4/3 = 1/x.....4 lbs potatoes to $3 = 1 lb of potatoes to $x
cross multiply
(4)(x) = (3)(1)
4x = 3
x = 3/4
x = 0.75....so 1 lb of potatoes cost 75 cents
(8,6)...this means 8 lbs of potatoes cost $6
125.7 - ( - 1.82 )
125.7 + 1.82
127.52
Answer: On the 29th day
Step-by-step explanation:
According to this problem, no lilypad dies and the lilypads always reproduce, so we can apply the following reasoning.
On the first day there is only 1 lilypad in the pond. On the second day, the lilypad from the first reproduces, so there are 2 lilypads. On day 3, the 2 lilypads from the second day reproduce, so there are 2×2=4 lilypads. Similarly, on day 4 there are 8 lilypads. Following this pattern, on day 30 there are 2×N lilypads, where N is the number of lilypads on day 29.
The pond is full on the 30th day, when there are 2×N lilypads, so it is half-full when it has N lilypads, that is, on the 29th day. Actually, there are 
lilypads on the 30th, and 
lilypads on the 29th. This can be deduced multiplying succesively by 2.
Probabilities are used to determine the likelihood of events
The value of the probability P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) is 0.056
<h3>How to estimate the probability</h3>
To calculate the probability, we make use of the following representations:
- Event A represents the likelihood of thinking of a song
- Event B represents the likelihood of turning on the radio and hearing the song
So, we have:
P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = P(A) * P(B)
Assume that:
P(A) = 0.12 and P(B) = 0.47
So, we have:
P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = 0.12* 0.47
Evaluate the product
P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = 0.0564
Approximate
P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = 0.056
Hence, the value of the probability P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) is 0.056

Answer:
x = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, distribute the 1/3 onto the x and the 4 in the parenthesis. That leaves you with
1/3x + 4/3 = 20
We want the x value by itself so we're going to subtract the 4/3 from the left and the right side, leaving us with
1/3x + 4/3 = 20 - 4/3
1/3x = 18 & 2/3 (since we're dealing with fractions, I'm going to change the 18 & 2/3 into an improper fraction just to make the next step easier.)
1/3x = 56/3
The last step is to divide the 1/3 off of the x, so x is by itself. To divide a fraction by a fraction, just flip the fraction you're dividing with and multiply.
56/3 x 3/1 = 56 (56 x 3 is 168, and 3 x 1 is 3, so when you reduce 168/3, you get 56)
So, 56 is our answer, because after dividing off the 1/3, we're left with x = 56
