Answer :

Brian has $49 left.

Step by step explanation :

Step 1 : Find how much money Brian spends on rent and food.

First question we should be asking is what is 3/5 of 735?

Let's find that.

$\frac{3}{5}$ * $\frac{735}{1}$

= $\frac{(3)(735)}{(5)(1)}$

= $\frac{2205}{5}$

= 441

We know Brian spends $441 on rent. Now we find how much he spends on food.

$\frac{1}{3} * \frac{735}{1}$

= $\frac{(1)(735)}{(3)(1)}$

= $\frac{735}{3}$

= 245

Brian spends $245 on food.

Step 2 : Add what he spends on rent and food together.

$441 + $245 = $686

Step 3 : To find out how much money Brian has left, we subtract $686 from $735.

$735 - $686 = $49

Conclusion : Brian has $49 left.

Hope this helps, please mark brainliest if possible. Have a nice day.

1) Given P(A) = 0.3 and P(B) = 0.5, do the following.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

1) a) 0.8

b) 0.6

2) a) 0.08

b) 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given

$P(A) = 0.3$ and $P(B) = 0.5$

Let us learn about a formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\OR\\P(A\cup B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\cap B)$

(a) If A and B are mutually exclusive i.e. no common thing in the two events.

In other words:

$P(A\ and\ B)$ = $P(A \cap B)$ = 0

Using above formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\\Rightarrow P(A\ or\ B) = 0.3 + 0.5 -0 = \bold{0.8}$

(b) P(A and B) = 0.2

Using above formula:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) +P(B) -P(A\ and\ B)\\\Rightarrow P(A\ or\ B) = 0.3 + 0.5 -0.2 = \bold{0.6}$

*************************************

1) Given

$P(A) = 0.4$ and $P(B) = 0.2$

Let us learn about a formula:

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(B) \times P(A/B)$ for dependent events

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(A) \times P(B)$ for independent events.

(a) If A and B are independent events :

Using the above formula for independent events:

$P(A\ and\ B) = 0.4 \times 0.2 = \bold{0.08}$

(b) $P(A / B) = 0.7$

Using above formula:

$P(A\ and\ B) = P(B) \times P(A/B) = 0.2 \times 0.7 = \bold{0.14}$

If Z is the midpoint of RT , what are x, RZ AND RT?

Novosadov [1.4K]

Since z is the midpoint, rz and zt must be equal

4x - 15 = 25

4x = 40

X = 10
Plug the answer in and rz equals 40-15 which is 25.

25 + 25 = 50

Or if you really wanted, since you know 25 is half, just add them together right off the bat. (25 and 25, I mean)

Which is the correct formula to find the distance between two points (a, b) and (c, d)?

stepan [7]

Answer:

Learn how to find the distance between two points by using the distance formula, which is an application of the Pythagorean theorem. We can rewrite the Pythagorean theorem as d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²) to find the distance between any two points. Created by Sal Khan and CK-12 Foundation.
