Answer:

84 books were taken to the market.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's turn the word problem into algebra.

We can rewrite 3:4 as 3x:4x since we don't know the actual individual numbers, solely that it is divisible by these numbers.

Next, since we know 3x = 36 because of the question, we can solve for x using the division property of equality and get x=12. Once we have x=12 we can find the number of books the other trader has - 4x - by simply multiplying 12 by 4 to get 48 books. Now all we need to do is find the total number of books that both traders have and to do this all we need to do is add 36 to 48 to get a final answer of 84 books.

True [87]

Use the distributive property and multiply everything in the parentheses by 14.
Leaving you with.. (70 - 3.5 x 350) + 2 / 4 x 1.
Then reduce the parentheses.
Leaving you with.. ( -1155) + 2 / 4 x 1
Then divide 2 by four.
Leaving you with.. (-1155) + .5
Answer.. -1,154.5

A track star runs two races on a certain day. The probability thathe wins the first race is 0.7, the probability that he wins th

NARA [144]

Answer:

a) 80% probability that he wins at least one race.

b) 30% probability that he wins exactly one race.

c) 20% probability that he wins neither race.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this problem building the Venn's diagram of these probabilities.

I am going to say that:

A is the probability that he wins the first race.

B is the probability that he wins the second race.

C is the probability that he does not win any of these races.

We have that:

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

In which a is the probability that he wins the first race but not the second and $A \cap B$ is the probability that he wins both these races.

By the same logic, we have that:

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

The probability that he wins both races is 0.5.

This means that $A \cap B = 0.5$

The probability that he wins the second race is 0.6

This means that $B = 0.6$

$B = b + (A \cap B)$

$0.6 = b + 0.5$

$b = 0.1$

The probability that he wins the first race is 0.7.

This means that $A = 0.6$

$A = a + (A \cap B)$

$0.7 = a + 0.5$

$a = 0.2$

A) he wins at least one race.

This is

$P = a + b + (A \cap B) = 0.2 + 0.1 + 0.5 = 0.8$

There is an 80% probability that he wins at least one race.

B) he wins exactly one race.

This is

$P = a + b = 0.2 + 0.1 = 0.3$

There is a 30% probability that he wins exactly one race.

C) he wins neither race

Either he wins at least one race, or he wins neither. The sum of these probabilities is 100%.

From a), we have that there is an 80% probability that he wins at least one race.

So there is a 100-80 = 20% probability that he wins neither race.
