Answer:

  • Book -$20/11 and pencil - $17/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the set price of pencil be p and the set price of book be b

<u>Then we have equations:</u>

  • 2p + 6b = 14
  • 4p + 1b = 8

<u>Simplify the first equation:</u>

  • p + 3b = 7

<u>And substitute p in the second equation: p = 7 - 3b</u>

  • 4(7 - 3b) + b = 8
  • 28 - 12b + b = 8
  • 11b = 20
  • b = 20/11

<u>And finding value of p:</u>

  • p = 7 - 3(20/11) = 1/11(77 - 60) = 17/11

A number cube is labeled 1 through 6. What is the probability of NOT<br> rolling a 2?
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

each of the 6 number has a 1/6 chance of being rolled

 1       2       3      4      5       6

1/6     1/6    1/6    1/6    1/6    1/6

Every time the cube is rolled  there is a 6/6 chance of any number comes up

1/6  +   1/6  +  1/6 +   1/6 +   1/6  +  1/6   = 6/6     or  1  

What is the probability of NOT rolling a 2? Any other number

 1        2       3        4        5         6

1/6  +   0  +  1/6 +   1/6  +  1/6 +   1/6   =   5/6    or    0.8333

Max has a science test on Thursday. On Monday he studied 2/9 of the material. On Tuesday he studied 1/4 of the remaining materia
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Fraction he has review =  17/36

Fraction he have to study = 19/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Monday studied = 2/9

Tuesday = 1/4

Fraction he has review = ?

Fraction he has left = ?

Process

As the denominator is 9, consider the whole is 9.

Then:    Fraction left on Monday = 9/9 - 2/9

                                                      = 7 / 9

Fraction left on Tuesday = 7/9 - 1/4

                                         = (28 - 9) / 36

                                        = 19 / 36

Fraction he has review =  17/36

Fraction he have to study = 19/36
