Mr. Zelman gave 400 books to his nephew
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, Mr. Zelman wants to give 50% of his comic book collection to his nephew Alex
Mr. Zelman has 800 comic books
Number of books with Zelman = 800
Mr. Zelman wants to give 50% of books to Alex
Number of books given to nephew = 50 % of books of Zelman
Therefore, we have to find 50 % of 800
Thus he gave 400 books to his nephew
The probability that the first one is red is: 4/9
The probability of the second one is blue is: 2/9
I believe the answer is $48 because 6 * 2 is 12 and 12 * 2 is 24 and 24 * 2 is 48, thus 48$. Please feel free to check my work, though.
Problem 13
10p+10q factors to 10(p+q). If we apply the distributive property, we can distribute the 10 to each term inside (p and q) to get
10(p+q) = (10 times p)+(10 times q) = 10*p + 10*q = 10p+10q
so we get the original expression again. Here 10 is the GCF of the two terms.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Plug p = 1 and q = 2 into the factored form
10*(p+q) = 10*(1+2) = 10*(3) = 30
As a check, let's plug those p,q values into the original expression
10*p+10*q = 10*1+10*2 = 10+20 = 30
We get the same output of 30
