Answer:
C) 24 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the number of adults and C be the number of children.
If a ticket costs $8 per adult, we can express this as 8A
If a ticket costs $5 per child, we can express this as 5C
Combining the two expressions, we can write 8A+5C=272 as our first equation since the total amount of money collected is $272.
Our second equation would be A+C=40 since there are 40 people.
Now, we can take the second equation and write it as C=40-A so we can substitute the value of C into the first equation as 40-A so we only have to deal with one variable, the amount of adults that went to the theater.
The first equation now becomes 8A+5(40-A)=272 and is much easier to solve:
8A+5(40-A)=272
8A+200-5A=272
3A+200=272
3A=72
A=24
Therefore, there are 24 adults
Answer:
0.09375 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, it is given that Samuel has 3/4 tons of mulch i.e. 0.75 tons of mulch.
Again it is given that Samuel has to spread equally this amount of mulch in 8 square yards of the plot.
Since the mulch is spread uniformly, then we can say that in each square yard of the plot (0.75/8) = 0.09375 tons of mulch is been spread.
Therefore, 0.09375 tons of mulch will be spread in each square yard. (Answer)
Answer:
The probability that a part was manufactured on machine A is 0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
It is given that Half of a set of parts are manufactured by machine A and half by machine B.
P(A)=0.5
Let d represents the probability that part is defective.
Ten percent of all the parts are defective.
P(d) = 0.10
Six percent of the parts manufactured on machine A are defective.
P(d|A)=0.06
Now we need to find the probability that a part was manufactured on machine A, and given that the part is defective
:
Hence, the probability that a part was manufactured on machine A is 0.3
I believe they are called opposites.
