Envision this as a right triangle, with one leg of 12 miles, and the other 16 miles. Solve using the Pythagorean Theorem a²+b²=c²:

12²+16²=c²
400 = c²
20=c...they live at least 20 miles from each other.

1.A bag has 4 green blocks, 3 red blocks, 2 blue blocks, and 1 yellow block. Find the probability of randomly selecting a block
maks197457 [2]

Answer: 1) 7/10  2) 15  3) 240  4) 1/4  5) 4/9  6) 1/20  7) No, not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4 green+3red+2blue+1yellow = 10 total

if 3/10 are red, then 7/10 are not red. So the second option, 7/10

2. 3 cartons in every 40

40*5 = 200

so do 3*5 = 15

so 15 or the third option

3. 40 out of 110

110*6 = 660

so do 40*6 = 240

so 240 or the fourth option

4.

Flipping heads: 1/2

rolling even: well, there is 2, 4, and 6, or 3 even numbers so 3/6 or 1/2

do 1/2*1/2 = 1/4

so 1/4 or the third option

5. Numbers more than 2: 3, 4, 5, 6 (4 numbers)

4/6 or 2/3 chance the first time, 2/3 chance the second time

do 2/3*2/3 = 4/9

so 4/9 or the second option

6. 5 dishes and 4 desserts

1/5 chance of picking the dish

1/4 chance of picking the dessert

do 1/5*1/4 = 1/20

so 1/20 or the fourth option

7. Since you don’t replace the marble after picking it, it affects the outcome of the second draw. Therefore the events are dependent, or not independent. So the second option.

\bf {{ a}}\%\ of\ b \implies  \cfrac{{{ a}}}{100}\cdot b\implies {{ a}}\div 100\cdot b\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus
\\\\

\begin{cases}
{{ 1}}\%\ of\ 400 \implies  \cfrac{{{ 1}}}{100}\cdot 400\implies {{1}}\div 100\cdot 400\\
--------------\\
{{ \frac{1}{2}}}\%\ of\ 400 \implies  \cfrac{{{ \frac{1}{2}}}}{100}\cdot 400\implies {{\frac{1}{2}}}\div 100\cdot 400
