Answer:

111 / 190

Step-by-step explanation:

Total biscuits = 20

Plain, P = 12

Chocolate, C = 5

Currant, K = 3

Assume without replacement :

Probability that biscuit are of the same type :

P(plain) :

12 / 20 * 11 / 19 = 132 / 380

P(chocolate) :

5/ 20 * 4 / 19 = 20/ 380

P(currant) :

3/20 * 2 /19 = 6 / 380

Therefore,

Probability that biscuit is of the same type :

P(plain) + P(chocolate) + P(currant)

132/380 + 20/380 + 6/380

158 / 380 = 79 / 190

Therefore, probability that biscuit aren't of the same type :

1 - P(biscuit is of same type)

1 - 79/190

(190 - 79) / 190

111 / 190

Which of the following statements are true of solving equations?
katrin2010 [14]

we will check each options

option-A:

For solving any equations , we always isolate variables on anyone side

For exp: x+7=1

so, this is TRUE

option-B:

For solving system of equations

For exp:

x-y=1

x+y=3

If we use addition , we could easily solve for x and y

so, this is TRUE

option-C:

We always solve problems using conventional method

we do not guess

so, this is  FALSE

option-D:

We often reverse order of operation

For exp:

(x-2)^2-3=0

so, this is TRUE

option-E:

For linear equations , we always get one solution , infinite solutions or no solutions

so, this is FALSE

What is the solution to the equation?
AleksandrR [38]

Solution of the equation: x=6\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that we have to solve in this problem is:

13\frac{3}{4}+x=7\frac{1}{4}

The first step to do is to rewrite the mixed fractions as improper fractions. We have:

13\frac{3}{4}=\frac{13\cdot 4+3}{4}=\frac{52+3}{4}=\frac{55}{4}

And

7\frac{1}{4}=\frac{7\cdot 4+1}{4}=\frac{29}{4}

So the equation becomes

\frac{29}{4}+x=\frac{55}{4}

Now we multiply by 4 each term on both sides, and we get

29+4x=55

Now we subtract 29 from both sides,

4x=55-29=26

And finally, we divide both sides by 4:

x=\frac{26}{4}=\frac{13}{2}=6\frac{1}{2}

What is the value of a?
Elan Coil [88]
Note that the interior angles must add up to 180 degrees:  50+62+m<C = 180.
Then 112 + m<C = 180, so that m<C =68 degrees.

Use the Law of Sines to find the value of a, as follows:

sin 50 deg      sin 62 deg
-------------- = ----------------
       a                  31 cm
                                                          31sin 50        31(0.766)
Then 31sin 50 = a*sin 62, and a = --------------- = ---------------- = 26.9 cm
                                                          sin 62              0.883

a =
