(x+4)•3=30

Now solve :

(x+4)•3=30

3x+12=30
-12   -12

3x=18
/3   /3

x=6

Your answer is 6!

If y varies directly as x, and y is 18 when x is 5, which expression can be used to find the value of y when xis 11
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies directly as x

It means y=kx

y=18 when x=5

y=kx

18=k5

k=18/5

y=? When x=11

y=ky

Substitute the value of k

y=18/5(11)

=18×11/5

=198/5

=39.5

Johnny played 31/2 video games in an hour.How many could be play in 40 minutes ?
REY [17]

<u>Answer: </u>

Johnny could play 2\frac{1}{3} video games in 40 minutes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:  

Johnny played  video games in an hour = 3\frac{1}{2}

To  Find:

Video games Jonny can play in 40 minutes =?

Solution:

number of videos games Jonny  can play in 1 hour = 3 \frac{1}{2}= \frac{7}{2}

And as 1 hour = 60 minutes ,  

So number of videos games Jonny can play in 60 minutes =\frac{7}{2}

=> Videos games Jonny can play in 1 minute ={\frac{\frac{7}{2}}{60}

=>\frac{7}{20\times 6}

=> \frac{7}{120}

=> Videos games Jonny can play in 40 minute = 40 x Videos games Jonny can play in 1 minute

=> Videos games Jonny can play in 40 minute = 40 \times \frac{7}{120}

=> \frac{7}{3}=2\frac{1}{3}

Hence Johnny could play 2\frac{1}{3} video games in 40 minutes.

At a game booth, a student gets a box of candy as the prize for winning a game. The boxes come in four colors: white, red, green
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

First Winner Getting white box = \frac{10}{40}=\frac{1}{4}

Second Winner Getting white box = \frac{9}{39}=\frac{3}{13}

Both getting the white box = \frac{3}{52}

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of available colors = 4

Number of boxes of each color = 10

So total boxes available = 40

Number of white boxes = 10

Probability is defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to total possible outcomes. In this case, getting a white box is favorable outcome, so number of favorable outcomes is 10 and total possible boxes are 40. So,

Probability that first winner will receive a white box = \frac{10}{40}=\frac{1}{4}

After the first winner has been given his box, there are 39 total boxes remaining with 9 white boxes. So,

Probability that second winner will receive a white box =\frac{9}{39}=\frac{3}{13}

The probability that both the winners will receive the white boxes will be the product of their individual probabilities i.e.

Probability that the first winner receiving a white box and the second winner also receiving a box of the same color = \frac{10}{40} \times \frac{9}{39}=\frac{3}{52}
