Answer:

8gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

If Joe drinks 10 liters of water every week, then;

10liters = 1 week

After 3weeks;

x litres =3 weeks

Divide both expressions

10/x = 1/3

x = 3*10

x = 30litres

This means he consumes 30litres in 3 weeks

If there are approximately 19 liters in 5 gallons, the;

19litres = 5gallons

To determine the number of gallons consumed in 3 weeks;

30litres = y

Divide both expressions

19/30 = 5/y

Cross multiply

19 * y = 30*5

19y = 150

y = 150/19

y = 7.89

y ≈ 8 (to nearest whole number)

Hence Joe drinks 8gallons of water in 3weeks

What are two differences between factors and multiples
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Factor is a number that can be multiplied with a particular number to obtain another number. Conversely, multiples are the product, which is reached after multiplying the number by an integer. The number of factors of a particular number is limited, but the number of multiples of a given number is endless.

An ordinary fair die is a cube with the numbers one through six on the sides represented by painted that. Imagine that such a di
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

ok so what i think your trying to ask is if we roll two dice that the sum will be more then 6

Two dice

Assuming that the dice are unbiased or not " loaded".

Each side has the same probability, is 1/6 =0.16667, to turn up when rolled, if the die (D) is unbiased. The probability of a side turning up on D1 when 2 dice ( D1,D2) are rolled, is independent of the side turning up in D2. So this is an independent event.

How many ways can one get a sum total of 6 if D1 &D2 are rolled at the same time?

These are the possibilities

Case 1.

D1 =1 & D2=5

Or

D1= 5 & D2=1

Case 2.

D1 =2 & D2=4

Or

D1= 4 & D2= 2

Case 3. D1=3, D2=3

P3 =0.027778

Let's say, P 1 the probability for case 1 and P2 for case 2. There are no other cases.

The final probability P and is the sum total P = P1 + P2 + P3 the probability law of mutually exclusive events.

P1= 0.02778+ 0.02778 =0.055558

P2= 0.02778+0.02778 =0.055558

Same way,

P3=0.027778, when there is only one way to get the sum 6.

So, P = 0.138894

Based on truncating at the sixth decimal place.

A visual representation with two unbiased dice and the possible cases would also give the same result and is a short cut method. I like to derive from the basics.

Hope This Helps!!!

They will be 170 pounds by the end of the year. 5% of 100 would be 5 so 5% of 200 is half of 5 which is 2.5. 2.5 times 12 will get you 30. 200-30 is 170
