Answer:

The easiest way to figure this is to find P(no girls in 5 births) = (1/2)^5 = 1/32 -------------- The P(at least one girl in 5 births) = 1 - 1/32 = 31/32

A triangle has sides of lengths 13, 21, and 24. is it a right triangle? explain
mel-nik [20]
<span>No, it doesn't. To find out if it's a right angled triangle, we use Pythagorean triple. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the opposite and adjacent sides. Obviously, the longest side, which is our hypotenuse is 24. So we want to find out whether the square of our hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides i. e 13 and 21. 24^ 2 = 576 ; 13^2 = 169 ; 21^2 = 441; So is 576 = 169 + 441. An emphatic No: hence the triangle isn't right angled since it doesn't satisfy pythagorean triple.. A^2 is not equal to B^2 + C^2 where a is the hypotenuse and b and c the opposite and adjacent sides.</span>

Jason wanted to buy postcards for his cousin. The price was 2 cards for $1. He had some change in his pocket. What combination o
Zina [86]

Answer:

2 dimes, 1 nickel and 3 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of 2 postcards is $1. Any combination of coins that adds to $1 will work here. Remember, a penny is worth 0.01, a nickel is worth 0.05, a dime is worth 0.10, and a quarter is worth 0.25.

Adding 2 dimes, 1 nickel, and 3 quarters would be 2(0.10)+1(0.05)+3(0.25)=1.

Hi there!

First, let's create an equation for the table: m = 2n + 40. Using this equation, we can find the values of x, y, and z.

WORK:
x = 2(4) + 40
x = 8 + 40
x = 48
y = 2(5) + 40
y = 10 + 40
y = 50
z = 2(6) + 40
z = 12 + 40
z = 52

Next, using the equation, we know that the initial investment would be 40, since that is the y-intercept of the equation. To express M in terms of N, that would be our equation m = 2n + 40. To find 10 years, we'll plug in 10 for n.

WORK:
m = 2(10) + 40
m = 20 + 40
m = 60 after 10 years

To figure out when his investment would double, we'll need to use 80 (double his initial investment of 40) in place of m.

WORK:
80 = 2n + 40
40 = 2n
n = 20 years


Hope this helps!! :)

A piece of work can be completed by 45 men in 90 days if only 30 men are available, how many days will it take to complete the s
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

  135 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Often, we measure work in man·days. This piece of work requires ...

  (45 man)·(90 days) = 4050 man·days

When there are only 30 men, the number of days required can be found by dividing this work by the number of men:

  4050 man·days/(30 man) = 135 days

_____

Another approach is to realize the time is inversely proportional to the number of men. If the number of men is 30/45 = 2/3 the original, then the time will be 3/2 the original, or ...

  (3/2)·90 days = 135 days.
