Answer: 4 brothers and 3 sisters for a total of 7 siblings

Step-by-step explanation:

Let No. of boys = x

Let No. of girls = y

<u>Each boy has as many brothers as sisters</u>

Hence, (x - 1) = y

Rearranging we get,

x - y = 1 ……….(1)

<u>Now, each girl has twice as many brothers as that of sisters</u>

Hence, 2 * (y - 1) = x

Solving the bracket we get, 2y - 2 = x

Rearranging we get,

-x + 2y = 2 ……….(2)

Adding (1) and (2) using the elimination method, we get

x - y = 1

-x + 2y = 2

<u>y = 3</u>

Substituting value of Y in equation (1),

x - 3 = 1

Solving this we get,

x = 4

Thus, No. of Boys = 4, No. of Girls = 3 and No. of Siblings in the family = 7

The surface area of the cube is 54 square feet. What is the length, in feet, of one edge of the cube?​
Brut [27]

Answer:

3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A cube is made of 6 equal faces each of which is a square with the same side length. The surface area of the cube is the surface area of one side multiplied by 6. We know the surface area is 54 so divide this by 6.

54/6 = 9 ft^2

Since the surface must be a square, take the square root of 9 which is 3 ft. The length of one edge of the cube is 3 ft.

Which of the following events are dependent?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

A. Archie and Harris take turns picking yellow- or purple-colored chips from a dish.

C. Lily draws a marble from a bag filled with red and blue marbles, places her selection in a separate bag, and draws from the original bag of marbles again.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events will be dependent if the first event influences the probability of the second event. If the first event takes something and doesn't put it back, that means the second event can't pull the same roll and the total pool of items changed.

A. Beth and Corrie take turns picking a card at random and recording each outcome. They replace the selected card at the bottom of the pile after each turn.

This option put replace the card, so it is independent

B. Archie and Harris take turns picking yellow- or purple-colored chips from a dish.

No replacement, the event should be dependent.

C. Jared pulls out a sock from the laundry basket containing white and black socks, puts it back, and then draws another sock at random.

This option  put back the pulls, so it is independent

D. Lily draws a marble from a bag filled with red and blue marbles, places her selection in a separate bag, and draws from the original bag of marbles again.

No replacement for the marble taken, each draws probability should depend on the earlier draw result.
