Answer:

74.48 (round down to 74)

Step-by-step explanation:

2% of 76 is 1.52, so the correct reading would be 74.48 (rounded to 74)

to find that 2% of 76 what 1.52, I did 76 x .02 which gave me 1.52. Then I subtracted 1.51 from 76, which gave me 74.48

Equations used:

76x.02=1.52

76-1.52=74.48

The game that is used for the scenario above in terms of fair play is using a balloon. Here, the player will hit the balloon.

<h3>What is the scenario under the balloon game?</h3>

The rule of play are:

This is a classic game with simple rules which are:

Each player to hit the balloon up and it bonce into the air but when one should not allow it to touch the ground.,
Players would be tied together in twos and they will juggle a lot of balloon and it have to be more than 1 balloon with one of their hands tied to their back.

A scenario of the worksheet game whose expected value is 0 is given below:

Assume that it costs about $1 for a player to play the billon game and as such, if the player hits a balloon, they will be given $3. what can you say. Can you say that it this game is fair or not? and who has the biggest advantage.

Solution

Note that a game is ”fair” if the expected value is said to be 0. When a player is said to hits a balloon, their net profit often increase by $4. So when the player do not hit a balloon, it drops to $1.

(4)(0.313) + (-1)(0.313)

= 0.939 approximately

Thus, the expected value is $0.939 which tells that the game is fair.

Answer:

29.787%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the percentage that spend on yellow pages is shown below:

= Yellow pages ÷ Total advertising cost

= $700 ÷ ($700 + $600 + $650 + $400)

= $700 ÷ $2,350

= 29.787%

A snail can move 1/30 miles in 1/3 hour. How fast does a snail move in miles /hours

bekas [8.4K]

Answer: 1/10 miles/hour

To find how fast a snail moves in miles per hour, we can find the unit rate using a proportion.

The unit rate is the amount per one unit. In this problem, the unit is for one hour. One way to find the unit rate is by using a proportion.

<h2>Proportions</h2>

Proportions look like two fractions set equal to each other with a missing variable to solve.

<h3>State our variables</h3>

let <em>x</em> be the number of miles per hour

<h3>Write a proportion</h3>

The first fraction has a number for the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom), because the question gives us the information. The second fraction has a missing value, <em>x</em>, that we are solving for. We can write <em>x</em> in the numerator.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

<h2>Solve</h2>

We can solve by finding the scale factor. The scale factor is the number we can multiply the numerator by to find <em>x</em>.

<h3>Find the scale factor</h3>

Start with the proportion.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{x\ mi}{1\ hr}}$

To find the scale factor,

Take the denominator from the fraction with a variable: $1\ hr$
Take the denominator from the fraction that has no variable: $\frac{1}{3}\ hr$
Divide step 1 by step 2 and solve: $1\ hr\ \div\ \frac{1}{3}\ hr = 3$

Our scale factor is <u>3</u>.

<h3>Solve for x</h3>

We can find <em>x</em> by multiplying the numerator in the first fraction by the scale factor. This is because <em>x</em> is also in the numerator.

$\displaystyle{\frac{\frac{1}{30}\ mi}{\frac{1}{3}\ hr} = \frac{(\frac{1}{30}\ mi)*3}{1\ hr}}$
