Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2/9
Step-by-step explanation:
28 marbles in all
"Half of the marbles are red."
28/2 = 14 red
"Half of the non-red marbles are white..."
14/2 = 7 white
"...and the rest are blue."
25 -14 -7 = 7 blue
"Todd chose a <u>white marble</u> at random... " -from the bag that has...
14 red 7 white 7 blue
"... and <u>kept it</u>."- so now the marbles left in the jar are...
14 red 6 white 7 blue
P (white) = Number of white marbles/ Total number of marbles = 6/27 = 2/9
Answer: Crayfish, 25 s
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The length of race is 60 cm
Flicker gets a 10 cm head-start
Cray fish covers 6 cm in 5 s i.e. its speed is
Flicker covers 4 cm in 5 s, its speed is
Time taken by Cray fish to cover the race is
Time taken by flicker to cover race with 10 cm head start
Time taken by crayfish is less. Hence, crayfish wins the race
When they both covers the same distance, they tied momentarily i.e.
After 25 s, they tied the race.
Answer:
<h2>The easiest to solve for is x in the first equation</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the system of equation, x + 4 y = 14. and 3 x + 2 y = 12, to solve for x, we can use the elimination method of solving simultaneous equation. We need to get y first.
x + 4 y = 14............ 1 * 3
3 x + 2 y = 12 ............ 2 * 1
Lets eliminate x first. Multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract from equation 2.
3x + 12 y = 42.
3 x + 2 y = 12
Taking the diffrence;
12-2y =42 - 12
10y = 30
y = 3
From equation 1, x = 14-4y
x = 14-4(3)
x = 14-12
x = 2
It can be seen that the easiest way to get the value of x is by using the first equation and we are able to do the substitute easily <u>because the variable x has no coefficient in equation 1 compare to equation 2 </u>as such it will be easier to make the substitute for x in the first equation.
