C: at y=5
The formula is y=mx+b (b meaning the y-intercept) so that +5 is where your y-intercept is gonna be!
6 pennies, 12 nickels, 8 dimes, 4 quarters = 30 coins
a) add the probability for drawing a dime and drawing a quarter together:
12/30 + 4/30 = 16/30 = 8/15
The probability is 8/15 or 53%
b) multiply the probability for drawing a penny and drawing a nickel:
6/30 x 12/30 = 72/900 = 2/25
The probability is 2/25 or 8%
c) multiply the probability for drawing quarters but take away one of the total coins and the amount of quarters each time:
4/30 x 3/29 x 2/28 = 24/24360 = 1/1015
The probability is 1/1015 or 0.099%
Answer:
=====================================================
Reason:
Plot the points (0,0) and (r,s). You can place (r,s) anywhere you want.
Connect the two points mentioned and form a right triangle such that the segment from (0,0) to (r,s) is the hypotenuse of said right triangle.
The horizontal leg has a length of r-0 = r units, while the vertical leg will be 's' units.
Check out the diagram below.
We then apply the pythagorean theorem to say where h is the hypotenuse. Solving for h gets us . We only focus on the positive square root since a negative hypotenuse makes no sense.
Since we made the hypotenuse the segment with endpoints (r,s) and (0,0), this means the hypotenuse length and the distance are the same thing.
Therefore, the distance from (r,s) to (0,0) is
As an alternative, you can use the distance formula to get the same answer. The distance formula is effectively the pythagorean theorem phrased a different way.
17 + 5shirts = 42
5shirts = 42-17 = 25
1shirt = 25/5 = 5
A shirt costs £5.
3*5 + 1hat = 17
15 + 1hat = 17
1hat = 2
A hat costs £2
Answer:
18 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
We'll find out how much of the total container was lost when pouring out by subtracting 2/3 from 1/2.
2/3 = 4/6
1/2 = 3/6
4/6 - 3/6 = 1/6
1/6 of the total amount the container could hold was lost when 3 gallons was poured out. This means that 1/6 of the container equals to 3 gallons. We can then simply multiply 3 by 6 to find the number of gallons of liquid the container can hold.
3 * 6 = 18 gallons
Checking my answer:
18 * 2/3 = 6 * 2 = 12
12 - 3 = 9
1/2 of 18 = 9
This means that our answer is correct.
