5.8 Nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x rep no of Nickels in Mike's cup

Then x - 0.2 = Number of quarters in Mike's cup

0.2x = Amount of money that mike has from the nickels

1 ( x - 0.2) = Amount of money that Mike has from the quarter

Then,

0.2x + 1 (x - 0.2) = 6

Expand the bracket

0.2x + x - 0.2x = 6

x = 6

Recall

x - 0.2 = 0

6 - 0.2 = 5.8

Therefore, Mike has 5.8 nickels for the quarter

. One car traveled 210 miles and drove 20 mph hour faster than a second car drove 150 miles. If the cars were traveling for the
inn [45]

Answer:

The first car was traveling 70 mph, while the second was driving 50 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the cars as a proportion:

\frac{210}{x + 2}  =  \frac{150}{x}

X represents the speed of the second car. By cross multiplying, you get the following equation:

210x = 150(x + 20)

You solve by distributing 150 to get 210x = 150x + 3000.

Solving for x gets you 50.

That means the first car was going at 50 mph. Adding 20, you get 70 as the speed for the second car.

An employer has a staff of eighty actuaries, ten of whom are student actuaries. A student actuary is allowed a total of ten week
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

0.1111

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

Number of staffs in the actuary = 80

Out of the 80, 10 are students.

i.e.

P(student actuary) = 10/80 = 0.125

number of weeks in a year = 52

off time per year = 10/52 = 0.1923

P(at work || student actuary) = (50 -10/52)

= 42/52

= 0.8077

P(non student actuary) = (80 -10)/80

= 70 / 80

= 0.875

For a non-student, they are only eligible to 4 weeks off in a year

i.e.

P(at work | non student) = (52-4)/52

= 48/52

= 0.9231

∴

P(at work) = P(student actuary) × P(at work || student actuary) + P(non student actuary) × P(at work || non studnet actuary)

P(at work) =  (0.125 × 0.8077) + ( 0.875 × 0.9231)

P(at work) = 0.1009625 + 0.8077125

P(at work) = 0.90868

Finally, the P(he is a student) = (P(student actuary) × P(at work || student actuary) ) ÷ P(at work)

P(he is a student) = (0.125 × 0.8077) ÷ 0.90868

P(he is a student) = 0.1009625 ÷ 0.90868

P(he is a student) = 0.1111
