Answer:
If P= price of the hardcover book, then
We have to spend $25-P, if P<$25; or $0 if P>= $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets call P the price of the hardcover book, in $. We can suppose that P is less than 25, otherwise we shoudnt spend on anything else to get the free shipping. If X is the amount that we have to spend to reach 25, then we get that P+X = 25. If P is known, we can obtain X by substracting P in both sides, therefore
X = 25-P
We conclude that if the price of the book P is less than 25, then we have to spend $25-P. Otherwise we have to spend 0.
"31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces"
Call the pieces a,b,c
a + b + c = 31
"second piece is twice as long as the first piece"
b = 2a
"third piece is one inch more than seven times the length of the first piece"
c = 1 + 7a
Ok, we have our equations, let's substitute the second and third into the first.
a + 2a + 1 + 7a = 31
10a + 1 = 31
10a = 30
a = 30/10 = 3
b = 2a = 6
c = 1 + 7a = 22
Check: 3 + 6 + 22 = 31, good
Answer: 3 inches, 6 inches, 22 inches
The unit rate of road construction is 2 miles per day.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
In
days
miles road is constructed.
To find
The rate of road constructed per day
Method
We will apply unitary method to solve it.
Now,
In
days
miles road is constructed.
In 1 day the road will be constructed =
÷
miles
= 2 miles
Answer:
what is P(A), the probability that the first student is a boy? 3/5
what is P(B), the probability that the second student is a girl? 3/4
what is P(A and B), the probability that the first student is a boy and the second student is a girl? 1/2
No, évents A and B are not independent events
Step-by-step explanation:
9 out of 12 = 9/12 which can be simplified to 3/4. So the team wins 3/4 of its games. 3/4 of 64 = 64 divided by 4 = 16. 16 x 3 = 48.
