The statement 'of ' represents multiplication.

thus, baby = 1/40 * 120 = 3 tons.

1 ton is 2000 pounds.

Hence, 3 is 6000 pounds.

$\frac{1}{40} *(120*2000)
$
$\frac{1}{40} *240000$
$\frac{1}{40} =0.025$
0.025*240000=6000lbs

What is the probability that a randomly drawn marble from bag is green. Given that it is not red?

tatiyna

Answer:

The probability is 0.2, or 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the ratio of the number of relevant outcomes and the number of all possible outcomes. If we know that the marble drawn is not red, the number of possible outcomes N is

N = (number of blue marbles) + (number of green marbles) = 25

and the number of relevant outcomes (marble being green) is n:

n = (number of green marbles) = 5

So, the probability is

P = n / N = 5 / 25 = 1 / 5 or 0.2, or 20%

A farmer has a field in the shape of a triangle. The farmer has asked the manufacturing class at your school to build a metal fe

Finger [1]

Answer:

Fencing required = 1586 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statements can be thought of a triangle $\triangle ABC$ as shown in the diagram attached.

A be the 1st vertex, B be the 2nd vertex and C be the 3rd vertex.

Distance between 1st and 2nd vertex, AB = 435 m

Distance between 2nd and 3rd vertex, AC = 656 m

$\angle A =49^\circ$

To find:

Fencing required for the triangular field.

Solution:

Here, we know two sides of a triangle and the angle between them.

To find the fencing or perimeter of the triangle, we need the third side.

Let us use Cosine Rule to find the third side.

Formula for cosine rule:

$cos A = \dfrac{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}{2bc}$

Where

a is the side opposite to $\angle A$

b is the side opposite to $\angle B$

c is the side opposite to $\angle C$

$\Rightarrow cos 49^\circ = \dfrac{656^{2}+435^{2}-BC^{2}}{2\times 435\times 656}\\\Rightarrow BC^2 = 430336+189225-2 (435)(656)cos49^\circ\\\Rightarrow BC^2 = 430336+189225-570720\times cos49^\circ\\\Rightarrow BC^2 =619561-570720\times cos49^\circ\\\Rightarrow BC \approx 495\ m$
