Answer:

16 mugs

Step-by-step explanation:

Total clay bought = 45 lbs

Clay used for sculpture = 15.8 lbs

Clay left over = 17.68 lbs

Clay used for each mug = 0.72 lbs

Number of mug = x

Total clay bought = Clay used for sculpture + Clay left over + (Clay used for each mug * Number of mug)

45 = 15.8 + 17.68 + (0.72 * x)

45 = 33.48 + 0.72x

45 - 33.48 = 0.72x

11.52 = 0.72x

x = 11.52/0.72

x = 16

Number of mug = x = 16 mugs

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.714 ; 0.556 ; (A1 n A2 n A3) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

P(oil) = 0.35

P(filter) = 0.45

P(oil n filter) = 0.25

1)

P(filter | Oil) = P(oil n filter) / P(oil)

P(filter | Oil) = 0.25 / 0.35 = 0.714

11)

P(Oil | filter) = P(oil n filter) / P(filter)

P(Oil | filter ) = 0.25 / 0.45 = 0.556

Number of red aces = 2

Queen or king = 4 + 4 = 8

Number on card greater than 3 and less than 8 = {4,5,6,7} = 4 card ; for 4 suits = 4 * 4 = 16

Total number of cards in deck = 52

Choosing without replacement :

Hence,

A1 = 2 / 52

A2 = 8 / 51

A3 = 16 / 50

(A1 n A2 n A3) ;this means card common to all three events.

However, (A1 n A2 n A3) = 0 because ;

1.) No red ace card is greater than 3 and less than 8.

11.) An ace card can neither be a king nor a queen

Answer:

C. 272

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know 85% of the students participated last year we can assume the same amount will participate this year so to find the answer you simply do the total number of students (320) multiplied by 85% or .85 to get the best guess of how many students will participate this year.

4) Adult tickets for the evening show at XD Theater are $11 and children's tickets are $Belf the theater seats 250 people, how m
kozerog [31]

Omitted value: The price of children ticket was omitted in the question, so i used $8 to solve. You can input the correct value and solve the same way following the steps.

Answer: 100 adult tickets  must be sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

let  x represent Adults

AND y represent children

Since the theater seats 250 people we have that

x+y = 250..... equation 1

Also price for Adult ticket = $11

and  price children ticket =$8

With total sales at $2,300, we have that

11x + 8y= 2300----- equation 2

Step 2

Making y subject in equation 1

' x+y = 250

y= 250-x

Putting y= 250- x in equation 2

11x + 8(250-x)= 2300

11x +2000-8x= 2300

11x -8x = 2300-2000

3x= 300

x 300/3

x= 100.

To find y

 x+y = 250

100+y=250

y=250-100

y=150

Therefore 100 adult tickets and 150 children tickets must be sold to get a total sales of $2,300

Composition of functions
astra-53 [7]
For example, in the composition of(f g)(x) = f(g(x)), we need to replace each x found in f(x), the outside function, with g(x), the inside function. Step 3: Simplify the answer. Examples – Now let's use the steps shown above to work through some examples. Example 1: If f(x) = –4x + 9 and g(x) = 2x – 7, find(f g)(x).
