You will multiply 2 1/4 x 1 1/4 to determine how many pounds of apples Alex buys.
2 1/4 x 1 1/4
9/4 x 5/4 = 45/4 or 11 1/4
Answer:
The value of x is 13.5 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can also apply this formula :
So for this question :
Answer: (x-5)/(x+1) and x cannot equal -1 because the denominator can't be zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor the numerator:
(x+9)(x-5)
Factor the denominator:
(x+1)(x+9)
So you have
(x+9)(x-5)/(x+1)(x+9); see that you can cross out the (x+9) in both the numerator and denominator?
You're left with (x-5)/(x+1)
The only number that is restricted is -1, because that would make the denominator zero, which is a no no!!
Answer:
0.56
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the probability that his mother returns just in time to catch Gabe stealing a cookie?
The probability of this is the same as 1 minus the probability that Gabe is NOT caught.
- Judy could return at anytime in the next 90 seconds
- Gabe spends the first 40 seconds pondering... time wasted=40secs
- It takes 30 seconds (out of the remaining 50secs) to finish eating a cookie without a trace
- The question says that Gabe was going to do it, so he probably did
Now we're looking for the probability that he gets caught. That is, probability that he does not "successfully" complete the 30secs task within the remaining 50secs.
Remember that each second has an equal probability of being the second that Judy comes back in. The latter of the 90 seconds does not carry a higher probability!
So the probability of catching Gabe (despite the 30secs it takes to complete his task) is 50/90 which is equal to 0.56
