Answer: 125 cans

Pay attention to the word "times". "Times" means to multiply. We don't know how many cans we have right now. If we want to get up to 1000 cans of food. And we need to get 8 'times' the amount we already have, why not do the opposite of multilpication, and divide. So, you divide 1000 by 8. You get 125. Now, you can multilpy 125 by 8 and get 1000.

Hope this helps.

Divide 1000 by 8 which would give you 125. So they have 125 cans and they need to collect 8 times as many, meaning 8 times of what they have which is 125. And 125 times 8 is equal to 1000. YOU'RE WELCOME :D

If we apply the Pythagorean Theorem to the Egyptian knots we can see that 3^2 + 4^2 = 5^23 2 +4 2 =5 2 . Which of the sets of th

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

B) { 51, 149, 140 }

C) { 16, 63, 65 }

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to choose Pythagoras theorem formula

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

now, we can verify each options

option-A:

a=1

b=1

c=1

now, we can verify formula

$1^2=1^2+1^2$

$1=2$

We can see that left side is not equal to right side

so, this is FALSE

option-B

a=51

b=140

c=149

now, we can verify formula

$149^2=51^2+140^2$

$22201=22201$

We can see that left side is equal to right side

so, this is TRUE

option-C

a=16

b=63

c=65

now, we can verify formula

$65^2=16^2+63^2$

$4225=4225$

We can see that left side is equal to right side

so, this is TRUE

option-D:

a=6

b=8

c=11

now, we can verify formula

$11^2=6^2+8^2$

$121=100$

We can see that left side is not equal to right side

so, this is FALSE

Quadrilateral ABCD is similiar to quadrilateral EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD are 60 feet,

babunello [35]

Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Quadrilateral ABCD is similar to Quadrilateral EFGH. This means that the corresponding sides of these two quadrilateral will be in the same proportion.

i.e.

Ratio of two corresponding sides would be the same. We are given longest three sides of ABCD and shortest two sides of EFGH. Let the 4th sides of ABCD i.e. the shortest side be x.

So, the ratio of the shortest sides of two quadrilaterals would be the same as the ratio of second shortest sides.

So,

$x:6=30:12\\\\\frac{x}{6}=\frac{30}{12}\\\\ x=\frac{30}{12} \times 6\\\\ x = 15$

So, the 4th side on quadrilateral ABCD would be 15 feet. None of the options match with the answer.

A traffic light at a certain intersection is green 50% of the time, yellow 10% of the time, and red 40% of the time. A car appro

kati45 [8]

Answer:

$6.4\times 10^{-5} = 0.000064 = 0.0064\%$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that the car encounters a green light on the first day: $50 \% = 0.5$ .

To meet the question's conditions, the car needs to encounter another green light on the second day. Given that the colors of the light on each day are "independent," the chance that there's a green light followed by another green light will be

$(0.5) \times 0.5 = 0.25$ .

Condition is met on the first two days and green light on the third day: $(0.5 \times 0.5) \times 0.5 = 0.125$ .
Condition is met on the first three days and green light on the fourth day: $(0.5 \times 0.5 \times 0.5) \times 0.5$ .

To meet the condition on the fifth day, there needs to be a yellow light. The probability that the condition is met on the first four days and on the fifth day will be $(0.5 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 \times 0.5) \times 0.1 = 0.5^{4} \times 0.1$ .

To meet the condition on the sixth day, all prior days should meet the conditions. Besides, there needs to be a red light on the sixth day. $(0.5^{4} \times 0.1) \times 0.4$

Seventh day: $(0.5^{4} \times 0.1 \times 0.4 ) \times 0.4$
Eighth day: $(0.5^{4} \times 0.1 \times 0.4^2 ) \times 0.4$
Ninth day: $(0.5^{4} \times 0.1 \times 0.4^3 ) \times 0.4$
Tenth day: $(0.5^{4} \times 0.1 \times 0.4^4 ) \times 0.4 = 0.5^{4} \times 0.1 \times 0.4^{5}$

The question asks that the condition be met on all ten days. As a result, the probability of meeting the condition will be equal to the probability on the tenth day: $0.5^{4} \times 0.1 \times 0.4^{5} = 6.4\times 10^{-5} = 0.000064 = 0.0064\%$ .
