Answer:

21kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We will do this.

11x - 12 = 7x

11x - 4x = 7x

4x = 12

4x/4 = 12/4

x = 3

3 x 7 = 21

Laura weighs 21 kg.

Mrs. Daly's reading classes were surveyed about their reading preferences. The data is summarized in the table below.

Answer:

Required probability is 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

The two-way table for the given data is,

Fiction Non-Fiction Total

9th grade 35 8 43

10th grade 52 12 64

Total 87 20 107

It is required to find the probability of the students who prefer to read non-fiction novels, given that they are in 9th grade.

That is, to find the conditional probability $P(Non-fiction| 9th\ grade)$ .

Now, $P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}$

So, we get,

$P(Non-fiction| 9th\ grade)=\dfrac{(Non-fiction\bigcap 9th\ grade)}{P(9th\ grade)}\\\\P(Non-fiction| 9th\ grade)=\dfrac{8}{43}\\\\P(Non-fiction| 9th\ grade)=0.19$

<h3>Thus, the required probability is 0.19.</h3>

Answer:

3. x = y - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to move all numbers on the same side of x to the other side with y. Whenever doing this, we have to reverse the operation. In this problem, we have + 3 with x. So we will need to subtract 3 from both sides.

x + 3 = y

x = y - 3

Find the perimeter of a towel thay measures 2 feet by 3/4 foot

levacccp [35]

A typical towel is the shape of a rectangle.
Rectangles have 2 opposite pairs of congruent (equal) sides.
To find perimeter, find the sums of all the sides.

The measures of the towel's sides are:
2 feet
2 feet
3/4 foot
3/4 foot

Add these together to find the perimeter.

2 + 2 + 0.75 + 0.75 = 5.5

The perimeter of the towel is 5.5 feet.

Hope this helps!
:)
