11. A basketball team of 16 players consists of 6 guards, 7 forwards, and 3 centers. The coach decides to randomly select 5 play
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

0.2163

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to evaluate the total number of possible outcomes. Since there are 16 players, and we are selecting just 5, the total number of possibilities is 16C5= 4,368

Now, we know we need 2 guards from 6 , 2 forwards from 7 and 1 center from 3 to start the game. Since we are selecting, it is a combination problem. These can be done in the following number of ways:

6C2 * 7C2* 3C1

The probability is thus (6C2 * 7C2* 3C1 )/16C5 = 945/4368 = 0.2163

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

1 cup = 48 teaspoons

C = 48t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons

1 cup = 16 tablespoon

Write an equation that represents the number of teaspoons, t, contained in a cup, C.​

Since

1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons

And

1 cup = 16 tablespoon

Then

1 cup = 3 teaspoons × 16

1 cup = 48 teaspoons

Let

cup = C

Teaspoons = t

Therefore,

C = 48t

Juana compró una camioneta 4x4 a S/ 42 000; además, sabe que la camioneta se depreciará (bajará su precio) en forma lineal duran
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Una relación lineal es de la forma:

y = a*x + b.

donde a es la pendiente y b es la ordenada al origen.

en este caso, y es el precio de la camioneta, x es el numero de años que pasaron, a es la razon de depreciación de la camioneta y b es el precio inicial de la camioneta, b = $42,000.

Sabemos que después de 5 años, el precio de la camioneta es 21,000, entonces podemos resolver:

$21,000 = a*5 + $42,000

a*5 = $21,000 - $42,000 = -$21,000

a = -$21,000/5 = -$4,200

Esto significa que el precio decae $4,200 por año
