Multiplication was invented to reduce the work involved in repeated addition.
... 88 + 88 + 88 + 88 = 4×88 = 352
352 passengers are carried <em>to</em> the island each day.
_____
Some questions must be answered before we can give a definite answer.
1. If the same person rides twice, are they counted twice?
2. Are passengers on the return trips (<em>from</em> the island) counted?
3. If return trip passengers are counted, is the ferry full on those trips?
4. Does every passenger to the island return the same day?
5. Does any passenger go to the island more than once per day?
11.
(87+91+86+x)/4=90.
x=96.
13.
50×y > 130.
the lowest number could be 3, because 50×2=120, which is less than 130.
Elena should put a point where the two circles intersect and draw line segments connecting that point to points A and B to finish her triangle.
Answer:
$30.50
Step-by-step explanation:
b = bagels
c = cream cheese
<u>Given</u>
b = 30
c = 2
<u>Work:</u>
0.85b+2.5c
0.85(30) + 2.5(2)
25.5 + 5
30.5
Answer:
P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.
If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.
In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change
Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80
Hence I throw is independent of II throw.
When A and B are independent,then we have
P(A/B) = P(A)
Hence answer is
P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)
