Answer:

B. $2+\frac{1}{3}n=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number.

We are asked to write an mathematical expression for the given word phrase.

One third of a number, n, would be $\frac{1}{3}n$ .

Two more than one third of a number, n, would be $2+\frac{1}{3}n$ .

We are told that Two more than one-third of a number is 8. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$2+\frac{1}{3}n=8$

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

Two more means something + 2
One third = 1/3
Of a number is some undefined number i.e. a variable
is 8 just means mean = 8

Can you figure this out?

A baby wriggled so much that weighing him at the clinic was a problem. So the doctor held the baby and stood on a scale. Then th

Pepsi [2]

X = <span>weight of the baby.
y = </span>weight of the doctor.
z = weight of the nurse.

x + y = 78 so y = 78 - x
x + z = 69 so z = 69 - x
x + y + z = 142

substitute y = 78 - x and z = 69 - x into x + y + z = 142

x + y + z = 142
x +78 - x + 69 - x = 142
-x + 147 = 142
-x = - 5
x = 5

answer

<span>the weight of the baby was 5 kg</span>

Monica has a bag of marbles. There are 4 red marbles and 7 blue marbles and 5 yellow marbles in a bag. Monica will randomly pick

natima [27]

Answer:

$\frac{7}{64}\approx 0.11$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are 4 red marbles and 7 blue marbles and 5 yellow marbles in a bag. Monica will randomly pick two marbles out of the bag replacing the first marble before picking the second marble.

Since Monica will replace the first marble before picking the second marble, therefore, probability of both events will be independent and probability of occurring one event will not affect the probability of second event's occurring.

Since the probability of two independent compound events is always the product of probabilities of both events.

$P(\text{A and B})=P(A)*P(B)$
