Answer: 259/260 or 0.99615 (depending on which answer format your teacher wants)
There are 10 numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 26 letters in the set {A, B, C, ..., Z}. Multiply those values: 10*26 = 260. So there are 260 ways to pick a number followed by a letter. One example is 7P.
There is only one way Matthew can get the correct answer, and there are 260 - 1 = 259 ways to get the wrong answer. We divide 259 over 260 to get the probability of getting the incorrect answer, which is 259/260.
If you need this fraction in decimal form, then use a calculator to find that 259/260 = 0.99615 approximately
Answer: 8 1/2 is less than 9 1/2, 8 1/2< 9 1/2
volume of the ball = 4/3 * PI *r^3 =
4/3 * 3.14 * 2.86^3 = 97.99 cubic inches
this is less than the volume of the box, so yes it will fit
Answer:
5 or 6
Step-by-step explanation:
So I did it in a different way than shown in rsm classes. I said that the speed was x-2 and x.
then I said the distance was 6 and 15. If the time taken was 1 hour more, then we can come up with this equation:
Since the time is 6/x-2 or 15/x
15/x-6/x-2=1
multiply everything to get a common denominator then cancel it out to get
(15x-30)-6x=x^2-2x
11x-30=x^2
x^2-11x+30=0
(x-5)(x-6) is factored form.
so x=5 or x=6. this means that the speed of the boat is either 5km/h or 6 km/h
