Well the cost of the apples can be found by dividing the price by the amount bought. ($5/4 or $10/8 = $1.25/lb). If you want to find the amount for 6 pounds just multiply it by the individual cost (6x$1.25= $7.50)

marta [7]

So, he had 2 thirds then removed 2 sixths. You have to subtract the fractions.

2 sixths is equal to 1 third.

2 thirds-1 third= 1 third.

Grant has 1/3 of a cup of ice cream left in his bowl.

I hope this helped!

Suppose it is now 1:00 p.m. and the last ghost appearance (the 6th overall) was at 12:35 p.m. What is the probability that the 7

zalisa [80]

Answer:

probability = 0.503

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

now = 1:00 p.m

last ghost appearance = 12:35 p.m

solution

we consider here Ghost appearances occur in house according to a Poisson process having a rate = 1.4 ghosts per hour

so time duration from 1:00 pm to 1:30 pm = 0.30 min = 0.5 hrs

and we take random variable denoting inter-arrival time = Y

so here probability that the 7th ghost will appear before 1:30 p.m. is as

probability = P(Y < 0.5)

probability = 1 - $e^{-1.4 \times 0.5)$

probability = 1 - 0.497

probability = 0.503
