There are only 6 blue pens, 5 green pens and 8 red pens in a box.
One pen is taken at random from the box.
Write down the probability that this pen is blue.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.316

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = (number of outcomes)/(total number of outcomes)

In this case,

the total number of outcomes is 6+5+8 = 19, and

the number of outcomes for getting a blue pen = 6

Hence,

P(blue) = 6/19 = 0.31578947368 ≈ 0.316

of all the trees planted last year by a landscaping firm, only 1 in 10 trees died within a month. suppose a new landscaping firm is hired to plant 15 new trees. Let X denote the number of trees planted out of the 15 that died.
What is the lowest value of X that is consistent with the belief that the tree died due to mishandling?

Answers

The number of trees that died is an illustration of proportions.

The lowest value of X that is consistent with the belief that the tree died due to mishandling is 1.5

From the question, we have: 1 out of 10 died

This means that, the mean number of trees that died are:

[tex]\mathbf{\bar x =\frac{1}{10}}[/tex]

In 15 trees, the number (n) of trees expected to die is:

[tex]\mathbf{n = \bar x \times 15}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{n = \frac{1}{10} \times 15}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{n = 1.5}[/tex]

Hence, the lowest value of X is 1.5

Suppose two trains leave a certain station, at the same time, traveling in opposite directions. One train travels 30 mph faster than the other. In 2.5 hours, the trains are 205 miles apart. Find the speed of each train


Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  56 mph, 26 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The trains are separating at the rate of (205 mi)/(2.5 h) = 82 mi/h. If we let s represent the speed of the slower train, then that sum of their speeds is ...

  s + (s+30) = 82

  2s = 52 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 30

  s = 26 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  s +30 = 56 . . . the speed of the other train

The speeds of the two trains are 56 mph and 26 mph.

The total length of two ships is 2321 feet. The difference in their lengths is 17 feet. Find the length of each ship. If a football field has a length of 100​ yards, determine the length of the longer ship in terms of number of football fields.

Answers

The length of the longer ship in terms of number of football fields is;

4 football fields

Let the length of ship 1 be x

Let the length of ship 2 be y

Total length of both ships is 2321 ft

Thus;

x + y = 2321  ----(eq 1)

The difference in their lengths is 17 ft

Thus;

x - y = 17    ----(eq 2)

Add eq 1 to eq 2 to get;

2x = 2338

Thus; x = 2338/2

x = 1169 ft

Put 1169 for x in eq 1 to get;

1169 + y = 2321

y = 2321 - 1169

y = 1152 ft

Longer ship = 1169 ft long

From conversion tables;

1 ft = 1/3 yards

Thus; 1169 ft = 1169 * 1/3 = 389.67 yards

A football field has a length of 100 yards

Then number of football fields for the length of the longer ship = 389.67/100 = 3.8967 ≈ 4 football fields.

Step-by-step explanation:

A new health drink has 170​% of the recommended daily allowance​ (RDA) for a certain vitamin. The RDA for this vitamin is 30mg.

The above question is calculated as:

RDA of the vitamin × 170%

Its 15 because if the decimal after the whole number is less than 0.5 you go to the closest whole number down. Meaning whatever the whole number is attached to your decimal lower than 0.5 is your answer. If it's higher than 0.5 or IS 0.5 you round the nearest whole number, so one bigger than the number attached to your decimal. So if it was say:

15.67

The nearest whole would be 16

hours
Answer:

Answers

Answer:

645/28 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 hour, Kamina does 1/43 of the job.

Simon takes x hour to do the job alone.

In 1 hour, Simon does 1/x of the job.

Together, they do the job is 15 hours, so in 1 hour, they do 1/15 of the job.

1/43 + 1/x = 1/15

15x/(645x) + 645/(645x) = 43x/(645x)

15x + 645 = 43x

28x = 645

x = 645/28

The perimeter of a regular pentagon is 4 1/7

cm. Find the length of its each side​

Answers

Answer:

29/35 cm for each of the 5 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the length of all the sides added together.  A pentagon has 5 sides.  So you'd need to divide 4 1/7 by 5.

It might be easier to divide 4 by 5 and then divide 1/7 by 5 then add the two numbers together.

4/5 = 0.80 or 8/10

1/7 divided by 5  is written as (1/7) / (5/1)

When you divide a fraction by a fraction, you flip the fraction in the denominator over and multiply the new fractions.

So (1/7) / (5/1)  turns into   1/7  x  1/5 = 1 / 35

Adding 8/10 + 1/35, you first need to find the common denominator which would be 70.

8/10 would turn into 56/70

1/35 would turn into 2/70

Add them together now and you get 58 / 70.  This can be reduced down to

29 / 35.

Before doing the question let's recall that their are two types of shapes mostly , irregular and regular . Regular shapes have all their sides equal while irregular doesn't have. And here The given shape is pentagon so it will have 5 sides . Also , it's perimeter is given i.e sum of it's all sides , If we assume it's one side to be s then perimeter will be (s+s+s+s+s) more conveniently 5s . Now , heading to our question ,

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 5s=4\dfrac{1}{7}}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 5s=\dfrac{4\times 7+1}{7}}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 5s=\dfrac{28+1}{7}}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf 5s=\dfrac{29}{7}}[/tex]

[tex]{:\implies \quad \sf s=\dfrac{29}{7\times 5}}[/tex]
