There are eight swans swimming on a pond and four of those swans are
black. What fraction of the swans are black?

Answer:

The probability will be [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex], since there are a total of 11 purple and red Skittles and an overall total of 22 Skittles in the bag.

To solve this, we need to turn this word problem into a system of linear equations. To do this, let's use x to stand for Mr. Fontana's age, and y to stand for his son's age.

The first sentence states that eight years ago, Mr. Fontana was six times as old as his son.

eight years ago = x - 8

Fontana was six times as old as his son = 6(y - 8). Remember, we need subtract 8 from his son's age, which is why I wrote it as 6(y - 8), and his father was 6 times his son's age 8 years ago, which is why I multiplied 6 by y - 8.

Now, putting this all together gives us our first equation:

x - 8 = 6(y - 8)

We can now rewrite this equation in standard form:

x - 8 = 6y - 48 ----->

x - 6y = -48 + 8 ----->

x - 6y = -40 <----- this is our first linear equation

To find our second, we need to turn the second sentence into an equation. It says that in 12 years, Mr. Fontana will be twice as old as his son:

x + 12 = 2(y + 12)

Now, we need to rewrite this equation in standard form:

x + 12 = 2y + 24 ----->

x - 2y = 24 - 12 ----->

x - 2y = 12 <----- this is our second linear equation. We now have our system of equations:

x - 6y = -40

x - 2y = 12

Now we can find the father's age (x) and his son's age (y). First, multiply the second equation by -1, giving us:

x - 6y = -40

-x + 2y = -12

Now we can add both equations together:

x - x - 6y + 2y = -40 + -12 ----->

-4y = -52

Solve for y, by dividing both sides of the equation by -4, giving us:

y = 13

So, now we know the son's age: 13

To find the father's age, replace y in either the first equation or the second equation, with 13. Let's use the first equation:

x - 6(13) = -40 ----->

x - 78 = -40 ----->

x = 78 - 40 ----->

x = 38

Therefore, Mr. Fontana is 38 years old and his son is 13 years old.

Each rectangle that covers the cuboid is the product of two dimensions [tex](60\cdot40;\ 60x;\ 40x)[/tex]

Since it's a cuboid, we assume opposite sides are equal.

So each rectangle is counted twice:

[tex]Area=2(60\cdot40+60x+40x)=14800[/tex]

Now, we just isolate x:

[tex]60\cdot40+60x+40x=7400\\2400+100x=7400\\100x=5000[/tex]

Answer:50 cm

[tex]sin^2(\theta)+cos^2(\theta)=1\qquad \qquad sin(2\theta)=2sin(\theta)cos(\theta) \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}[/tex]

now, let's recall that anything times 1 is just itself, namely 5*1 =5, 1,000,000 * 1 = 1,000,000, "meow" * 1 = "meow" and so on, so we can write anything as time 1.

let's recall something else, that same/same = 1, so

[tex]\cfrac{cheese}{cheese}\implies \cfrac{spaghetti}{spaghetti}\implies \cfrac{horse}{horse}\implies \cfrac{butter}{butter}\implies \cfrac{25^7}{25^7}=1[/tex]

therefore

[tex]\cfrac{1}{sin(x)cos(x)}\cdot \cfrac{2}{2}\implies \cfrac{2}{2sin(x)cos(x)}\implies \cfrac{2}{sin(2x)}[/tex]

----- *  ------ = 3/2 miles per hour

 4         1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm ASSUMING you want to find n where g(n) = 8

g(n) = a/n

g(4) = 9 = a/4

          a = 36

g(n) = 8 = 36/n

         n = 36/8 = 4.5

The ordered pair to represent how many miles Jim runs and bikes in 5 weeks is (3.33, 5)

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Every week Jim runs 8 miles and bikes 12 miles.

This means that we have the ratio

Run : Bike = 8 miles : 12 miles

When he bikes for 5 weeks, we have

Run : 5 weeks = 8 miles : 12 miles

This gives

Run/5 weeks = 8/12

So, we have

Run = 5 weeks * 8/12

Evaluate the products

Run =  3.33 weeks

Hence, the number of weeks is 3.33 and the ordered pair is (3.33, 5)

The car overtakes the cyclist at a distance of 72 miles from the starting point.

,Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let the car overtake the cyclist at distance d and time t.

For the car:

48 = d / t

d = 48t

For the cyclist:

16 = d / (t + 3)

d = 16t + 48

48t = 16t + 48

32t = 48

t = 1.5 hours

d = 48(1.5) = 72 miles

The equation that represents the function is [tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]  

The graph is an exponential function, and it passes through the points:

[tex](x,y) = (1,1)\ (0,2)[/tex]

An exponential function is represented with:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

At (0,2), we have:

[tex]ab^0 = 2[/tex]

This gives

[tex]a(1) = 2[/tex]

[tex]a = 2[/tex]

At (1,1), we have:

[tex]ab^1 = 1[/tex]

[tex]ab = 1[/tex]

Substitute 2 for (a)

[tex]2b = 1[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]b = \frac 12[/tex]

Substitute values for a and b in [tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]

Hence, the equation that represents the function is [tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]

Answer:

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

since there's a given 120 degrees, and it's a isosceles triangle, we know that the line adds up to 180 (where the 120 degrees is). so 120+x=180, the interior angle measures 60 degrees. That being said, the 3 angles measure 60 degrees also. now there's a right angle mark on top, so we find the angle of the smaller triangle (near angle 2) by doing 90-60=30 degrees.

angle 2 is said to be x+160, and there's a line, which tells us that they must add to 180.. so x+160+30=180

x+190=180

x=-10.

The probability that the balls drawn are red, green, and black in that order will be 3/78.

Probability is the occurence of likely events. It is the area of mathematics that deals with numerical estimates of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1.

The box contains 4 black balls, 7 red balls, and 3 green balls. The total number will be:

= 4 + 7 + 3

= 14 balls.

The probability that the balls drawn are red, green, and black in that order will be:

= P(red) × P(green) × P(black)

= 7/14 × 3/13 × 4/12

= 1/2 × 3/13 × 1/3

= 3/78

The probability is 3/78.
