X = 2a - b²
x - 2a = b²
√x-2a = b
Just to clarify, all of x-2a is under the square root.
Answer:
x = 12.6 pennies
Step-by-step explanation:
total number of coins = 1 + 2+ 4 + 3 = 10 coins
P(penny) =
P(nickels) =
P(dimes) =
P(quarters) =
hence average value of the coin
x = Penny x P(Penny) + nickel x P(nickel) + dimes x P(dimes) + quarters x P(quarters)
nickels = 5 pennies dimes = 10 ; and quarters = 25 pennies
x = 0.1 + 1 + 4 + 7.5
x = 12.6 pennies
hence, the average pennies for the first draw is equal to x = 12.6 pennies
Answer:
False
Step-by-step explanation:
0.15/10 equals 0.015
Answer:
832
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have one group of 832, and put it into 1 group you get 832
If it takes one person 4 hours to paint a room and another person 12 hours to
paint the same room, working together they could paint the room even quicker, it
turns out they would paint the room in 3 hours together. This can be reasoned by
the following logic, if the first person paints the room in 4 hours, she paints 14 of
the room each hour. If the second person takes 12 hours to paint the room, he
paints 1 of the room each hour. So together, each hour they paint 1 + 1 of the 12 4 12
room. Using a common denominator of 12 gives: 3 + 1 = 4 = 1. This means 12 12 12 3
each hour, working together they complete 13 of the room. If 13 is completed each hour, it follows that it will take 3 hours to complete the entire room.
This pattern is used to solve teamwork problems. If the first person does a job in A, a second person does a job in B, and together they can do a job in T (total). We can use the team work equation.
Teamwork Equation: A1 + B1 = T1
Often these problems will involve fractions. Rather than thinking of the first frac-
tion as A1 , it may be better to think of it as the reciprocal of A’s time.
World View Note: When the Egyptians, who were the first to work with frac- tions, wrote fractions, they were all unit fractions (numerator of one). They only used these type of fractions for about 2000 years! Some believe that this cumber- some style of using fractions was used for so long out of tradition, others believe the Egyptians had a way of thinking about and working with fractions that has been completely lost in history.
