Answer:

let the number be

$x$

2x/6= 42

2x/2 = 252/2

$x = 126.$

therefore the number is 126

Answer:

1512

Step-by-step explanation:

42 x 6 = 252

252 x 6 = 1512

Check:

1512 ÷ 6 = 252

252 ÷ 6 = 42

Hope this Helps!

N=1/2MP? Since n would be the midpoint you have to divide the segment into two.

A conical container can hold 120π cubic centimeters of water. The diameter of the base of the container is 12 centimeters.

Tanzania [10]

Answer: The height of the container is 10 centimeters. If its diameter and height were both doubled, the container's capacity would be 8 times its original capacity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone can be calculated with this formula:

$V=\frac{\pi r^2h}{3}$

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height.

We know that the radius is half the diameter. Then:

$r=\frac{12cm}{2}=6cm$

We know the volume and the radius of the conical container, then we can find "h":

$120\pi cm^3=\frac{\pi (6cm)^2h}{3}\\\\(3)(120\pi cm^3)=\pi (6cm)^2h\\\\h=\frac{3(120\pi cm^3)}{\pi (6cm)^2}\\\\h=10cm$

The diameter and height doubled are:

$d=12cm*2=24cm\\h=10cm*2=20cm$

Now the radius is:

$r=\frac{24cm}{2}=12cm$

And the container capacity is

$V=\frac{\pi (12cm)^2(20cm)}{3}=960\pi cm^3$

Then, to compare the capacities, we can divide this new capacity by the original:

$\frac{960\pi cm^3}{120\pi cm^3}=8$

Therefore, the container's capacity would be 8 times its original capacity.

At a certain gas station, 40% of the customers use regular gas (A1), 35% use plus gas (A2), and 25% use premium (A3). Of those c

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

a.)

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = P(B | A₂) × P(A₂)

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = 0.40 × 0.35

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = 0.14

b.)

P(B) = P( A₁ ∩ B ) + P( A₂ ∩ B ) + P( A₃ ∩ B )

P(B) = 0.08 + 0.14 + 0.125

P(B) = 0.345

c.)

For regular gas:

P(A₁ | B) = P( A₁ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₁ | B) = 0.08 / 0.345

P(A₁ | B) = 0.232

For plus gas:

P(A₂ | B) = P( A₂ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₂ | B) = 0.14 / 0.345

P(A₂ | B) = 0.406

For premium gas:

P(A₃ | B) = P( A₃ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₃ | B) = 0.125 / 0.345

P(A₃ | B) = 0.362

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information

40% of the customers use regular gas (A2)

P(A₁) = 0.40

35% use plus gas (A2)

P(A₂) = 0.35

25% use premium (A3)

P(A₃) = 0.25

Of those customers using regular gas, only 20% fill their tanks (event B).

P(B | A₁) = 0.20

Of those customers using plus, 40% fill their tanks

P(B | A₂) = 0.40

Whereas of those using premium, 50% fill their tanks.

P(B | A₃) = 0.5

a) What is the probability that the next customer will request plus gas and fill their tank?

We are asked to find P(A₂ ∩ B) = ?

Recall that Multiplicative law of probability is given by

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = P(B | A₂) × P(A₂)

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = 0.40 × 0.35

P( A₂ ∩ B ) = 0.14

b) What is the probability that the next customer fills the tank?

We are asked to find P(B) = ?

P(B) = P( A₁ ∩ B ) + P( A₂ ∩ B ) + P( A₃ ∩ B )

P( A₂ ∩ B ) is already calculated, we need to calculate

P( A₁ ∩ B ) and P( A₃ ∩ B )

So,

P( A₁ ∩ B ) = P(B | A₁) × P(A₁)

P( A₁ ∩ B ) = 0.20 × 0.40

P( A₁ ∩ B ) = 0.08

P( A₃ ∩ B ) = P(B | A₃) × P(A₃)

P( A₃ ∩ B ) = 0.50 × 0.25

P( A₃ ∩ B ) = 0.125

Finally,

P(B) = P( A₁ ∩ B ) + P( A₂ ∩ B ) + P( A₃ ∩ B )

P(B) = 0.08 + 0.14 + 0.125

P(B) = 0.345

c) If the next customer fills the tank, what is the probability that the regular gas is requested? Plus? Premium

For regular gas:

P(A₁ | B) = P( A₁ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₁ | B) = 0.08 / 0.345

P(A₁ | B) = 0.232

For plus gas:

P(A₂ | B) = P( A₂ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₂ | B) = 0.14 / 0.345

P(A₂ | B) = 0.406

For premium gas:

P(A₃ | B) = P( A₃ ∩ B ) / P(B)

P(A₃ | B) = 0.125 / 0.345

P(A₃ | B) = 0.362
