For the answer to the two questions above,
3x + 2y = 36.50 (I)
2x + 5y = 50 (II)
Eliminating x from the two equations by subtraction:
first we multiply equation I by 2 and equation II by 3
6x + 4y = 73
6x + 15y = 150
Subtracting the two,
-11y = -77
y = 7
He earns $7 at the coffee cart
Substituting y into equation I,
3x + 14 = 36.5
x = $7.50
So we can conclude that, he earns a greater wage of $7.50 at the library,
Answer:
3/7 and 4/17
Step-by-step explanation:
a) given that Shen is playing a game and the probability of unlocking the treasure test is 3/10.
To find the odds in favour of his character unlocking the treasure chest.
Since probability = 3/10 we have favourable and total are in the ratio 3:10
i.e. favourable:Favourable+unfavourable= 3:3+7
Hene odds= favourable:unfavourable =3/7
Answer is 3/7
b) Given that odds against choosing a blue block are 13/4
This means there are 4 blue blocks and 13 other colour blocks.
Total blocks= 13+4 =17
No of blue blocks = 4
Probability of selecting blue block=4/17
Answer: The most appropriate measure of center is the median.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The measure of center generally represented by 1) mean 2) median 3) mode.
- Mean is the best measure to represent the center of the data but when data have outliers it gets affected badly.
- In that case, we use the Median as the best measure of center.
The given data is 12 10,9,68,12 .
As it can be seen that, the data have extreme value 68 ( called outliers).
In this case, we will use the Median as the best measure of center.
So, the most appropriate measure of center is the median.
X+y=11
x is longer than y
x>y
x is 4 less than 4 times y
x=-4+4y
sub back
x+y=11
-4+4y+y=11
-4+5y=11
add 4 to both sides
5y=15
divide both sides by 5
y=3
sub back
x=-4+4y
x=-4+4(3)
x=-4+12
x=8
the pieces are 8ft and 3ft
