Answer:
-5/6 or 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Im assuming you want this equation equal to 0, so (6x-5)(6x+5) would reduce to 36x²-25=0. I would then add 25 to the other since and get
36x²=25, divide the whole thing by 36 to single out x
x²=25/36, which would reduce to x²=5/6.
thus x could be either -5/6 or 5/6
In the final exams, 40% of the students failed chemistry, 25% failed physics, and 19% failed both chemistry and physics. What is the probability that a randomly selected student failed physics given that he passed chemistry?
I have answered the question in the image below, but I would like to know if it is correct. If it is not, please include an explanation of why, as well as the step by step to get the correct answer
Answer:
10%
Step-by-step explanation:
If 40% failed chemistry then 60% passed chemistry.
If 19% failed both chemistry and physics, and 25% failed physics, then 6% passed chemistry and failed physics.
If we let p' represent failing physics and c represent passing chemistry, then ...
P(p'|c) = P(p'c)/P(c)
P(p'|c) = 6%/60% = 0.10 = 10%
If the randomly chosen student passed chemistry, the probability is 10% that he failed physics.
__
Your answer is correct.
To solve this problem, we can use conditional probability.
Let's assume that there were 100 students in the final exam.
According to the problem, 40% of the students failed chemistry, which means that 60% of the students passed chemistry.
We can see that 25% of the students failed physics, and 19% of the students failed both chemistry and physics.To find the probability that a randomly selected student failed physics given that he passed chemistry, we need to use Bayes' theorem:
[tex]\sf P(Failed\: Physics | Passed\: Chemistry) = \dfrac{P(Failed\: Physics\: and\: Passed\: Chemistry)}{ P(Passed\: Chemistry)}[/tex]
We already know that P(Failed Physics and Passed Chemistry) = 6 students (from the Venn diagram), and P(Passed Chemistry) = 60 students (since 60% of the students passed chemistry).
Therefore,
[tex]\sf P(Failed\: Physics | Passed\: Chemistry) = \dfrac{6}{60} = 0.1\: or\: 10\%[/tex]
So the probability that a randomly selected student failed physics given that he passed chemistry is 10%.
(03.02 MC) The figure shows the location of three points around a lake. The length of the lake, BC, is also shown. (The figure is not drawn to scale.) A 6 mi 2 mi 00 B С Which of the following choices is closest to the distance (in miles) between points A and B?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(b) 5.66 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
You only need to eliminate the unreasonable answers to make the correct choice.
The hypotenuse of the right triangle is its longest side, so the unknown length must be less than 6. That eliminates the last two choices.
The unknown length cannot be less than the difference of the sides shown, so the unknown length must be more than 4. That eliminates the first choice.
The only reasonable choice is ...
B. 5.66 miles
_____
If you like, you can calculate the distance using the Pythagorean theorem.
AB² + 2² = 6²
AB = √(36 -4) = √32 ≈ 5.66 . . . miles

A recipe for 24 cookies requires112 cups of sugar. If Ben wants to make 36 cookies, how much sugar does he need?
Answer:
168 cups of sugar
Step-by-step explanation:
36 cookies require you to use what the recipes calls for plus one half.
112 divided by two is 56
112 + 56 = 168 cups
I hope that this helps!
For this case we have the following data:
24 cookies require 1 1/2 cups of sugar. To know the amount of sugar that is required to make 36 cookies, we make a rule of three:
24 -----------> 1 1/2
36 -----------> x
Where x represents the amount of sugar required to make 36 cookies.
Thus, cups of sugar are required to make 36 cookies.
1. What is the ratio of 10 notebooks to 5 ballpens in simplest form?
Answer:
2:1 or 2
Step-by-step explanation:
*** (Ratios can be written as " a : b", or can be written as a fraction " a / b".
>> therefore 10/5 can be simplified to 2/1 )***
For every 10 notebooks, there are 5 ballpens.
Therefore, for every 2 notebooks there is 1 ballpen (The simplification).
EXTRA:
**Also remember that the ratio of notebooks to ballpens cannot be reversed into ballpen to notebook ratio, because this would change the meaning.
2/1 is not the same as 1/2 **

x > 8
Step-by-step explanation:
(Twice a number) (is more than) (the sum of that number and 8)
2x > x + 8

Last year, Christine opened an investment account with $5600. At the end of the year, the amount in the account had decreased by 26.5%. How much is this
decrease in dollars? How much money was in her account at the end of last year?
Decrease in amount:
$
Year-end amount:
Answer:
Decrease amount: $1484 Year-end amount: $4116
Step-by-step explanation:
26.5% of 5600 is 1484. We then subtract 1484 from 5600 because that is how the percentage of decrease, which gives us 4116 dollars. This means her year-end account is 4116 dollars, and the decrease amount is 1484 dollars. Hope this helps!

Answer: The answer is 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
53/9 or 5 and 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
5 1/3 + 5/9
we can convert 5 1/3 to a fraction by multiplying 5 times the denominator and adding 1 (the numerator) to it. we get
16/3
we now need to get common denominators. the least common denominators is 9, so we multiply 16/3 by 3/3 and we get:
48/9
now we can add the two:
48/9 + 5/9 = 53/9 or 5 and 8/9

Katie jogged a total distance of 8 and 1 over 2 miles during the months of January and February. If Katie only jogged 1 over 4 mile every day, which expression shows the number of days she went jogging? (1 point)
Group of answer choices
8 and 1 over 2 ÷ 1 over 4
8 and 1 over 2⋅ 1 over 4
8 and 1 over 2 + 1 over 4
8 and 1 over 2 − 1 over 4
Flag question: Question 4
Answer:
(a) 8 1/2 ÷ 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Katie's total mileage is the product of the miles per day (1/4) and the number of days (n).
miles = (1/4)n
If Katie jogged 8 1/2 miles, then we have ...
8 1/2 = (1/4)n
We find the value of n (the number of days) by dividing both sides of this equation by the coefficient of n:
(8 1/2) ÷ (1/4) = n
_____
Additional comment
If you consider the units, you know that the only possible operation is division. The number 8 1/2 has units of miles. The number 1/4 has units of miles per day.
[tex]\dfrac{\text{miles}}{\left(\dfrac{\text{miles}}{\text{day}}\right)}=\dfrac{\text{miles}\cdot\text{day}}{\text{miles}}=\text{days}[/tex]
If you multiply, the product units are miles²/day. You cannot add or subtract numbers with different units. (They are not "like terms".)
As here, "units analysis" often tells you what math operations are needed, and which ones make no sense whatever.
