Answer:

Lindsey owns  12 books

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3x:Lindsay

x:Destiny

1/4x: Henry

1/3x+1/4x+x=57

4/12x+3/12x+x=57

7/12x+x=57

19/12x=57

x=57*12/19

x=36

1/3x=36/3

1/3x=12

Stephen has a dog that weighs 5 times as much as ian’s dog. the total weight of both dogs is 72 pounds. how much does stephen’s
galina1969 [7]
We'll let x represent the weight of Ian's dog.

So we can make the formula Ian's dog (x) + Stephen' dog (5x) = 72

So:
 x+5x=72
6x=72
x=12

So ian's dog is 12 pounds, but we're trying to find stephen's dog (5x)

We need to multiply x by 5 so:

5(12)=60

Therefore, Stephen's dog is 60 pounds

The voltage in an electrical circuit is multiplied by itself each time it is reduced. The voltage is 27/125 of a volt and it has
pishuonlain [190]

The <em>correct answer</em> is:


x³ = 27/125; and

x = 3/5.


Explanation:


Reducing the voltage 3 times would result in multiplying the unknown voltage, x, by itself 3 times; this gives us

x³.


The current voltage is 27/125; this gives us the equation

x³ = 27/125.


To solve this, take the cubed root of both sides:

∛(x³) = ∛(27/125)

x = (∛27)/(∛125)

x = (∛(3*3*3))/(∛(5*5*5))

x = 3/5

15 cards are selected out of a 52 card deck such that after each card is selected, it is placed back into the deck and the deck
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

a) true

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 13 heart-suit cards in a 52 card deck.

Since cards are returned to the deck after each pick, all of the 15 events are independent and have the same likelihood of occurring. Therefore, this experiment follows a binomial distribution with the following properties:

Number of events (n) = 15

Probability of success (Picking a heart) = 13/52 = 1/4

Probability of failure (Not picking a heart) = 39/52 = 3/4

In conclusion, the statement provided is true.
