Answer:

320 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is decently easy after u understand the concept

So... This is what the question gave

Jupitar : earth

8 : 3

In other words, if u weigh 8 pound on Jupitar, u would weigh 3 pounds on earth

Therefore now they say on earth, the person weighs 120 pound, so let's just put in this value

Jupitar : earth

8 : 3

? : 120

Now its called ratio bcuz the increase at the same pace

So now look at the earth part, u got to find out how did 3 become 120, so just divide them

120/3 = 40 , so 3 x 40 = 120

So if they multiplied the right ( earth) by 40, u do the exact same on the left ( Jupitar)

8 x 40 = 320

Thats your answer my friend

How to evaluate the expression

noname [10]

$[(-72) \div (-2)]^3 - (-7) \times (-10)$

$= [36]^3 - (-7) \times (-10)$

$=46656 - (-7) \times (-10)$

$=46656 - (70)$

$=46586$

-------------------------------------

$2^3 - 9 \times (2 - 4)$

$= 8 - 9 \times (-2)$

$= 8 - (-18)$

$= 8 + 18$

$= 26$

A box contains 3 coins. One coin has 2 heads and the other two are fair. A coin is chosen at random from the box and flipped. If

Blababa [14]

Answer: Our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coins = 3

Number of coin has 2 heads = 1

Number of fair coins = 2

Probability of getting one of the coin among 3 = $\dfrac{1}{3}$

So, Probability of getting head from fair coin = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Probability of getting head from baised coin = 1

Using "Bayes theorem" we will find the probability that it is the two headed coin is given by

$\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}{\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

No, the answer is not $\dfrac{1}{3}$
