So hmmm from 21 1/4 to 37, let's check the difference, to see how many feet is that.

\bf 37-21\frac{1}{4}\implies 37-\cfrac{21\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies 37-\cfrac{85}{4}\impliedby LCD~is~4
\\\\\\
\cfrac{148-85}{4}\implies \cfrac{63}{4}

so hmmm now, its growth rate is    \bf 1\frac{3}{4}\implies \cfrac{1\cdot 4+3}{4}\implies \cfrac{7}{4}

so.... the tree grows 7/4 in 365 days( a year ), how many days does it take it to get to 63/4 feet?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
\stackrel{growth}{feet}&\stackrel{time}{days}\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
\frac{7}{4}&365\\\\
\frac{63}{4}&d
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{7}{4}}{\frac{63}{4}}=\cfrac{365}{d}\implies \cfrac{7}{4}\cdot \cfrac{4}{63}=\cfrac{365}{d}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{28}{252}=\cfrac{365}{d}\implies d=\cfrac{252\cdot 365}{28}\implies d=\cfrac{91980}{28}\implies \boxed{d=3285}

To get to school you can travel by car, bus or bicycle. If you travel by car, there is a 50% chance you will be late because the
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

a) 16.66%

b) 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Since the teacher assumes each of the three possibilities are equally likely, then he assumes 33.33% to each one.

In this case the probability that you traveled to school that day by car would be

50%  of 33.33% = (0.5)(0.3333) = 0.1666 = 16.66%

b)

In this case, the teacher would assume

90% ride on bicycle

0% take the bus

10% travel by car

So, in this case the probability would be

50% of 10% = (0.5)(0.1) = 0.05 = 5%
