They will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

<h3>Sum and difference of fractions</h3>

Given the following information as shown:

  • Amount Blake collected = 6 1/3 pounds
  • Amount his brother collected = 5 3/4 pounds

If their goal is to collect 14 1/2 pounds of food by the end of the month, the remaining food they need to collect will be expressed as:

y =14 1/2 - (6 1/3 + 5 3/4)

y = 14 1/2 - (19/3  + 23/4)

y = 29/2 - (76+69/12)

y = 29/2 - (145/12)

y = 174-145/12

y = 29/12

y = 2 5/12

Hence they will need 2 5/12 more pounds to reach their goal.

Answer:

The correct answer is A) 4/663.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you find the probability of drawing a queen when drawing a single card from a deck of 52 cards. Since there are 4 queens(the queen of diamond, the queen of hearts, the queen of spades, and the queen of clubs) in a deck of 52 cards, the  probability of drawing a queen when drawing a single card from a deck of 52 cards is 4/52.

Next you find the probability of drawing a king when drawing a single card from a deck of 51 cards(since you did not replace the first card you drew). Since there are 4 kings(the king of diamond, the king of hearts, the king of spades, and the king  of clubs) in a deck of cards, the  probability of drawing a king when drawing a single card from a deck of 51 cards is 4/51.

Then you multiply the two probabilities to determine the probability of drawing a queen then a king. So,

4/52 x 4/51 =

4 x 4/52 x 51 =

16/2652

Finally, simplify the fraction. The greatest number that can go into both the numerator and denominator is 4. So divide both the numerator and denominator by 4. When you do this, you get the following:

16 divided by 4 = 4 as the numerator and

2652 divided by 4 = 663 as denominator.

So, the final answer is 4/663.

MatroZZZ [7]
P(x > 35) = 1 - P(x < 35) = 1 - P[z < (35 - 29.60)/10.50] = 1 - P(z < 0.5143) = 1 - 0.6965 = 0.3035

Therefore, answer is 0.30 to the hundredths place.

Can anyone help me I was self isolating when my class was taught this and I can't get in contact with my teacher
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x +2y = 13   -----------------(i)

x + 2y = 7    ----------------(ii)

Multiply the equation (ii) by (-1) and then add.

(i)              3x + 2y = 13

(ii)*(-1)      <u>-x    - 2y = -7 </u>        {Now, add and y will be eliminated}

                 2x       = 6

                        x = 6/2

x = 3

Plug in x = 3 in equation (i)

3*3 + 2y = 13

  9 + 2y = 13

         2y= 13 - 9

         2y = 4

           y = 4/2

y = 2
