Answer:
Somewhere between 12 and 13, perhaps 12.25
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a (rather) simple explanation:
Look for 2 square numbers that are either side of 150
In this case, it is 144 and 169
The square root of 144 is 12 and the square root of 169 is 13
Therefore we can estimate that the square root of 150 is somewhere between 12 and 13.
As 150 is a lot closer to 144 to 169, I would estimate around 12.25 but you do not need an exact value :)
Answer:
6 socks
Step-by-step explanation:
What we must do is calculate the probability of this happening, that he takes out two black socks in the first two taken out.
There are 12 black socks and in total they are 24, therefore the probability of drawing 1 is:
12/24
and now the probability of getting another one is 11 (there is one less outside) and in total they are 23:
11/23
the final probability is the multiplication of these events:
(12/24) * (11/23)
P = 0.24
Now, to know how many you should get, we multiply the probability by the total number of socks, that is:
0.24 * 24 = 5.76
So you must take out at least 6 socks for the above to happen.
I will give you everything I can do:

Lets say Car A travels at x mph. That means Car B travels at x+2 mph.
Both of them are traveling towards each others, so we can say the total speed is 2x+2.
Now i takes 3 hrs and we know the distance.
Since R*T=D
Then 3(2x+2)=270
So 2x+2=90
2x=88
x=44
12)
To find perpendicular we want to find the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. Therefore the slope is 3/2.
Now we must find the equation of the line with the given variable.
First find b.
5=3/2*4+b
b = -1
So the equation of this line is:
y=3/2x-1
13) All work will be shown below.
6-3(-2-4x)=2(3(x-4)+7)
6+6+12x=2(3x-12+7)
12+12x=2(3x-5)
12+12x=6x-10
6x=-2
x = -1/3
14)
First we must find the amount each train traveled.
The speed of F train(Freight train)=x
The speed of P train(passenger train)=x+6
Their combined speed is 2x+6
It takes 2 hrs to cover 100 miles
So 2(2x+6)=100
2x+6=50
2x=44
x=22
So the freight train covered 44 miles and the passenger train covered 56 miles.
To find average speed you must do Total Distance/Total Time.
44/2 and 56/2
Which are 22 and 28.
The average speed of F train is 22 mph and average speed of P train is 28 mph.
15) Again opposite reciprocal.
3/5 -> -5/3
Work:
-4=-3*-5/3+b
-4=5+b
b=-9
y = -5/3x-9
16)
F=kx-kx0
First kx0 = 0
So F=kx
So x=F/k
Assume ladder length is 14 ft and that the top end of the ladder is 5 feet above the ground.
Find the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the base of the wall.
Picture a right triangle with hypotenuse 14 feet and that the side opposite the angle is h. Then sin theta = h / 14, or theta = arcsin 5/14. theta is
0.365 radian. Then the dist. of the bot. of the lad. from the base of the wall is
14cos theta = 14cos 0.365 rad = 13.08 feet. This does not seem reasonable; the ladder would fall if it were already that close to the ground.
Ensure that y ou have copied this problem accurately from the original.
