Answer:

64 cherries

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

There are 280 pieces of fruit in a fruit salad

There are twice as many raspberries as blueberries,

three times as many grapes as cherries,

and four times as many cherries as raspberries

We need to find out the number of cherries in the fruit salad

So,

Let us assume the blueberries be x

So, the raspberries be 2x

Cherries be 8x

And, grapes be 24x

Now

x + 2x + 24x + 8x = 280

35x = 280

x = 8

hence, the No of cherries in the salad

= 8 x

= 8(8)

= 64 cherries

The manager of hockey team says that the probability that team win the next match is 0.5 and the probability it will lose is 0.2
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The team draws with a probability of 1 = (0.5 + 0.2) = 0.3

If the team does not win then it loses or draws.

Loosing = 0.2

Draw := 0.3

P(not win) = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

======================

Not lose means wins or draws.

P(not lose) = 0.5 + 0.3 = 0.8

======================

Not Draw means wins or loses

P(not draw) = 0.5 + 0.2 = 0.7

Of course all of these could be done more directly.

P(not win)= (1 - win) = 1- 0.5 = 0.5

P(not lose) =  ( 1 - lose) = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

P(not draw) = (1 - 0.3) = 0.7

Expand and simplify (x+5)(x-2)
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

{x}^{2}  + 3x  - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 5)(x - 2)

utilise the Foil method to expand brackets:

F - mulply the first terms (x and x)

O - multiply the outside terms ( x and -2)

I - multiply the inside terms (5 and x)

L - multiply the last terms (5 and -2)

Then add them as following:

{x}^{2}   - 2x + 5x - 10

Then combine like terms:

{x}^{2}  + 3x - 10
