Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that a producer of electronic book readers is performing a quality check to make sure that the reader's backlight is working correctly. Then, the plant manager tests 2,000 readers on Monday and finds that 8 have defective backlights. The fraction 1/x is the experimental probability of a book reader having a defective backlight. What is the value of x?

Number of tested readers= 2000

Defective backlight = 8

Probability of having a defective backlight will be the number of defective backlight divided by the number of readers tested. This will be:

= 8/200

We reduce the nice fraction to its lowest term.

8/200 = 1/25

Therefore x will be 25

Kayson mixes 300300300 milliliters (\text{mL})(mL)left parenthesis, start text, m, L, end text, right parenthesis of spinach, 20
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Total, T = (300s+200b+42d) mg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Kayson mixes 300 mL spinach, 200 mL of berries, and 42 mL of dressing to make a salad.

There are s mg of vitamin C per mL of spinach, b mg per mL of berries, and d mg per mL of dressing.

In 300 mL of spinach vitamin C is = (300 s)mg

In 200 mL of berries vitamin C is = (200 b)mg

In 42 mL of salad vitamin C is = (42 d)mg

It means that, total mg of vitamin C is :

Total, T = (300s+200b+42d) mg

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the yyy-intercept of y=-3-7xy=−3−7xy, equals, minus, 3, minus, 7, x?
stiv31 [10]

<em><u>Complete Question:</u></em>

What is the y intercept of y = -3-7x

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

<h3>The y intercept is (0, -3)</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given equation is:</u></em>

y = -3 - 7x

The y intercept is the point where the line crosses the y axis

<u>Finding y intercept: </u>

To determine the y-intercept, we set x equal to zero and solve for y

Substitute x = 0 in given equation

y = -3 - 7(0)

y = -3 - 0

y = -3

Thus the y intercept is (0, -3)

4 hour: 15 minutes

3 hour: ?

15/3 x 4= 20 teaches. Then we do 20-15=5 because there were originally 15 members.
