Answer:
The probability that Scott will wash is 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let the events be: P = Purple and G = Green
Required
The probability of Scott washing the dishes
If Scott washes the dishes, then it means he picks two spoons of the same color handle.
So, we have to calculate the probability of picking the same handle. i.e.
This gives:
<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>
So, we have:
C(a,b), because the x-coordinate( first coordinate) is a (seeing as it is situated directly above point B, which also has an x-coordinate of a) and the y-coordinate ( second coordinate) is b (seeing as it is situated on the same horizontal level as point D, which also has a y-coordinate of b)
the length of AC can be calculated with the theorem of Pythagoras:
length AB = a - 0 = a
length BC = b - 0 = b
seeing as the length of AC is the longest, it can be calculated by the following formula:
It is called "Pythagoras' Theorem" and can be written in one short equation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (^ means to the power of by the way)
in this case, A and B are lengths AB and BC, so lenght AC can be calculated as the following:
a^2 + b^2 = (length AC)^2
length AC = √(a^2 + b^2)
Extra information: Seeing as the shape of the drawn lines is a rectangle, lines AC and BD have to be the same length, so BD is also √(a^2 + b^2). But that is also stated in the assignment!
Answer:
x = -7/40
, y = -11/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the following system:
{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)
4 x + 6 y = -4 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)
0 x+(20 y)/3 = (-11)/3 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 3:
{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)
0 x+20 y = -11 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 2 by 20:
{12 x - 2 y = -1 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = (-11)/20 | (equation 2)
Add 2 × (equation 2) to equation 1:
{12 x+0 y = (-21)/10 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -11/20 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 12:
{x+0 y = (-7)/40 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = -11/20 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = -7/40
, y = -11/20
This means for every 5 students there will be 1 teacher so 550/5=110
So answer is 110 teachers
