The temperature of the substance at 10am  =  63.95°F

Let the temperature at 10 am be x

The temperature changes by −8.7°F from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m

The temperature at 1 pm = x  -  8.7

At 5 p.m., the temperature is 33.5°F

The temperature at 5 pm = 33.5°F

The temperature at 5 pm is 2/3 of what the temperature was at 1 p.m

33.5 = \frac{2}{3} ( x-8.7 )

Solve for x

3(33.5)  =  2(x  -  8.7)

110.5  =  2x  -  17.4

2x  =  110.5 +  17.4

2x   =  127.9

x   =  127.9/2

x   =  63.95°F

The temperature of the substance at 10am =  63.95°F

How many ways are there to select a 5-card hand from a regular deck such that the hand contains at least one card from each suit
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

There are 685464 ways of selecting the 5-card hand

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the hand has 5 cards and there should be at least 1 card for each suit, then there should be 3 suits that appear once in the hand, and one suit that apperas twice.

In order to create a possible hand, first we select the suit that will appear twice. There are 4 possibilities for this. For that suit, we select the 2 cards that appear with the respective suit. Since there are 13 cards for each suit, then we have {13 \choose 2} = 78 possibilities. Then we pick one card of all remaining 3 suits. We have 13 ways to pick a card in each case.

This gives us a total of 4*78*13³ = 685464 possibilities to select the hand.

Each letter of the word GEOMETRICAL is written on a separate piece of paper and put in a bag. You pick a random letter from the
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

5/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the chance that something will happen. Basically, it answers the question of how many times an event will occur in a given number of opportunities.

In this example, the word "GEOMETRICAL" has 11 letters and 5 of them are vowels. They are: E, O, E, I, A. The probability of picking a vowel is 5/11. We could say that there are 5 out of 11 chances of a vowel to occur whenever a piece of paper is taken out of the bag.

The measure of the angle
miv72 [106K]
First, we know this diagram consists of two horizontal lines cut by a transversal line. Therefore, we know that the given angle that measures 113° and the angle we want to find are alternate interior angles. Since all alternate interior angles are equal, we know the unknown angle must also be 113°.

I hope this helps.
