Answer:

8x > 9y

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first hen laid 8 eggs a week, the amount of eggs can be represented by 8x.

The second hen laid 9 eggs a week, so it can be represented by 9y.

The first hen laid more eggs than the second hen, so use a greater than inequality.

Put this all together:

8x > 9y represents this relationship

omeli [17]

Answer:

2/27

Explanation:

• Number of green marbles = 2

,

• Number of blue marbles = 4

,

• Number of yellow marbles = 3

Total = 2+4+3 =9

• Probability of choosing a green marble = 2/9

,

• Probability of choosing a yellow marble = 3/9

Therefore, the possibility that the first marble is green and the second is yellow is:

\begin{gathered} =\frac{2}{9}\times\frac{3}{9} \\ =\frac{2}{27} \end{gathered}

Answer:

     \large\boxed{\large\boxed{10/21}}

Explanation:

There are only two mutually exclusive possibilities for each complex electronic system: being <em>defective</em> or being <em>not defective</em>:

  • Number of complex electronic systems: 7
  • Nmber of defective systems: 2
  • Number of not defective systems: 5

<em>Probability </em>that no defective systems are found in the sample is the equal to the probability of selecting them consecutively without replacement and finding each one is not defective:

  • Porbability the first is not defective × probability the second is not defective

  • 5/7 × 4/6 = 20/42 = 10/21

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The land which are used for exhibits are <u>89 acres</u> (approximately).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Village is spread across 240 acres of land. 37%  of land is used for the exhibits.

Now, we have to find acres of land which are used for exhibits.

So, here it is given that land used for exhibits is 37%, and we have to calculate the quantity from the percentage given:

According to question:

37% of 240 acres of land.

\frac{37}{100}\times 240

0.37\times 240

88.80

So, the land used for exhibits are 88.80 acres.

Therefore, the land which are used for exhibits are <u>89 acres </u>(approximately).

3x^{2} +1=28

Step 1 : subtract 1 from both sides

3x^{2} =27

Step 2 : Divide both sides by 3

\frac{\frac{3x^{2} }{3} }{\frac{27}{3} }

x^{2} = 9

Step 3 : Find the square root of 9

\sqrt{9} = 3

x= (-3,3)

remember negative × negative = positive
