Answer:

She can cut 180 (9 - inch) pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

A dressmaker needs to cut 9-inch pieces of ribbon from rolls of ribbon that are 9 feet in length. How many 9-inch pieces can the dressmaker cut from 15 of these rolls of ribbon? Before you try that problem, answer the question below.

Step 1

How many inches of ribbon does the dressmaker have, in total?

1 roll of ribbon = 9 feet

15 rolls of ribbon = x feet

x = 15 roll × 9 feet

x = 135 feet

Converting from Feet to inches

1 foot = 12 inches

135 feet = x inches

Cross Multiply

x = 135 × 12 inches

x = 1620 inches

The dress maker cuts 9 inches each

How many 9-inch pieces can the dressmaker cut from 15 of these rolls of ribbon?

15 rolls of ribbon = 1620 inches of ribbons

Hence: = 1620 inches/9

= 180 pieces

She can cut 180 (9 - inch) pieces

Jamal has $15.00 to spend at the concession stand. He buys nachos for $7.50, and he wants to purchase some sour straws for $1.50
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

x = 5

$15.00 is the total amount of money Jamal has right? To find the remaining amount of money Jamal has subtract 15 - 7.5 (price of nachos) = 7.5 (remaining amount of money Jamal has.) Now for part 2, since the sour straws are $1.50 each you just have to multiply X to get close as close to the remaining amount of money as possible.

1.50× 5 (amount of sour straws) is equal to 7.50 (price of 5 sour straws).

To check your answer let's add the price of nachos (7.50) and 5 sour straws (7.50) which is 15.00 the total amount Jamal brought with him.

Let me know if you have any other questions :)

Dalgliesh the detective fancies himself a shrewd judge of human nature. In careful tests it has been discovered that he is right
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The probability that Jones is lying is 6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will list out 2 different cases when the outcome is a lie

1.probability that Jones tells lies is = 0.6 and probability that dalgiliesh analyses it correctly is 0.8

So the probability that dagliesh correctly analyses that he is telling lies is 0.8*0.6=0.48

2.Probability that Jones tells truth is 0.4 and if dagliesh analyses it incorrectly (which has a probability of 0.2) the outcome(as analysed by dagiliesh) is a lie

So probability that dagliesh analyses Jones truth as a lie is 0.2*.0.4=0.08

Total probability of outcome being a lie is 0.48+0.08=0.56

But we need the probability of Jones actually saying a lie which is nothing but 0.48/0.56= 6/7
