Adam and his dad share the cost of the meal in the ratio of 2:3. Adam’s dad pays £52.20. What is the total cost of the meal

1 answer:

6 0

We have to calculate the total cost of the meal. We know that Adam ( A ) and his dad ( D ) share the cost of the meal in the ratio 2 : 3 and that Adam`s dad pays 52.20 Pounds. So A : D = 2 : 3; A : 52.20 = 2 : 3. Using the cross products, A * 3 = 2 * 52.20; A * 3 = 104.40; A = 104.40 : 3; A = 34.80 Pounds. Finally, A + D = 34.80 + 52.20 = 87.00. Answer: The total cost of the meal is 87 Pounds<span>. </span>

Answer:

P(≥1 working) = 0.9936
She raises her odds of completing the exam without failure by a factor of 13.5, from 11.5 : 1 to 155.25 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Assuming the failure is in the calculator, not the operator, and the failures are independent, the probability of finishing with at least one working calculator is the complement of the probability that both will fail. That is ...

... P(≥1 working) = 1 - P(both fail) = 1 - P(fail)² = 1 - (1 - 0.92)² = 0.9936

2. The odds in favor of finishing an exam starting with only one calculator are 0.92 : 0.08 = 11.5 : 1.

If two calculators are brought to the exam, the odds in favor of at least one working calculator are 0.9936 : 0.0064 = 155.25 : 1.

This odds ratio is 155.25/11.5 = 13.5 times as good as the odds with only one calculator.

_____

My assessment is that there is significant gain from bringing a backup. (Personally, I might investigate why the probability of failure is so high. I have not had such bad luck with calculators, which makes me wonder if operator error is involved.)

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 950 students at Hanover High School. The ratio of the number of freshmen to all students is 3:10. This means that the number of freshmen is 3/10 × total number of students.

Number of freshmen = 3/10×950 =285 freshmen

The ratio of the number of sophomore to all students is 1:2. This means that the number of sophomore is 1/2 × total number of students.

Number of sophomore = 1/2×950 =475 sophomore

The ratio of the number of freshmen to sophomore is the number of freshmen/ the number of

sophomore.

It becomes 285/475 = 57/95

Rashan buys 3 7/10 pounds of flour and Diego buys 2 3/4 pounds of flour they use 4 3/5 pounds of flour to bake bread. how much f

Alex787 [66]

To make this a bit easier we can convert the fractions to decimals, then add them up to find out how much flour they originally had. Rashan bought 3 7/10 pounds of flour, which becomes 3.7 pounds. Diego bought 2 3/4 pounds of flour, which becomes 2.75 pounds of flour. In total they both had 3.7 + 2.75 = 6.45 pounds of flour.

Now they used 4 3/5 pounds to bake some bread, which becomes 4.6 pounds. To find out how much flour they have left, we subtract the 4.6 from 6.45, which equals 1.85 pounds of flour left.

A treasure map says that a treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio. Marin

djyliett [7]

Answer:

A) (7.6, 8.8)

which are the coordinates of the treasure.

Missing Problem Statement:

Given Options:

A) (11.4, 14.2)

B) (7.6, 8.8)

C) (5.7, 7.5)

D) (10.2, 12.6)

I have added the picture showing the traced map onto a coordinate plane to find exact location of treasure.

The coordinates of Tree are (16,21)

Coordinates of rock are (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Coordinates of treasure be (a,b)

$d_{1}$ = distance from tree to treasure

$d_{2}$ =distance from rock to treasure

$d_{1}=\sqrt{(16-x)^2 + (21-y)^2}$

$d_{2}=\sqrt{x\2 + (y-2)^2}$

Given ratio between rock and tree, $\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}=\frac{5}{9}$ = 0.55_______(Equation.1)

which will be used to locate the treasure.

Now we just need to cross check by putting the coordinates given in the options one by one to find out value of $d_{1}$ , $d_{2}$ and checking if it satisfies the Equation 1.

Check (A) (11.4, 14.2)

$d_{2}$ = 14.8, $d_{1}$ = 8.2,

$\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}$ = 1.8

Check (C) (5.7, 7.5)

$d_{2}$ = 6.13, $d_{1}$ = 16.98,

$\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}$ = 0.36

Check (D) (10.2, 12.6)

$d_{2}$ = 12.8, $d_{1}$ = 10.2,

$\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}$ = 1.25

Check (B) (7.6, 8.8)

$d_{2}$ = 8.2, $d_{1}$ = 14.8,

$\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}$ = 0.55

Which satisfies Equation 1, such that ratio between rock and tree is 5:9 or $\frac{d_{2}}{ d_{1}}=\frac{5}{9}$ = 0.55

So, the coordinates of the treasure are (B) (7.6, 8.8)
