<h3>Answer:</h3>

2/15

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

There are 8C2 = 28 ways to choose 2 dimes from the 8 dimes in Annie's purse. There are 21C2 = 210 ways to choose 2 coins from the 21 coins in Annie's purse.

Of the 210 ways to choose 2 coins, 28 of the choices will result in 2 dimes being chosen. The probability of choosing 2 dimes is 28/210 = 2/15.

_____

<em>Comment on nCk</em>

The number of ways to choose k objects from n, when order does not matter, is ...

... n!/(k!(n -k)!)

For the computations above, we have ...

... 8C2 = 8·7/(2·1) = 28

... 21C2 = 21·20/(2·1) = 210

Michael reads 12 pages of a book in 18 minutes, 8 pages in 12 minutes,and 20 pages in 30 minutes. Is this a proportional relatio
maria [59]

Answer:

  • y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Reading rate is y pages per x minutes and proportional relationship formula is:</u>

  • y = kx

<u>The coefficient is:</u>

  • k = y/x

<u>Let's verify if the given numbers fit into the same relationship:</u>

  • 12/18 = 2/3
  • 8/12 = 2/3
  • 20/30 = 2/3

We confirm all same and it means k = 2/3

<u>Required equation is:</u>

  • y = 2/3x

This represents that Michael reads 2 pages per 3 minutes and for x minutes he reads 2/3x pages

An open rectangular box with square base has a volume of 256 cubic inches. determine the equation for the volume and surface are
Serjik [45]
Let
b-----------> the length side of the square box
h------------> the height of the box
SA---------> surface area of the box

we know that
[volume of the box]=b²*h
volume=256 in³
b²*h=256-------> h=256/b²-----> equation 1

surface area of the box=area of the base+perimeter of base*height

area of the base=b²
perimeter of the base=4*b

surface area=b²+(4*b)*h------> SA=b²+4*b*h-----> equation 2

substitute equation 1 in equation 2
SA=b²+4*b*[256/b²]-----> SA=b²+1024/b-----> SA=(b³+1024)/b

the answer is

the formula of the volume of the box is  V=b²*h-----> 256=b²*h

the formula of the surface area of the box are
SA=b²+4*b*h
SA=(b³+1024)/b
