Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

ΔABC and ΔADE are the similar triangles.

Therefore, their corresponding sides will be in the same ratio.

$\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AD}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{AE}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{DE}}$

$\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AD}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{DE}}$

And AB = AD + DB

= 2(AD) [Since, AD = DB]

By substituting these values,

$\frac{\text{2AD}}{\text{AD}}=\frac{\text{34}}{\text{(x-8)}}$

2 = $\frac{34}{x-8}$

x - 8 = $\frac{34}{2}$

x - 8 = 17

x = 17 + 8

x = 25

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

<h2>See the explanation.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

7 persons will show up for sure, hence there is not any kind of probability here.

The other 5 persons have 50% chance to show up.

The flight will be overbooked, if either 4 will come or 5 will come.

From the total 5 persons, 4 can be chosen in $^5C_4 = 5$ ways.

The probability that any four among the 5 will come is $5\times(\frac{50}{100} )^{5} = 5\times(\frac{1}{2} )^{5} = \frac{5}{32}$ .

The probability that all of the 5 passengers will come is $\frac{1}{32}$ .

Hence, the required probability is $\frac{5}{32} + \frac{1}{32} = \frac{6}{32} = \frac{3}{16}$ .

(b)

The probability that there will be exactly 10 passengers on the flight is $^5C_3\times (\frac{1}{2} )^5 = \frac{20}{2} \times\frac{1}{32} = \frac{10}{32} = \frac{5}{16}$ .

The probability that there will be no empty seats in the plane is $\frac{3}{16} + \frac{5}{16} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Hence, probability of having empty seats is $1 - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$ .

Miss Kito’s car holds 18 gallons of gasoline. As she was driving, she noticed that the fuel gauge indicated that she had 1/5 of

jonny [76]

We will see that the cost of filling the tank is $38.88, and at the final of the trip she will have 4 gallons on the tank.

<h3>How much costs to fill the tank?</h3>

a) The car holds 18 gallons, and it has 1/5 of the tank remaining.

Then in the tank there are:

(1/5)*18 = 3.6 gallons.

Then we need 18 gal - 3.6 gal = 14.4 gal

And each gallon costs $2.70, then to fill the tank, Miss Kito needs:

(14.4)*$2.70 = $38.88

b) Now we know that the car travels 26 miles per gallon, and she needs to travel a total distance of 364 miles.

Then she needs:

$\frac{364mi}{26 mi/gal} = 14 gal$

To travel that distance, and the car holds 18 gallons, so at the end of the trip, she will have 4 gallons of gasoline in her car.
