Last night Davis did homework for 5/6 of an hour. He spent 1/3 of that time working on math. Which model shows the fraction of a

n hour he worked on math?

Answer:

5/6 hour = 15/18 hour

one third of 15/18 = 5/18

5/18 * 60 minutes / hour = 0.2777777778 hours

which equals 16 minutes 40 seconds

Calculating conditional probabilities - random permutations. About The letters (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) are put in a random order.

Evgesh-ka [11]

A="b is in the middle"

B="c is to the right of b"

C="The letter def occur together in that order"

a) b can be in 7 places, but only one is the middle. So, P(A)=1/7

b) X=i, "b is in the i-th position"

Y=j, "c is in the j-th position"

$P(B)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{6}(P(X=i)\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+1}^{7}P(Y=j))=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{6}\frac{1}{7}(\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+1}^{7}\frac{1}{6})=\frac{1}{42}\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{6}(\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+1}^{7}1)=\frac{6+5+4+3+2+1}{42}=\frac{1}{2}$

P(B)=1/2

c) X=i, "d is in the i-th position"

Y=j, "e is in the j-th position"

Z=k, "f is in the i-th position"

$P(C)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{5}( P(X=i)P(Y=i+1)P(Z=i+2))=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{5}(\frac{1}{7}\times\frac{1}{6}\times\frac{1}{5})=\frac{1}{210}\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{5}(1)=\frac{1}{42}$

P(C)=1/42

P(A∩C)=2*(1/7*1/6*1/5*1/4)=1/420

$P(B\cap C)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{3} P(X=i)P(Y=i+1)P(Z=i+2)\displaystyle\sum_{j=i+3}^{6}P(V=j)P(W=j+1)=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{3}\frac{1}{6}\frac{1}{7}\frac{1}{5}(\displaystyle\sum_{j=1+3}^{6}\frac{1}{4}\frac{1}{3})=1/420$

P(B∩A)=3*(1/7*1/6)=1/14

P(A|C)=P(A∩C)/P(C)=(1/420)/(1/42)=1/10

P(B|C)=P(B∩C)/P(C)=(1/420)/(1/42)=1/10

P(A|B)=P(B∩A)/P(B)=(1/14)/(1/2)=1/7

P(A∩B)=1/14

P(A)P(B)=(1/7)*(1/2)=1/14

A and B are independent

P(A∩C)=1/420

P(A)P(C)=(1/7)*(1/42)=1/294

A and C aren't independent

P(B∩C)=1/420

P(B)P(C)=(1/2)*(1/42)=1/84

B and C aren't independent

An animal shelter has $2500 in its reserve fund. The shelter charges $40 per animal placement and would like to have at least $4

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Step 1

Write and solve the inequality:

2,500 + 40a ≥ 4,000, or 40a ≥ 1,500

a ≥ 37.5

Step 2

If the shelter places 30 cats and 10 dogs,

or 40 animals, that will be enough to meet

its goal, because a = 40 is a solution to the

inequality a ≥ 37.5.

The equation of a line is y = 1.5x − 2. What are its slope and y-intercept?

irakobra [83]

Slope: 1.5
y-intercept: -2

Explanation:
The slope is the number attached to 'x' in the equation. In this case, 1.5 would be the slope because it's attached to x.

The y-intercept is the constant the number not attached to any variables. In this case, -2 is all by itself.

Hope that helps!

How do you convert 1.42 g/cm^2 to mg/mm^2 Step by Step?

dmitriy555 [2]

In the problem stated,we are asked to convert 1.42 g/cm^2 to mg/mm^2 . From the units given, 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams and 1 centimeter is equal to 10 millimeters. We square the second conversion to take consideration of the squaring of cm. in this case, the conversion is 1.42 g/cm2 * (1000 mg/1g)*(1 cm / 10 mm)^2 equal to 14.2 g/mm2
