Answer:

  • 3/8 bucket

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 1/4 bucket of nuts fills 2/3 of the barrel

PART A

<u>To find the amount of nuts that fills entire basket we can put this as:</u>

  • 1/4 bucket → 2/3 barrel
  • x bucket → 1 barrel

<u>Use cross-multiplication to find the value of x:</u>

  • x×2/3 = 1×1/4
  • x = 1/4 ÷ 2/3
  • x = 1/4×3/2
  • x = 3/8 bucket

PART B

  • Using the bucket to barrel ratio to solve the problem. Having the number of required buckets as x and considering full barrel as 1 helps to find the value of x.

Two streets bounding your triangular lot make an angle of 74∘. The lengths of the two sides of the lot on these streets are 126
ycow [4]

Answer: a) Yes, there is enough fance

b) 58.1° and 47.9°

c) The city will not approve, because 1/3 of the area is just 2220.5ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

a) using law of cosines: x is the side we do not know.

x² = 126² + 110² - 2.126.110.cos74°

x² = 20335.3

x = 142.6 ft

So 150 > 142.6, there is enough fance

b) using law of sine:

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinα/126 = sinβ/110

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinα/126

0.006741 = sinα/126

sinα = 0.849

α = sin⁻¹(0.849)

α = 58.1°

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinβ/110

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinβ/110

0.006741 = sinβ/110

sinβ = 0.741

β = sin⁻¹(0.741)

β = 47.9°

Checking: 74+58.1+47.9 = 180° ok

c) Using Heron A² = p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)

p = a+b+c/2

p=126+110+142.6/2

p=189.3

A² = 189.3(189.3-126)(189.3-110)(189.3-142.6)

A = 6661.5 ft²

1/3 A = 2220.5

So 2300 >  2220.5. The area you want to build is bigger than the area available.

The city will not approve

Whilst shopping, the probability that Caroline buys fruit is 0.4. The probability that Caroline independently buys a CD is 0.2.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

probability that Caroline buy both CD and  fruit = 0.52

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that the probability of Caroline buys a fruit P = 0.4

So probability of Caroline does not buy the fruit = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Probability Caroline buys a CD P = 0.2

So probability of Caroline does not buy the CD = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

So probability that Caroline does not buy either buy CD or fruit = 0.8×0.6=0.48

So probability that Caroline buy both CD and  fruit =1-0.48 = 0.52
