Answer:

Required equation : $2w+4=35$

Weight of each of his checked bags = 15.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of checked bags = 2

Backpack weight = 4 kg

The total weight of Carl's baggage = 35kg

Let w is the weight of each checked bag.

Weight of 2 checked bags = 2w

Weight of 2 checked bags + Backpack weight = Total weight of Carl's baggage

$2w+4=35$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$2w=31$

Divide 2 from both sides.

$w=\dfrac{31}{2}=15.5$

Therefore, the weight of each of his checked bags is 15.5 kg.

A clock is showing the time as exactly 3:00 p.m. and 25 s. Because a full minute has not passed since 3:00, the hour hand is poi

I had to read this a couple of times to see this was not about time, but is a right triangle problem. If the hour hand is at three, let us consider that a leg of a right triangle, we will consider the hypotenuse as the second hand.
Sketch the picture.

The hypotenuse is 9 cm. the angle is found by:

the (hour hand) is pointing directly at the 12. I expect you mean the minute hand. The angle between the minute hand and the second hand is 25/60*360 = 150 which make the angle between the hour hand and the second hand. 150 -90 =60

so the second hand and the hour hand gives us a right triangle, with a 60 degree angle and a hyp. of 9 cm.

cos 60 = x/9

9 cos 60 =x

x = 4.5 cm

The manager of a video game store found that 35 of the 140 people who preordered the latest baseball game canceled their orders

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: $\frac{1}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The manager of a video game store found that 35 of the 140 people who preordered the latest baseball game canceled their orders the day before the game was released.

The probability that two customers who preorder the newest golf game will both cancel their orders the day before the game is released

$=\frac{35}{140}\times\frac{35}{140}=\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{16}$

Hence, The probability that two customers who preorder the newest golf game will both cancel their orders the day before the game is released is $\frac{1}{16}$ .

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

I take it you mean the average gallons lost an hour, in which case you would do 58,432.4 - 56,475.2 to get 1,597.2 to which you divide by 2 getting your final answer of 978.6

A store sells 8 colors of balloons with at least 28 of each color. How many different combinations of 28 balloons can be chosen?

Len [333]

Answer:

(a) $Selection = 6724520$

(b) $At\ most\ 12 = 6553976$

(c) $At\ most\ 8 = 6066720$

(d) $At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 5896638$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Colors = 8$

$Balloons = 28$ --- at least

Solving (a): 28 combinations

From the question, we understand that; a combination of 28 is to be selected. Because the order is not important, we make use of combination.

Also, because repetition is allowed; different balloons of the same kind can be selected over and over again.

So:

$n => 28 + 8-1$ $= 35$

$r = 28$

$Selection = ^{35}^C_{28$

$Selection = \frac{35!}{(35 - 28)!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35!}{7!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29*28!}{7!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29}{7!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29}{7*6*5*4*3*2*1}$

$Selection = \frac{33891580800}{5040}$

$Selection = 6724520$

Solving (b): At most 12 red balloons

First, we calculate the ways of selecting at least 13 balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 15 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 13)

So:

$n => 15 + 8 -1 = 22$

$r = 15$

Selection of at least 13 =

$At\ least\ 13 = ^{22}C_{15}$

$At\ least\ 13 = \frac{22!}{(22-15)!15!}$

$At\ least\ 13 = \frac{22!}{7!15!}$

$At\ least\ 13 = 170544$

Ways of selecting at most 12 =

$At\ most\ 12 = Total - At\ least\ 13$ --- Complement rule

$At\ most\ 12 = 6724520- 170544$

$At\ most\ 12 = 6553976$

Solving (c): At most 8 blue balloons

First, we calculate the ways of selecting at least 9 balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 19 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 9)

So:

$n => 19+ 8 -1 = 26$

$r = 19$

Selection of at least 9 =

$At\ least\ 9 = ^{26}C_{19}$

$At\ least\ 9 = \frac{26!}{(26-19)!19!}$

$At\ least\ 9 = \frac{26!}{7!19!}$

$At\ least\ 9 = 657800$

Ways of selecting at most 8 =

$At\ most\ 8 = Total - At\ least\ 9$ --- Complement rule

$At\ most\ 8 = 6724520- 657800$

$At\ most\ 8 = 6066720$

Solving (d): 12 red and 8 blue balloons

First, we calculate the ways for selecting 13 red balloons and 9 blue balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 6 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 13 - 9)

So:

$n =6+6-1 = 11$

$r = 6$

Selection =

$^{11}C_6 = \frac{11!}{(11-6)!6!}$

$^{11}C_6 = \frac{11!}{5!6!}$

$^{11}C_6 = 462$

Using inclusion/exclusion rule of two sets:

$Selection = At\ most\ 12 + At\ most\ 8 - (12\ red\ and\ 8\ blue)$

$Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue\ = 170544+ 657800- 462$

$Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue\ = 827882$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = Total - Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 6724520 - 827882$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 5896638$
