Answer:
The probability of the man shorter than 1.85m is 2 in 5.
Answer:
Ok, we have a system of equations:
6*x + 3*y = 6*x*y
2*x + 4*y = 5*x*y
First, we want to isolate one of the variables,
As we have almost the same expression (x*y) in the right side of both equations, we can see the quotient between the two equations:
(6*x + 3*y)/(2*x + 4*y) = 6/5
now we isolate one off the variables:
6*x + 3*y = (6/5)*(2*x + 4*y) = (12/5)*x + (24/5)*y
x*(6 - 12/5) = y*(24/5 - 3)
x = y*(24/5 - 3)/(6 - 12/5) = 0.5*y
Now we can replace it in the first equation:
6*x + 3*y = 6*x*y
6*(0.5*y) + 3*y = 6*(0.5*y)*y
3*y + 3*y = 3*y^2
3*y^2 - 6*y = 0
Now we can find the solutions of that quadratic equation as:

So we have two solutions
y = 0
y = 2.
Suppose that we select the solution y = 0
Then, using one of the equations we can find the value of x:
2*x + 4*0 = 5*x*0
2*x = 0
x = 0
(0, 0) is a solution
if we select the other solution, y = 2.
2*x + 4*2 = 5*x*2
2*x + 8 = 10*x
8 = (10 - 2)*x = 8x
x = 1.
(1, 2) is other solution
This situation of the recipe can be represented as y=x+5.5 and it is expected that x is ≥ 0 and y is ≥ 5.5.
<h3>What is the equation for this situation?</h3>
It is known the total amount of flour (y) is equivalent to the total amount of whole wheat flour (5.5) added to the total white flour (x). Therefore, the equation is:
y = x + 5.5
The possible values are
x = It is expected x is equalthan 0 or greater to it since the minimum amount of white flour that can be added is 0.
y = It is expected y is equal than 5.5 or greater to it since even if no
white flour is added the minimum total is 5.5.
