Answer:

total number of brown sugar cubes = 3

total number of white sugar cubes = 1

total number of sugar cubes = total no of brown sugar cubes + total no of white sugar cubes = 3 + 1 = 4

probability to select one brown sugar cube = total number of brown sugar cube / total number of sugar cube = 3/ 4

therefore the probability of selecting a brown sugar cube is 3/4 or 0.75

Let's say Bailey takes "b" days to paint it.

and Andrew takes "a" days to paint the same house.

now, Andrew is 6 times faster than Bailey, therefore, if Andrew takes "a" days to do it, Bailey takes then "6a" days, or b = 6a.

now, the year they worked together, they finished it in 7 days.

so, after 1 day then, they have only done 1/7 of the whole work.

and Andrew for one day, has done 1/a of the house, whilst Bailey has done 1/b of the house or 1/(6a).

\bf \stackrel{\textit{Andrew's rate}}{\cfrac{1}{a}}+\stackrel{\textit{Bailey's rate}}{\cfrac{1}{b}}=\stackrel{\textit{1 day of work}}{\cfrac{1}{7}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{6a}=\cfrac{1}{7}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{let's multiply all by }\stackrel{LCD}{42a}\textit{ to toss the}\\
denominators
\end{array}

\bf 42a\left( \cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{6a} \right)=42a\left( \cfrac{1}{7} \right)\implies 42+7=6a\implies \cfrac{49}{6}=a
\\\\\\
\stackrel{days}{8\frac{1}{6}}=a
\\\\\\
\textit{how many days will it take Bailey then?}\quad b=6a
\\\\\\
b=6\cdot \cfrac{49}{6}\implies b=\stackrel{days}{49}

Indicate whether the following congruence statement is true or false.<br> 50 points
Nostrana [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since line NL is not necessarily congruent to MQ (labelled with different congruent marks), triangle NLM is not congruent to triangle MQP.

Instead, triangles NLM and QPM are congruent.
