After getting 5 new rocks, George gave half of his rock collection to Susan. If George gave Susan 36 rocks, which equation could

be used to determine how many rocks George started with?
One-half x = 36 + 5
One-half (x minus 5) = 36
One-half (x + 5) = 36
One-half x + 5 = 36

Answer:

1/2 (x+5) = 36  should be the equation that is used to determine how many rocks George started with.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the number of rocks George had.

As George gave, after getting 5 new rocks, half of his rock collection to Susan which is = 36 rocks

It means after getting 5 new rocks George's total rocks = 72

Given that he gave half collection to Susan = 36

Thus, before inducting 5 new rocks Georg's total rocks were = 67

Thus,

1/2 (x+5) = 36 should be the correct equation.

solving

1/2 (x+5) = 36

Multiplying both sides by 2

1/2 (x+5) × 2 = 36 × 2

x+5 = 72

x = 72 - 5

x = 67

Thus, before getting 5 new rocks, the number of rocks George had = 67

Therefore,

1/2 (x+5) = 36  should be the equation that is used to determine how many rocks George started with.

Ms. McClain conducted an experiment
joja [24]

Answer:  1

Step-by-step explanation:

Experimental probability is the actual result you get from an experement.

Theoretical probability is the change that you will get that result.

(for example: flipping a coin, the Theoretical probability is 50/50 but after testing the Experimental probability might be 47/53)

therefore,

1/6 is the Theoretical probability because you are using a six-sided number cube.

for the Theoretical probability and the Experimental probability to be the same, the fraction of the roll must equal 1/6.

1/6 equals 8/48.

therefore, since the numbers 1 and 6 were both rolled 8 times out of 48 they are consistant with the Theoretical probability of 1/6.

6 is not one of the answer choices listed so 1 must be your answer.
