Answer:

105 women

Step-by-step explanation:

8 to 5, sooo \/

8x + 5x = 273

13x = 273

x=273/13

x=21

8*21 = 168 men

5*21 = 105 women

(to check we can add 168 and 105 together and make sure we get 273. We do!)

user100 [1]
Breaking apart means that you just take the tens from each number, and the ones from each number, then add them up.


The tens from your numbers are:
30 from 34
40 from 45

The ones from your numbers are:
4 from 34
5 from 45

Now, you have to add up the tens and ones separately.
30 + 40 = 70
4 + 5 = 9

Finally, you add up those 2 numbers that you got- 70 and 9

The answer: Stephen read for 79 minutes total.

Does anyone know this??

Answer:

x = 38, y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since AB = BC  then the triangle is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, that is

∠ DAB = ∠ DCB = 52°

Subtract the sum of the base angle from 180° for ∠ ABC

∠ ABC = 180° - (52 + 52)° = 180° - 104° = 76°

Note that ∠ ABD = ∠ CBD, thus

x = 76 ÷ 2 = 38

BD bisects the side AC, thus DC = AD = 4

Thus y = 4

dsp73

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you and a friend play a game where you each toss a balanced coin.

If the upper faces on the coins are both tails, you win $1;

if the faces are both heads, you win $2;

if the coins do not match (one shows a head, the other a tail), you lose $1 (win (−$1)).

Let Y be the amount won

Then Y can take values as 1,2 and -1

P(Y=1) =P(TT) = 0.25\\P(Y=2) = P(HH) = 0.25\\P(Y=-1) = P(HT)+P(TH) = 0.5

The above is the probability distribution for Y.
