Answer:

Sand in small bag = 2x = 2(7.5) = 15 kg

Sand in medium bag = 3x = 3(7.5) = 22.5 kg

Sand in a large bag = 7x = 7(7.5) = 52.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Total weight = 90 kg

As 90 kg has been distributed in 3 bags in the ratio 2:3:7

Let the small bag contains = 2x

Let the medium bag contains = 3x

Let the big bag contains = 7x

so the equation becomes

2x+3x+7x = 90

12x = 90

x = 90/12

x = 7.5

Thus,

Sand in small bag = 2x = 2(7.5) = 15 kg

Sand in medium bag = 3x = 3(7.5) = 22.5 kg

Sand in a large bag = 7x = 7(7.5) = 52.5 kg

<u>SOLUTION CHECK</u>

15+22.5+52.5=90 kg

1 is 110. 2 is 65 and 3 is 35. You have to double 55 for the first question. For 2 you divide 2 from 130. And the third one shows the angle.

For the members of a neighborhood meeting group, the probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook is 42%, the pr

Monica [59]

Answer: Probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook or likes to sew = 58%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to cook=P(C) = 42%

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to sew =P(S)= 23%

Probability of a randomly selecting a member who likes to both cook and sew

$P(C\cap S)=7\%$

As we know the "Probability rules " :

$P(C\cup S)=P(C)+P(S)-P(S\cap C)\\\\P(C\cup S)=42+23-7\\\\P(C\cup S)=58$

So, Probability of randomly selecting a member who likes to cook or likes to sew = 58%

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$- \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{p^{8} }{q^{3} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the quotient of the following division, $\frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6} }{- 20p^{-12} q^{-3}}$ .

Now, $\frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6} }{- 20p^{-12} q^{-3}}$

= $- \frac{3}{4} p^{[- 4 - (- 12)]} q^{[-6 - (- 3)]}$ {Since all the terms in the expression are in product form, so we can treat them separately}

{Since we know the property of exponent as $\frac{a^{b} }{a^{c} } = a^{(b - c)}$ }

= $- \frac{3}{4} p^{8} q^{-3}$

= $- \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{p^{8} }{q^{3} }$ (Answer)

{Since we know, $a^{-b} = \frac{1}{a^{b} }$ }
