60%

Step-by-step explanation:

= 51/85 × 100%

= 51/17 × 20%

= 3 × 20%

= 60%

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

n(B U S) = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

<u>Probability</u>:-

P(E) = \frac{number of elements events in E}{total number of elementary events in the random experiment}

P(E) = \frac{m}{n}

Let 'B' be the event of having twelve year old brother

Let 'S' be the event of having twelve year old sister

given data  P(BUS) = 0.25

given total survey  n(survey) = 300

we have to find the value is n(BUS) =?

we will use probability definition we get, P( BUS) =\frac{n(BUS)}{n(survey)}

substitute given values, we will get solution

0.25 = \frac{n(BUS)}{300}

after cross multiplication , we get

n(BUS) = 0.25 X 300

n(BUS) = 75

At a constant rate of flow, it takes 20 minutes to fill a swimming pool if a large hose is used and 30 minutes if a small hose i
Paha777 [63]

Answer: 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a standard Work Formula question (2 or more 'entities' that work on a task together). When there are just 2 entities and there are no 'twists' to the question, we can use the Work Formula to get to the correct answer.

Work = (A)(B)/(A+B) where A and B are the individual times needed to complete the task.

We're told that two hoses take 20 minutes and 30 minutes, respectively, to fill a pool. We're asked how long it takes the two hoses, working together, to fill the pool.

(20)(30)/(20+30) = 600/50 = 12 minutes to fill the pool.
