Y = kx
when y= 12, x=3
12 = 3k
k = 12/3
k = 4

y = 4x
when x= 15
y = 4(15)
y = 60

Kendra has a painting canvas that is 20 inches wide by 37 inches high. She painted a red rose, which covered 50% of the canvas.

uysha [10]

The total area is:
A = (20) * (37)
A = 740 in ^ 2
We can make the following rule of three:
740in ^ 2 -----> 100%
x --------------> 50%
Clearing x we have:
x = (50/100) * (740)
x = 370 in ^ 2
Answer:
the area of the canvas which was covered by the red rose was:
x = 370 in ^ 2

Please help me with this.

The correct answer is C.) (y|y > -4).

In order to find the range, we look for the possible numbers that y can be. In this case, you'll see the lowest the number goes is -4 and it continues up forever. Therefore, the answer is that y has to be greater than -4.

Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the land has oil.

Licemer1 [7]

So,

We are trying to find the compound probability of there BEING oil and the test predicting NO oil.

The percent chance of there actually being oil is 45%. We can convert this into fraction form and simplify it.

45% --> $\frac{45}{100}$

$\frac{45}{100}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{3*3*5}{2*2*5*5}$

$\frac{3*3*5}{2*2*5*5}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{3*3}{2*2*5}$

$\frac{3*3}{2*2*5}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{9}{20}$

That is the simplified fraction form.

The kit has an 80% accuracy rate. Since we are assuming that the land has oil, we need the probability that the kit predicts no oil.

The probability that the kit detects no oil will be the chance that the kit is not accurate, which is 20% (100 - 80 = 20). We can also convert this into fraction form and simplify it.

20% --> $\frac{20}{100}$

$\frac{20}{100}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{2}{10}$

$\frac{2}{10}--\ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{5}$

That is the probability of the kit not being accurate (not predicting any oil).

To find the compound probability of there being oil and the kit not predicting any oil, we simply multiply both fractions together.

$\frac{9}{20}*\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{9}{20*5}$

$\frac{9}{100}$

So the probability of there BEING oil and the kit predicting NO oil is 9 in 100 chances.
