Answer: 12\ \text{min}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes 20 min and 30 min for  a person and his friend to paint a wall individually  i.e.

In 1 min they cover \frac{1}{20} part and \frac{1}{30} part of wall respectively.

If the work together, 1 minute work is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3+2}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{60}

Time required will be reciprocal of it

\Rightarrow \dfrac{60}{5}=12\ \text{min}

Michelle draws a card from a standard deck of 52 cards. She replaces the card and draws a second card. What is the probability t
erma4kov [3.2K]
To draw a heart, one would be choosing 1 card of 13 possible hearts, and 0 from the remaining 39 non-hearts. With respect to the entire deck, one would be choosing 1 card from 52 total cards. So the probability of drawing a heart is

\dfrac{\dbinom{13}1\cdot\dbinom{39}0}{\dbinom{52}1}=\dfrac{13\cdot1}{52}=\dfrac14

When Michelle replaces the card, the deck returns the normal, so the probability of drawing any card from a given suit is the same, \dfrac14. In other words, drawing a spade is independent of having drawn the heart first.

So the probability of drawing a heart, replacing it, then drawing a spade is \dfrac14\cdot\dfrac14=\dfrac1{16}.

Jill sold half of her comic books and then bought sixteen more. She now has 36. With how many did she begin?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

\frac{1}{2}x + 16 = 36

40 comic books

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the Jill comic books.

Given:

Jill sold half of her comic books and then bought sixteen more. She now has 36.

\frac{1}{2}\ (Jill\ books) + 16\ more\ books = 36

\frac{1}{2}\ (x) + 16 = 36

\frac{1}{2}x + 16 = 36

Therefore the algebraic equation of the given statement.

\frac{1}{2}x + 16 = 36--------(1)

Now we solve above equation for x.

Subtract by 16 both side of the equation 1.

\frac{1}{2}x + 16 -16 = 36 -16

\frac{1}{2}x = 20

Multiply by 2 both side of the above equation.

2\times \frac{1}{2}x =2\times 20

x = 40

Therefore, Jill had 40 comic books.
