Suppose that 10 fair coins are tossed. Find the numbers of ways of obtaining exactly 1 heads. Round the answer to the nearest wh
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total number of coins tossed = 10

Possible outcomes to toss a coin = Head or tail

Number of possible outcomes = 2^{10}=1024

Number of ways of obtaining exactly 1 heads = {10}C_1=\dfrac{10!}{1!9!}     [using combinations ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} ]

=10

Hence, the numbers of ways of obtaining exactly 1 heads= 10

A cleaning company charges x dollars per hour to clean floors and y dollars per hour to clean the rest of a house.
saul85 [17]
The answer is B. (15,18)

Solution:

First, let's set the variables first.

X = dollars per hour to clean the floor
Y = dollars per hour to clean the rest of the house

For the first statement, "<span>2 hours to clean floors and 3 hours to clean the rest of a house, the total charge is $84"
We can put it into an equation.
         2X + 3Y = 84       </span>⇒    equation 1

For the first statement, "<span>1 hour to clean floors and 4 hours to clean the rest of a house, the total charge is $87'
         X + 4Y = 87         </span>⇒    equation 2

Multiply first equation 2 by 2 to make the coefficient of both equations 1 and 2 the same.

Using elimination method in solving for x and y,

 
  (equation 1)              2X + 3Y = 84
  
 (equation 2)            2(X + 4Y) = 87   
                                    2X + 8Y = 174  
⇒ equation 3

Next, subtract equation 3 from equation 1.
            2X + 3Y = 84
      -   (2X + 8Y = 174)
        -------------------------
                  - 5Y = -90
                      Y = 18

Find X when Y = 18
@ equation 1  :    2X + 3Y = 84
                            2X + 3(18) = 84
                            2X + 54 = 84
                            2X = 84 - 54
                            2X = 30
                             X = 15
   
The answer is in ordered pairs of cleaning the floors and to clean the rest of the house. So, in the form (X,Y).

2 tenths is equal to____ fifths
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
To solve this, it is easiest to set up a proportion, letting x represent the number that we don't know.

2/10 = x/5

Now, we can use cross products to simplify this proportion.  Cross products sets the products of the numerator and denominator of separate fractions equal to one another.  It results in the equation:

(5)(2) = (10)(x)

Let's multiply out these numbers to further simplify the equation.

10 = 10x 

Finally, we have to divide both sides by 10, to get our variable x alone

x = 1

Therefore, 2 tenths is equal to 1 fifth.
