answer:

50 yellow marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Information:

170 marbles

RED : BLUE : YELLOW

9 : 3 : 5

Solving:

To find out how many yellow parts there are, we need to find out how many marbles 5 parts account to.

Altogether, 9 + 3 + 5 = 17. This means there are 17 parts.

The bag contains 170 marbles and the ratio adds up to 17 parts.

We can figure out what 1 part of the ratio accounts to by dividing 170 by 17.

\frac{170}{17} = 10.

1 part = 10

Now remember yellow is 5 parts, now that we know that 1 part is 10, we need to multiply 10 by 5 to find out how many yellow marbles we have.

5 x 10 = 50.

Therefore we have 50 yellow marbles.
