Answer:

$\frac{7}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all paper clip sizes together:

$100 + 250 + 150 = 500$

They want the probability of either a small or medium being chosen, so you add both paper clips sizes together.

$100 + 250 = 350$

Now put the number of small and medium paper clips together over the total number of paper clips to find the probability.

Can divide 350 and 500 by 50, which simplifies it down to 7/10.

$\frac{350}{500} = \frac{7}{10}$

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y= -3x + 1 and passes through (2,3)?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+2\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ k:y=_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2.\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\============================\\\\\text{We have}\ y=-3x+1\to m_1=-3.\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-3}=\dfrac{1}{3}.\\\\\text{The equation of the searched line:}\ y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through }(2,\ 3).$

$\text{Put the coordinates of the point to the equation.}\ x=2,\ y=3:\\\\3=\dfrac{1}{3}(2)+b\\\\3=\dfrac{2}{3}+b\qquad\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\b=2\dfrac{1}{3}$

You collect a total of $75 in donations from three people. The three donations are in the ratio 4 : 4 : 7.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

<span>Each smaller donation was for $20 The largest donation was $15 greater than the smaller donation. First, determine the size of each donation. Since they are in a ratio of 4:4:7, it's easiest to add the ratios together (4+4+7) = 15. Then divide the total donation by that sum (75/15) = 5. Finally, multiply 5 by each of the ratios. 5 * 4 = 20, 5 * 4 = 20, and 5 * 7 = 35 So the 2 smaller donations were $20 each, and the largest donation was for $35. The largest donation was $35 - $20 = $15 larger than one of the smaller donations.</span>
