Answer:

468

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for infinite sum of geometric series is;

S_∞ = a1/(1 - r)

Where;

a1 is first term

r is common ratio

We are given;

a1 = 156

r = ⅔

Thus;

S_∞ = 156/(1 - ⅔)

S_∞ = 156/(⅓)

S_∞ = 468

Your sock drawer has two white socks, four brown socks, and two black socks. You randomly pick a sock and put it on your left fo

zmey [24]

Answer:

The probability of this occurring is 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, here is a probability question.

From the question, we can identify the following;

Total number of socks = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 socks

Since we are not given the order in which the socks was worn, we can assume any order.

Let’s say the right leg socks was worn first.

From the question, the socks on the right leg is a brown one.

So now let’s calculate the probability of selecting a brown socks out of the mix

That would be ;

number of brown socks/ total number of socks = 4/8 = 1/2

Now, for the left foot, we are having white sock here.

Kindly recall that since we already have a sock on the right foot, we have 7 socks left to pick from.

Now we need the probability of picking a white sock from the total 7. That would be ; 2/7

So the probability of both action occurring is simply the product of both probabilities and that is ;

1/2 * 2/7 = 1/7

Abby counts 12 large boxes and 18 small boxes of pencils in the supply cabinet. Each large box contains 144 pencils . Each small

BigorU [14]

Answer:

2,160 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Large boxes = 12

Small boxes = 18

Each large box contains 144 pencils . Each small box contains 24 pencils

Total pencil in large boxes = Total large boxes × number of pencils per box

= 12 × 144

= 1,728 pencils

Total pencil in small boxes = Total small boxes × number of pencils per box

= 18 × 24

= 432 pencils

Estimate the total number of of pencils

Total number of pencils = total pencils in large boxes + total pencil in small boxes

= 1,728 pencils + 432 pencils

= 2,160 pencils

It is better to have an underestimate than an overestimate so that you won't disappoint your buyers when they request for a quantity of supply. If it is underestimated; you can meet demand, if it is overestimated; you can't meet demand

When will the equation p(b)=520(0.88)^b have a value less than 100?

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The given equation will have value less than 100 whenever the value of b is greater than 12.89

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given equation, p(b) = 520 × $0.88^{b}$ to have a value less than 100 we can establish inequality as:

p(b) < 100

or, 520 × $0.88^{b}$ < 100

or, $\frac{520}{520}$ × $0.88^{b}$ < $\frac{100}{520}$

or, $0.88^{b}$ < $\frac{1}{5.2}$

or, ㏒ ( $0.88^{b}$ ) < ㏒ ( $\frac{1}{5.2}$ )

or, b× ㏒ 0.88 < ㏒ ( $\frac{1}{5.2}$ )

or, $\frac{log (\frac{1}{5.2}) }{log (0.88)}$ < b

or, 12.89 < b

Hence for the equation to have value less than 100, b must be greater than 12.89.
