There are two choices for each child: overweight (o) or underweight (u). So if the first child is o the next can be o or u. If the first is u the second can be o or u. This gives four possibilities. Here the first child is the letter noted first and the second is the one listed second:
OO
OU
UO
UU
There are 4 outcomes and if each is equally likely then the probability of each is 1/4. Thus the probability of UU is 1/4
The probability of one underweight and one over weight is 1/2 because in two of the outcomes listed above there is one O and one U (namely OU and UO). Since there are 4 outcomes the probability is 2/4 = 1/2
Answer:
85%
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percentage we will have to start by dividing the amount he brings home by the gross.
156.4 / 184 = 0.85
By doing this, we get the answer in decimal form, which is not what we want.
Multiply it by 100 to convert it into a percent.
0.85 x 100 = 85.
Now, we know that he brings home 85% of his gross.
Answer:
15x^2 - 12x^3
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangular block has 3 parts that play into its volume. length, width and height. The question gives us length and width in the form of x and 3x, so height is what's missing.
It gives us a bit more information saying the sum of its edges is 20. We also have to ask how many lengths, widths and heights are there. That may be a bit hard to understand, but is you are looking at a block I could ask how many edges are vertical, just going up and down. These would be the heights. There are 4 total, and this goes the same for length and width, so 4*length + 4*width and 4*height = 20.
Taking that and plugging in x for length and 3x for width (or you could do it the other way around, it doesn't matter, you get:
4*x + 4*3x + 4*height = 20
4x + 12x + 4h = 20
16x + 4h = 20
4h = 20 - 16x
h = 5 - 4x
Now we have h in terms of x, which lets us easily find the volume just knowing x. To find the volume of a rectangular block you just multiply the length, width and height.
x*3x*(5-4x)
3x^2(5-4x)
15x^2 - 12x^3
Question doesn't give a specific value for x at all so you should be done there. Any number you plug in for x should get you the right answer
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard equation for a circle with center h,k and radius r
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
so for this one center = (1,2) radius = 4
A) x/6=9
Subtract 6 from both sides, x=3
B) x/-4=-3
Add 4 to both sides, x=1
C) x/-5=7
Add 5 to both sides, x=12
