Answer:

63 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Quantity of meat= 18 pounds

TIme taken= 2 hours

Rate= Quantity/Time taken

Rate= 18/2

Rate= 9 pounds per hour

Now time= 7 hours

Rate= 9 pounds per hour

Quantity= Rate*Time

Quantity= 9*7

Quantity= 63 pounds

Box 1 contains 1000 lightbulbs of which 10% are defective. Box 2 contains 2000 lightbulbs of which 5% are defective. (a) Suppose

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

a) There is a 66.7% chance that you were given box 1

b) There is a 80% chance that you were given box 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we need to note that there is a 1/10 chance of getting a defective bulb with box 1 and a 1/20 chance in box 2.

a) To find the answer to this, find the probability of getting a defective bulb for each box. Since there is only one bulb pulled in this example, we just use the base numbers given.

Box 1 = 1/10

Box 2 = 1/2

From this we can see that Box 1 is twice as likely that you get a defective bulb. As a result, the percentage chance would be 2/3 or 66.7%

b) For this answer, we need to square each of the probabilities in order to get the probability of getting a defective one twice.

Box 1 = 1/10^2 = 1/100

Box 2 = 1/20^2 = 1/400

As a result, Box 1 is four times more likely. This means that it would be a 4/5 chance and have a probability of 80%

Find the greatest common factor of these three expressions. 5v2 , 14v4 , and 35

a_sh-v [17]

Question

Find the greatest common factor of these three expressions. 5v2 , 14v4 , and 35

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that 5v2 is 5², and 14v4 is 14^4

5² = 25

14^4 = 38416

35 = 35

The factors of 25 are: 1, 5, 25

The factors of 35 are: 1, 5, 7, 35

The factors of 38416 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 28, 49, 56, 98, 112, 196, 343, 392, 686, 784, 1372, 2401, 2744, 4802, 5488, 9604, 19208, 38416

the greatest common factor is 1

Geometry. Very basic.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

A)10.25 cm ; B)5 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

p=(a+b+c) [p= perimeter ; a,b , and c are the side lengths.]

∴The perimeter of the triangle =(4+2.75+3.5) cm

=10.25 cm

Formula:

A = 1/2 . b .h [A=area ; b= base ; h= height]

∴The area of the triangle = (1/2 . 4 . 2.5) square cm [b=4 ; h=2.5]

=5 square cm
