Answer:

20%/100 = 8 peeps / 40 items in the basket

(40 total items)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total number of items in the basket. The ratio of peeps to the total item is 1/5. Therefore,

1/5 = 8/x

x = 40

40 total items

Find c to complete the perfect trinomial<br><br> x2 + 4x + c
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that is supposed to be x squared. A perfect trinomial is the product of a perfect square, (x times a number) squared. With these trinomials, you can look at them as: ax squared times bx + c. When a is 1, the fastest way to get c to make a perfect square is to divide b by 2. In this case, it's 4/2 = 2. The last step is to square that number. 2 squared = 4.

1. A bag contains the letters of the word “PROBABILITY”.
Mama L [17]

Since "PROBABILITY" has 11 letters in it, then every letter has 1/11 chances of getting picked, so the chances of getting an O tile would be 1/11, same for getting a B tile. But if you were to get both of them consecutively, then the chances would be 1/11 of 1/11 because you have 1/11 of a chance to get and O and then 1/11 of a chance to get a B. So you would be looking for 1/11 of 1/11, which means multiplying the divisor, 11*11=121. Therefore, you should have 1/121 chance of getting an O and B tile.

The two triangles shown are congruent.<br> Find the value of x
shusha [124]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

right triangle ABC

using Pythagoras' identity

BC² = 7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625 ( take square root of both sides )

BC = \sqrt{625} = 25

Since the triangles are congruent then corresponding sides are congruent.

ST = BC , that is

3x - 8 = 25 ( add 8 to both sides )

3x = 33 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 11
