Using PADMAS really works
The answer -35.5 Hope this helps you
B = block p = park
2b + p = 10 min 2 runs around the block takes 10 minutes
2b + 3p = 22 min 2 runs around the block plus 3 runs around the park takes 22 minutes
To solve, I will use substitution. First, I will divide the first equation by 2 to get b by itself and subtract p from both sides to get b by itself. Then, substitute 5 - 1/2p in for b in the second equation because they have equal values. Then, subtract 10 from both sides to eliminate it. Divide by 2 to both sides to get 'p' by itself.
2b + p = 10 min ---------→b + 1/2p = 5 ----------→ b = 5 - 1/2p
2(5 - 1/2p) + 3p = 22 ---------→ 10 -p + 3p = 22 --------→ 10 + 2p = 22
10 + 3p = 22 ----------→ 2p = 12
2p = 12 -------------→ p = 6
It takes 6 minutes to jog around the park
Hope this helps!
Answer:
P(A∪B) = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Red Garments = 1 red shirt + 1 red hat + 1 red pairs of pants
Total Red Garments = 3
Green Garments = 1 green shirt + 1 green scarf + 1 green pairs of pants
Total Green Garments = 3
The total number of garments = Total Red Garments + Total Green Garments:
3 + 3 = 6
Let A be the event that he selects a green garment
P(A) = Number of required outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes
P(A) = 3/6
Let B be the event that he chooses a scarf
P(B) = 1/6
The objective here is to determine P(A or B) = P(A∪B)
Using the probability set notation theory:
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
P(A∩B) = Probability that a green pair of pant is chosen = P(A) - P(B)
= 3/6-1/6
= 2/6
P(A∪B) = 1/2 + 1/6 - 2/6
P(A∪B) = 2/6
P(A∪B) = 1/3
Since 1/4 is equal to 0.25 than you would do 5,400 times 0.25 and get the answer of 13,500.0. So the race car weighs 13,500 pounds.
