The level of the tide in a harbor changed from 9 1/4 ft to 4 1/2 ft above sea level over a period of 3 1/4 hr

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The answer is " $\bold{- \frac{19}{13} \ / hour}$ "

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

Calculating the difference of $9 \frac{1}{4}\ and \ 4 \frac{1}{2}$ dividing the value by $3 \frac{1}{4}$

$\to 4 \frac{1}{2} - 9 \frac{1}{4}\\\\ \to \frac{9}{2} - \frac{37}{4}\\\\ \to \frac{18-37}{4} \\\\ \to -\frac{19}{4}\\\\\to -\frac{19}{4} \div \frac{13}{4}= -\frac{19}{4} \times \frac{4}{13} = -\frac{19}{13}\\$

Scott and Letitia are brother and sister. After dinner, they have to do the dishes, with one washing and the other drying. They

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The probability that Scott will wash is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the events be: P = Purple and G = Green

$P = 2$

$G = 3$

Required

The probability of Scott washing the dishes

If Scott washes the dishes, then it means he picks two spoons of the same color handle.

So, we have to calculate the probability of picking the same handle. i.e.

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

This gives:

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = P(G_1) * P(G_2)$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{n(G)}{Total} * \frac{n(G)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{3-1}{5- 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{2}{4}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{10}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = P(P_1) * P(P_2)$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{n(P)}{Total} * \frac{n(P)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{2-1}{5- 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{1}{4}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{1}{10}$

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

So, we have:

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

$P(Same) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{3+1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{4}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{2}{5}$

If I have 14 neutrons and 11 electrons, what is my mass number?

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

A : 25

Step-by-step explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. The atomic number indicates the number of protons.

The mass number is the sum of the number of neutrons and the number of protons.

mass number=protons+neutrons

As we know from the atomic number, the number of neutrons is 14 and the number of electrons is 11.

mass number = 14 + 11
