Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute
remember
a(b+c)=ab+ac
2(2.5q+8)=2(2.5q)+2(8)=5q+16
1-5q+5q+16
1+0+16
17
Hello,
There is a mistake: it is 816 cm² !!! (an area)
length are multiplied by 2,
so area are mutiplied by 2²=4
Area B=816*4=3264 (cm²)
Let b be the number of blue beads and g the number of green beads that Giovanni can use for a belt.
He's supposed to use a total of between 70 and 74 beads, so
70 ≤ b + g ≤ 74
The ratio of green beads to blue beads is g/b, and this ratio has to be between 1.4 and 1.6, so
1.4 ≤ g/b ≤ 1.6
For completeness, Giovanni must use at least one of either bead color, so it sort of goes without saying that this system must also include the conditions
b ≥ 0
g ≥ 0
(These conditions "go without saying" because they are implied by the others. g/b is a positive number, so either both b and g are positive, or they're both negative. But they must both be positive, because otherwise b + g would be negative. I would argue for including them, though.)
The probability would be 59/140 or 42.14% (rounded: 42%).
