To start off with, the probability to draw the short straw is 1/9 and each time someone picks the long straw the denominator (the 9) decreases by one which means that the odds of someone picking it get higher.

Answer:

4.113 × 10⁴ pounds per acre = 41,130 pounds per acre to the nearest pounds per acre

Step-by-step explanation:

9.46 × 10⁻¹ pounds of potatoes were produced for every 2.3 × 10⁻⁵ acre harvested. The average pounds of potatoes harvested per acre would be pounds of potatoes/acres harvested =  9.46 × 10⁻¹ pounds/2.3 × 10⁻⁵ acre = 4.113 × 10 ⁻¹⁻⁻⁵ = 4.113 × 10⁵⁻¹ = 4.113 × 10⁴ pounds per acre = 41,130 pounds per acre to the nearest pounds per acre.

Solve by substitution
storchak [24]
4x - 2y = 14
y = 1/2x - 1

4x - 2(1/2x - 1) = 14
4x - x +2 = 14
3x + 2 - 2 = 14 - 2
3x = 12
3x / 3 = 12/3
x = 4


2x = y -10
2x + 7 = 2y

y - 10 + 7 = 2y
y -y -10 + 7 = 2y - y
-3 = y


8x - 1/3 y = 0
12x + 3 = y

8x - 1/3y = 0
8x -1/3( 12x + 3) = 0
8x - 4x - 3 = 0
4x -3 + 3 = 0 + 3
4x / 4 = 3/4
x = 3/4
