Answer: 0.1630

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of quarters = 10

Number of dimes = 6

Number of nickels = 8

Total number = 10+6+8 = 24

Probability of choosing the first quarter will be: = Number of quarters/Total number of money

= 10/24 = 5/12

Since a quarter has been selected, the total number will reduce to 23 the next time a quarter is choosing and the number of quarters will now be 9. Therefore, the probability of choosing the second quarter will be: = 9/23

Therefore, the probability that two quarters are chosen random from the jar will be:

= 5/12 × 9/23

= 45/276

= 0.1630

the table shows the number of minutes Tim has for lunch and study hall. he calculates that these two periods account for 18% of
EleoNora [17]

Tim spends 500 minutes at the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Time for lunch = 45 minutes

Time for study hall = 45 minutes

Total = 45+45 = 90 minutes

This represents 18% of the total minutes Tim spend at school.

Let,

x be the total minutes Tim spend at school.

18% of x = 90 minutes

\frac{18}{100}x=90\\\\0.18x=90

Dividing both sides by 0.18

\frac{0.18x}{0.18}=\frac{90}{0.18}\\x=500

Tim spends 500 minutes at the school.

player A led a baseball league in runs batted in for the 2006 regular season. player B. who came in second player to A, had 13 f
Alla [95]
A= player A runs batted in
b= player B runs batted in= a-13

250= a + b
substitute b= a-13 for b

250= a + (a-13)
combine like terms
250= 2a -13
add 13 to both sides
263= 2a
divide both sides by 2
131.5= a

Substitute a= 131.5 into equation
250= a + b
250= 131.5 + b
subtract 131.5 from both sides
118.5= b

Hope this helps! :)
