Answer:

104

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of boys : girls = 3 : 1 = 3x : x ( x is a multiplier )

There are 52 more boys than girls , so

3x = x + 52 ( subtract x from both sides )

2x = 52 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 26, then

3x = 3 × 26 = 78 ← number of boys

Total number = 78 + 26 = 104

Solve the equation by using the quadratic formula.<br> 8x2 – 2x - 15 =0
ddd [48]

Answer:

x = 3/2 or x = -5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x over the real numbers:

8 x^2 - 2 x - 15 = 0

Using the quadratic formula, solve for x.

x = (2 ± sqrt((-2)^2 - 4×8 (-15)))/(2×8) = (2 ± sqrt(4 + 480))/16 = (2 ± sqrt(484))/16:

x = (2 + sqrt(484))/16 or x = (2 - sqrt(484))/16

Simplify radicals.

sqrt(484) = sqrt(4×121) = sqrt(2^2×11^2) = 2×11 = 22:

x = (2 + 22)/16 or x = (2 - 22)/16

Evaluate (2 + 22)/16.

(2 + 22)/16 = 24/16 = 3/2:

x = 3/2 or x = (2 - 22)/16

Evaluate (2 - 22)/16.

(2 - 22)/16 = -20/16 = -5/4:

Answer: x = 3/2 or x = -5/4

Given: p(a) =0.70, p(b)=0.60, p(a or b) =0.88. are a and b independent? (use your answer from question
allsm [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(a or b) = P(a) + P(b) - P(a and b)

0.88 = 0.70 + 0.60 -  P(a and b)

P(a and b) = 1.30 - 0.88 = 0.42.

So the events a and b are not mutually exclusive.

ankoles [38]
Ratio and proportion

height:shadow=1.5:2

for the building, shadow=24

1.5:2=h:24
1.5/2=h/24
multiply both sides by 24
36/2=h
18=h
the building is 18 meters
