A bag contains 15 marbles. The probability of randomly selecting a green marble is One-fifth. The probability of randomly selecting a green marble, replacing it, and then randomly selecting a blue marble is 2 over 25 . How many blue marbles are in the bag?
Given:
Total number of marbles = 15
Probability of randomly selecting a green marble = [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex].
Probability of randomly selecting a green marble, replacing it, and then randomly selecting a blue marble = [tex]\dfrac{2}{25}[/tex].
To find:
The number of blue marbles.
Solution:
Let the number of blue marbles be x.
[tex]\text{Probability}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]
[tex]P(Blue)=\dfrac{x}{15}[/tex]
It is given that,
[tex]P(Green)=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
Probability of randomly selecting a green marble, replacing it, and then randomly selecting a blue marble is [tex]\dfrac{2}{25}[/tex]. So,
[tex]P(Green)\times P(Blue)=\dfrac{2}{25}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{x}{15}=\dfrac{2}{25}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{x}{75}=\dfrac{2}{25}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 75.
[tex]\dfrac{x}{75}\times 75=\dfrac{2}{25}\times 75[/tex]
[tex]x=2\times 3[/tex]
[tex]x=6[/tex]
Therefore, the number of blue marbles in the bag is 6.
An equilateral triangle with side lengths of 8.7 centimeters is shown. An apothem has a length of a and the radius has a length of 5 centimeters. The apothem and radius form a triangle with a base length of b. Which statements about finding the area of the equilateral triangle are true? Select three options
The image of the triangle is missing, so i have attached it.
Also, the options are;
A) The apothem can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
B) The apothem can be found using the tangent ratio.
C) The perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 15 cm.
D) The length of the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm.
E) The area of the equilateral triangle is approximately 65 cm².
Answer:
Options A, B & D are true
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We are told that the triangle is an equilateral triangle.
Thus, the 3 sides equal 8.7 cm.
Now from the image, b is half of one of the sides.
Thus, b = 8.7/2 = 4.35 cm
Now, we want to find the apothem "a".
Using Pythagoras theorem, we have;
a² + 4.35² = 5²
a² = 25 - 18.9225
a² = 6.0775
a = √6.0775
a ≈ 2.5 cm.
Thus, option A is true as pythagoras theorem was able to calculate the apothem "a"
B) since the main triangle is equilateral, it means each angle is 60°.
Now,the radius line from one corner point to the centre will divide the 60° angle into 2 equal parts.
Thus, the angle made by the radius line with the base of the triangle is 60/2 = 30°
Now,from tangent ratios, we know that;
Opposite/Adjacent = tan θ
In the small triangle, opposite is apothem "a" while adjacent is b = 4.35 cm
Thus;
a/4.35 = tan 30
a = 4.35 tan 30
a ≈ 2.5 cm.
Thus, option B is correct as Tangent ratio can be used to find the apothem
C) The perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3x
Where x is length of one side.
One side is 8.7 cm
Thus, perimeter = 3 × 8.7 = 26.1 cm
Thus option C is not correct.
D) From calculations above, we saw that in both options A & B, the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm.
Thus, option D is true.
E) Area of triangle is;
A = ½ × base × height
Base = 8.7 cm
To get height, we will use trigonometric ratio. Thus;
h/8.7 = sin 60°
h = 8.7 sin 60°
Thus;
A = ½ × 8.7 × 8.7 sin 60°
A = 32.77 cm²
Thus is not equal to 65 cm². Thus, option E is not correct.

Ethan builds two different kinds of chairs, rockers and swivels. It takes him 3 hours to build a rocker and requires 2 oz of stain. It takes him 2 hours to build a swivel chair and requires 8 oz of stain. Ethan has 56 oz of stain available and he can only work up to 24 hours. He makes $12 profit on each rocker and $10 profit on each swivel chair. 1. Since there cannot be negative chairs, create two constraints to represent this. 2.Create a constraint for the hours it takes to build the chairs. 3. Create a constraint for the stain it takes for the chairs. PLEASE HELP
Answer:
(1) [tex]x\geq 0\; \text {and}\;y\geq 0[/tex]
(2) [tex]3x + 2y\leq[/tex] 24
(3) [tex]x+4y\leq 28[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y be the numbers of rockers and swivels made by Ethan.
(1) Since the number of chairs can't be negative. So,
x\geq0 and y\geq 0 are the two constraints.
(2) He can work a maximum of 24 hours.
The time required to make 1 rocker chair and 1 swivels chair are 3 hr and 2 hr respectively.
So, the time required to make x rocker chair = 3x hr
and the time required to make y swivel chair = 2y hr.
The total time required is 3x + 2y hr which can't be more than the available time, 24 hr.
So, the required constraint is
[tex]3x + 2y\leq 24[/tex]
(3) Similarly,
As 1 rocker chair requires 2 oz strain and 1 swivel chair required 8 ox strain.
So, to make x rocker chair 2x oz required and make y swivel chair 8y oz required which can't be more than the available oz, 56.
So, the required constraint is
[tex]2x + 8y\leq 56[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow x+4y\leq 28.[/tex]

There are 366 days in a leap year and 24 hours in a day. How many hours are in a leap year?
Answer:
8784. is the answer to the question
Answer:
8,784 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
You should come up with an equation. I came up with 366 x 24 = x. 366 is the number of days with 24 being the number of hours.
366 x 24 = 8,784 hours

9+16=25 the square of 25 is 5
Answer:
5 = c
Step-by-step explanation:
pythagorean theorem is simply a^2 + b^2 = c^2
so a=3 and b=4 so we plug them in
3^2 + 4^2 = c^2
which is
9 + 16 = c^2
so
25 = c^2
then we take the square root for the answer!!
sqrt(25) = sqrt(c^2)
5 = c

Determine whether cach point lies on the graph of the line y = 4.6x -7.
H(0, -7)
Answer:
Point H does lie on the graph y = 4.6x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
y = 4.6x - 7
H(0, -7)
Step 2: Substitute, Evaluate, and Check
-7 = 4.6(0) - 7
-7 = 0 - 7
-7 = -7
Answer:
H(0,-7) does lie on the graph of line y = 4.6x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
All you have to do is simply plug in the x and y values.
From the point H (0,-7) we can say that
x = 0
y = -7
Now just plug it into the equation.
y = 4.6x - 7
(-7) = 4.6(0) - 7
-7 = -7
Since -7 does equal -7, the point H is on the line of y = 4.6x - 7.

There exists a similarity transformation that maps ABC to A'B'C. The measure of the measure of
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: For any triangle, the angles add to 180 degrees
A+B+C = 180
68+46+C = 180
114+C = 180
C+114 = 180
C+114-114 = 180-114
C = 66
Angle C is 66 degrees
Angle C' is 66 degrees
The triangles ABC and A'B'C' are similar, so angle C = angle C'

L.B. Johnson Middle School held a track and field event during the school year. The chess club sold various drink and snack items for the participants and the audience. All together, they sold items 486that totaled .$2,673a.If the chess club sold each item for the same price, calculate the price of each item.
Answer:
$5.50
Step-by-step explanation:
L.B Johnson middle school held a track and field event
The chess club sold different drinks and snack item for both the audience and participants
They sold 486 items at a total of $2,673
Therefore the price of each item can be calculated as follows
= 2673/486
= 5.50
Hence the price of each item is $5.50
