In order to solve this problem, you must create a ratio. If Bangor is 240 miles away and Javier has only 4 hours to get there, we can divide 240 by 4 which equals 60 miles per hour.
Answer:
x = 15
Explanation:
First, add both equations on one side, and set it equal to 180° because it's supplementary:
2x + 8 + 8x + 22 = 180
combine like terms:
10x + 30 = 180
subtract 30 on both sides of the equation and you end up with:
10x = 150
divide both sides by 10 and you get:
x = 15
Answer:
The probability of a successful event is the ratio of the number of successful events to the total number of events. In this case, a successful event is selecting a red marble from the box. The total number of events is the total number of marbles in the box:
Red marbles/Total number of marbles
4/12 divide
=1/3
Ranking is very critical in this problem. Therefore, the most applicable mathematical theory is permutations.
Ranking possible for the cellists:
Needed cellists = 5
Total available cellists = 10
Possible number of rankings = 10P5 = 10!/(10-5)! = 30240
Ranking possible for the violinists:
Needed violinists = 5
Total available = 16
Possible number of rankings = 16P5 = 16!/(16-5)! = 524160
Therefore,
Ratio of rankings (cellists to violinists) = 30240/524160 = 3/52
