Answer:

Ok, supongamos que en total hay N canicas.

1/5 de esas canicas se le dieron a Thales.

Entonces el resto ahora es:

1 - 1/5 = 4/5.

1/3 de esas canicas se le dieron a Arquimedes.

Entonces Arquimedes recibe:

(1/3)(4/5) = 4/15 de las canicas totales.

El resto, que eran 16, se le dieron a Pitagoras.

Ahora, las dos primeras entregas fueron:

1/5 + 4/15 = 3/15 + 4/15 = 7/15.

El resto seria:

1 - 7/15 = 8/15.

Y sabemos que el resto es igual a 16 canicas, entonces tenemos que:

(8/15)*N = 16.

De aca podemos calcular el numero total de canicas.

N = 16*(15/8) = 30

Esto quiere decir que inicialmente hay 30 canicas.

Thales recibe 30*(1/5) = 7 canicas.

Arquimedes recibe 30*(4/15) = 8 canicas.

Pitagoras recibe 16 canicas.

A jet plane travels 2 times the speed of a commercial airplane. The distance between Vancouver
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The time of a commercial airplane is 280 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the speed of a commercial airplane

y ----> the speed of a jet plane

t -----> the time that a jet airplane takes  from Vancouver to Regina

we know that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

y=2x ----> equation A

<u><em>The speed of a commercial airplane is equal to</em></u>

x=1,730/(t+140) ----> equation B

<u><em>The speed of a jet airplane is equal to</em></u>

y=1,730/t -----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

1,730/t=2(1,730/(t+140))

Solve for t

1/t=(2/(t+140))

t+140=2t

2t-t=140

t=140 minutes

The time of a commercial airplane is

t+140=140+140=280 minutes

Laurissa rolls two number cubes, each with the numbers 1 through 6. Laurissa adds the numbers that appear in the roll. Which two
defon

Answer:

Let's analyze the possible sums of both dices, i will use the notation:

Dice1 + Dice 2 = sum.

also remember that we have 2 dices, with 6 options each.

So the total number of combinations is 6*6 = 36

we have 36 possible outcomes.

I will start at the extremes, the minimum that we can sum is 2, and the maximum is 12, then:

We can have 2 if:

1 + 1 = 2

only one permutation.

and 12 if:

6 + 6 = 12

Again, only one permutation.

so 2 and 12 have the same chance (1 out of 36)

now, to have 3 we can have:

2 + 1 = 3

or

1 + 2 = 3.

and to have 11

5 + 6 = 11

6 + 5 = 11

Again, 3 and 11 have the same probability (2 out of 36 options)

And now we can see a pattern.

4 and 10 will have the same chance.

5 and 9 will have the same chance

6 and 8 will have the same chance

7 is the only number that has an unique chance (and it has the largest one)
