Pieter wrote and solved an equation that models the number of hours it takes to dig a well to a level of 72 feet below sea level

.
7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72
Which statement is true about Pieter’s solution?

1. It cannot be a fraction or decimal because the depth of the well is a whole number.

2. It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.

3. It must be a negative number because the depth is below sea level.

4.It cannot be greater than –72 because that is the depth of the well.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Is this the entire question? Some of it makes no sense without a diagram or something.

To get rid of A you actually have to solve the equation.

7h – 5(3h – 8) = –72        Remove the brackets

7h - 15h + 40 = - 72          Combine the like terms

- 8h + 40 = - 72                Subtract 40 from both sides

- 8h = -112                        Divide by -8

    h = 14

Well the depth is a whole number so A is true.

We don't know anything about time. But the answer is positive.

C is false because B is true.

We don't know exactly what the depth of the well is.

I would pick A, but you need the entire question.

exis [7]

Answer:

the probability that at the end, at least 5 people stayed the entire time = 0.352

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 3 of the people are sure to stay the whole time. So, we'll deduct 3 from 6.which leaves us with 3 that are only 2/5 or 0.4 sure that they will stay the whole time.

Thus, what we need to compute to fulfill the probability that at the end, at least 5 people stayed the entire time of which we know 3 will stay, so for the remaining 3,we'll compute;

P[≥2] which is x~bin(3,0.4)

Thus;

P(≥2) = (C(3,2) x 0.4² x 0.6) + (C(3,3) x 0.4³)

P(≥2) = 0.288 + 0.064

P(≥2) = 0.352

(SAT Prep) Find the value of x.
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: x=40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are congruent (I think it’s called the interior angle proof) so the bottom right angle is also 65°. All angles in a Triangle equal 180°, so 180-(75+65)=40

A bike shop has 11 1111 red bikes, 3 33 blue bikes, 4 44 orange bikes, and 12 1212 silver bikes. For every 1 11 orange bike, the
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

C. Silver bikes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of red bikes at the bike shop = 11

Number of blue bikes at the bike shop = 3

Number of orange bikes at the bike shop = 4

Number of silver bikes at the bike shop = 12

Let us find the ratio of each bike with orange bikes to find the answer.

Orange bikes: Red bikes = 4 : 11

i.e. for every 4 orange bikes, there are 11 red bikes.

Orange bikes: Blue bikes = 4 : 3

i.e. for every 4 orange bikes, there are 3 blue bikes.

Orange bikes: Silver bikes = 4 : 12 = 1 : 3

<em>i.e. for every 1 orange bike, there are 3 silver bikes.</em>

<em></em>

Therefore, the answer is:

<em>C Silver bikes</em>
