Answer:  1 in 18

This is the same as writing the fraction 1/18

==============================================================

Explanation:

Since she has 36 marbles total, and the probability of picking green is 1 in 2, this means (1/2)*36 = 18 marbles are green.

Then she also has (1/3)*36 = 12 red marbles and (1/9)*36 = 4 blue marbles.

So far, that accounts for 18+12+4 = 34 marbles in all. That leaves 36-4 = 2 marbles left over that must be black, as it's the only color left.

From that, the probability of choosing a black marble is 2/36 = 1/18.

There's a 1 in 18 chance of Maddy picking a black marble.

1/18 = 0.0556 = 5.56% approximately

Lisa wants to use her calculator to square a two-digit positive integer, but she accidentally enters the tens digit incorrectly.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Correct two digit number= 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x= tens digit (wrong one)

and y= zeroes digit

and z= tens digit (right one)

Now according to the statement,

(10x+y)² -  (10z+y)² = 2340

Simplifying this we get

(x-z)(5x+y+5z)= 117= 1 * 3 * 3 * 13

So it could either be

x-z=1 or x-z=3

If we take the x-z=1

then 5x+y+5z=117

which is not possible as maximum value we can get from this is 99.

This leaves us with x-z=3

so 5x+y+5z= 39

Put x=3+z

We get,

y+10z= 24

Now as y and z both are single digits so the only possible numbers to fit these are y=4 and z=2.

Put z=2 in x=3+z , we get x=5

So the numbers become 10x+y= 54

and 10z+y= 24

Their sum is 54+24=78

Check

54²-24²= 2340 so it is correct.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

3.4 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

25 x $7.75 = $193.75

$250 - $193.75 = $21.25

$21.25/$6.25 = 3.4 hours

You must work 3.4 hours at the second job.
