Before the first straw is drawn, there are three short straws and
straws in all. Thus, the probability of drawing a short straw first is
.
After a short straw is drawn, there are two short straws and twelve total straws, a probability of
.
Thus, the probability of both of these events occurring is
.
Equation: 300+35x=1700; where x represents the amount of teams participating in the tournament
Answer: 40 teams competed in the lacrosse tournament
How to solve-
300+35x=1700
300-300+35x=1700-300
35x=1400
35/35x=1400/35
x=40
Answer:
0.5289 to the nearest thousandth is 0.529.
Step-by-step explanation: If a number is less than 5, round down, but if a number is 5 or more, round up. The digit after the thousandths place is the digit we should look at to answer the question and it is 9, so we round up from 0.528 or 0.529. So, the answer is 0.529.
Answer:
y= (-3x +14.50) / 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the 8y
Subtract 3x from both sides
8y = -3x + 14.50
Then, isolate the left to only y
y= (-3x +14.50) / 8
