Answer:
The probability of getting a black pen from the bag is 13.5%.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the percentage probability that a black pen will be obtained from the bag, the following calculation must be performed:
12 + 20 + 5 = 37
37 = 100%
5 = X
(5 x 100) / 37 = X
500/37 = X
13.5 = X
Thus, it is determined that the totality of pens is 100%, and through a cross multiplication the percentage of the 5 black pens with respect to the total of pens is obtained.
Therefore, the probability of getting a black pen from the bag is 13.5%.
Its fairly straightforward. Since the bottom equation only has one unknown,x, because y=1.3, you can plug y in and solve for x. Once you find the value of x, you then have the value for two variables, x and y, and again have one unknown coefficient a. To solve for the coefficient you just plug in your y value (1.3) and your x value (which can be rounded to 0.42). Using a little bit of algebra, you can then solve for a which should be a=2.108. I am not sure if your teacher wants you to solve it this way but you could also use the elimination method or substitution method that you would of learned when discussing system of equations. But no matter which way you do it, the math follows the rules. Hope this helps. I’d suggest you solve it yourself to double check my work.

Answer:
2. The answer should be the last one.
3. The answer should be the first three.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Question 2</u>
KE = (1/2)mv²
2KE = mv²
v² = 2KE/m
v = ±√(2KE/m)
Therefore the answer should be the last one.
<u>Question 3</u>
b^(1/2) * b^(5/2)
Remember that the <u><em>product rule</em></u> states that b^x * b^y = b^(x+y)
So this means b^(1/2) * b^(5/2) = b^(1/2+5/2) = b^(6/2) = b^3
Also remember that the <u><em>power rule</em></u> states that √b = b^(1/2)
so this means b^(6/2) can also be written as (√b)^6
Therefore the answer should be the first three.
<em>If you want to double check all of your answers, just replace b with a number (for example, 2), and plug all of the choices into the calculator. Just </em><u><em>make sure</em></u><em> you are </em><u><em>very careful</em></u><em> when typing into the calculator.</em>
Answer:
187.5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a proportion
= 
3000/16 = 187.5, so multiply 1 by 187.5 to find the gallons used in a year
This gets you 187.5 gallons used in a year
