First, let's make an equation out of the first sentence in the problem statement. When four of each computers are used, they can finish a task in 11 minutes together. The question is, how fast is the rate of each computer? We let that rate be x which is in units of hours per unit computer. So, the first equation would be:

4x = 11
Solving for x,
x = 2.75 minutes

That means that each of the four computers has an individual rate of 2.75 minutes. Now, for the succeeding sentence, we replace two of the computers with a much faster time. That means it would take a shorter time by 20%. The new time would then be:

New time = 2.75 ( 1 - 0.2) = 2.2 minutes

Therefore, the total amount of time for the task to be done by 2 original and 2 new computers is

Total time = 2(2.75) + 2(2.2)
Total time = 9.9 minutes

Can someone please do this for me?

Answer:

x= 105

y= 40

Step-by-step explanation:

3y=4y-40 because they are alternate interior

Solve for y.

y=40

4y-40=x+15 because they are vertical angles.

Substitute 40 in for y.

4(40)-40=x+15

Solve.

x=105

Your current schedule only lets you take two 1-credit courses every six months. You need 12 credits to get the degree you want.
lianna [129]
So,

Since you can only take two one-credit courses every six months, you can earn 2 credits every six months, and 4 credits in one year.  Multiplying that by 3, you get 12 credits in 3 years.

It will take 3 years to get the degree.

John runs a computer software store. Yesterday he counted 123 people who walked by the store, 56 of whom came into the store. Of
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a) There is a 45.53% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

b) There is a 41.07% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

c) There is a 18.70% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

d) There is a 58.93% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Step-by-step explanation:

This a probability problem.

The probability formula is given by:

P = \frac{D}{T}

In which P is the probability, D is the number of desired outcomes and T is the number of total outcomes.

The problem states that:

123 people walked by the store.

56 people came into the store.

23 bought something in the store.

(a) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

123 people walked by the store and 56 entered the store, so T = 123, D = 56.

So

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{56}{123} = 0.4553

There is a 45.53% probability that a person who walks by the store will enter the store.

(b) Estimate the probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

56 people came into the store and 23 bought something, so T = 56, D = 23.

So

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{23}{56} = 0.4107

There is a 41.07% probability that a person who walks into the store will buy something.

(c) Estimate the probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

123 people walked by the store and 23 came in and bought something, so T = 123, D = 23.

So

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{23}{123} = 0.1870

There is a 18.70% probability that a person who walks by the store will come in and buy something.

(d) Estimate the probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.

Of the 56 people whom came into the store, 23 bought something. This means that 56-23 = 33 of them did not buy anything. So:

D = 33, T = 56

P = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{33}{56} = 0.5893

There is a 58.93% probability that a person who comes into the store will buy nothing.
