To find the probability that both of the events occur, we simply multiply them!
4/5 × 1/7 = 4/35
The probability that both the pirate and the Captain hit each other's ships at the same time is 4/35 or about 11.4%
Answer:
$4.50
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the distributive property to solve this problem. 0.05(50+40) is the total sales tax. 0.05 being the percentage and 50 and 40 being the things we need to distribute 0.05 to. This becomes 2.5+2. This is 4.5.
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
all you have to do is replace the x with 14 until the equation is true.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let one no. be 'x'.
the other no. is (x+2)
therefore the eq. is:
x+x+2= -68
2x+2= -68
2x = -68-2
= -70
x= -70/2
= -35
one number is -35
other number is (x+2) = -35 + 2
= -33
Recipe is for 24 pieces, and required quantity is 16.
So the ratio is 16/24 = 2/3 means we need to reduce all ingredients to 2/3 of the given quantities. Not all recipes can be reduced prorata, but we will assume it can be done. A word of caution: the measurement of quantities will become awkward (like 3/8 of a teaspoon of salt, etc). The practical way is to make the full recipe, and invite friends to take home the remainder.
Here's the scaled recipe
Butter 1cup*3/4 = 3/4 cup
unsweetened chocolate = 4*3/4 = 3 squares
white sugar = 2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups
eggs = 4 * 3/4 = 3 eggs
A.P. flour = 1 cup * 3/4 = 3/4 cups
vanilla extract = 1 * 3/4 = 3/4 teaspoons
salt = 1/2 * 3/4 = 3/8 teaspoons
chopped walnuts = 2 * 3/4 = 1 1/2 cups
For this reason, there is a trend to use weights (in grams) than volumes to make scaling recipes easier.
