1 answer:

4 0

You have 10 rolls and each is 6 feet so therefore you have 60 feet of ribbon. Convert that to inches you need to multiply by 12 so 60 x 12 = 720 inches of ribbon.
If the dress maker needs 18 inch pieces you divide to 720 by 18.
720 divided by 18 will give you 40 pieces.

Final answer:

The dressmaker will get 40, 18-inch pieces of ribbon from 10, 6 foot rolls.

Given:
angle of 6 : i'm assuming this is 6 degrees.
distance of 5 miles.

tan(6) = rise/5 mi
rise = 5 mi * tan(6)
rise = 5 mi * 0.10510423526
rise = 0.52552117632

rise = 0.53 miles.

A bag contains eight yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and five red marbles. Two marbles are chosen from

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The expression would give the probability that one marble is yellow and the other marble is red is,

$P(Y\cdot R\ And\ R\cdot Y)=P(Y)P(R)+P(R)P(Y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag contains eight yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and five red marbles. So in total there are 25 marbles.

Hence,

Probability of getting yellow ball = $P(Y)=\dfrac{8}{25}$

Probability of getting red ball = $P(R)=\dfrac{5}{25}$

Probability that one marble is yellow and the other marble is red is,

$P(Y\cdot R\ And\ R\cdot Y)=P(Y)P(R)+P(R)P(Y)=\dfrac{8}{25}\cdot \dfrac{5}{25}+\dfrac{5}{25}\cdot \dfrac{8}{25}=0.128$

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The answer is 8.88; You look at the number that comes after the second number (the second place after the decimal) and if that number is 5 or above then you round the second number up. (Sorry if it doesn't make sense, but that's the best I can explain it).

How many six-digit odd numbers are possible if the left digit cannot be zero?

melisa1 [442]

We are asked for the number of <span>six-digit odd numbers that can be formed. the left-most digit should not be zero because it make the number -five digit already. An odd number ends only in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Using counting, the 6th digit can only have 5 numbers, the 5th, 4th, 3rd, and 2nd can have, 10 numbers. The first number can only have 9 numbers. Hence the total number is 450,000</span>

4(2x + 2) > 100 -12

4(2x + 2) > 88

2x + 2 > 22

2x> 22-2

2x > 20

x > 10
