Mathematics

spayn [35]4 years ago
3 0

Let us say that:

x = age of Melanie

y = age of Bill = 5

 

We are given that:

x = 2 y + 2

 

Solving for x by substituting the value of y:

x = 2 * 5 + 2

x = 10 + 2

x = 12

 

<span>So Melanie is 12 years old.</span>

On a 4 1 2 hour trip, Leslie drove 2 3 of the time. For how many hours did Leslie drive?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

She drove 3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Leslie drove 2/3 of the 4 1/2 hours trip.  To determine how long she drove, multiply these numbers together.

2/3 * 4 1/2

We need to change the second number to an improper fraction

4 1/2 = (2*4 +1)/2 = 9/2


2/3 * 9/2 = 9/3 = 3


She drove 3 hours

divide the number 60 into 2 parts so that if one part is divided by 6 and the other part is divided by 8 the sum of the answer w
konstantin123 [22]
If we divide  60 into say hmmm two integers, and those integers are say "a" and "b", then  a + b = 60, therefore, a = 60 - b.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{one part is divided by 6}}{\cfrac{a}{6}}~~+~~\stackrel{\textit{the other part is divided by 8}}{\cfrac{b}{8}}~~=~~9&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{60-b}{6}~~+~~\cfrac{b}{8}=9\impliedby &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;\textit{let's multiply both sides by}\\&#10;\textit{the LCD of 24}&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;24\left( \cfrac{60-b}{6}~~+~~\cfrac{b}{8} \right)=24(9)\implies 240-4b+3b=216&#10;\\\\\\&#10;-b=-24\implies b=\cfrac{-24}{-1}\implies b=24

what's the first integer?  well, a = 60 - b.

You are considering two investment opportunities. For investment A there is a 25% chance that you lose $20,000, a 50% chance tha
scoray [572]
The answer is investment B.

Solution:
For investment A - the expected value of the investment is 
($20,000) * 25% = ($5,000)
$80,000 * 25% = <u>$20,000</u>
                             $15,000

For investment B - the expected value of the investment is 
($50,000) * 30% = ($15,000)
$180,000 * 20% = <u>$36,000
</u>                              $21,000
<u>
</u>So you can gain more by $6,000 if you choose investment B.<u>
