There are 2 red marbles and 3 blue marbles, with a total of 5 marbles in the bag.

When Jonathan chooses a marble, we are saying that he is choosing the marble randomly.

Let's make a fraction. We want to know the chance of picking one of the 2 red marbles among all 5 marbles.

Divide 2 by 5

2/5

That's already a simplified fraction. If you want to convert this into decimal and into percentage, you would get

2/5
= 0.4
= 40%

Those are all acceptable answers.
Have an awesome day! :)

Mixing two kinds of candy the price of which was $2 and $4 per pound, Ella got a 10-lb mix of candy, which cost $2.90 per pound.
topjm [15]
1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

 - Ella mixed<span> two kinds of candy the price of which was $2 and $4 per pound.
 - Ella got a 10-lb mix of candy, which cost $2.90 per pound. 
</span>
 2. Therefore, let's call:

 x: pounds of the first kind of candy.
 y: pounds of the second kind of candy.

 3. Then, you have:

 2x+4(10-x)=(2.90)(10)

 4. When you clear x, you obtain:

 2x+40-4x=29
 -2x=29-40
 x=-11/-2
 x=5.5 pounds

 x+y=10
 y=10-x
 y=10-5.5
 y=4.5 pounds

Find the dimensions of a deck which will have railings on only three sides. There is 28 m of railing available and the deck must
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The largest possible area of the deck is 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 9.33 m

Breadth = 9.33 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a given dimension increases as the dimension covers more equidistant dimension from the center, which gives the quadrilateral with largest dimension being that of a square

Given that the railings will be placed on three sides only and the third side will cornered or left open, such that the given length of railing can be shared into three rather than four to increase the area

The length of the given railing = 28 m

The sides of the formed square area by sharing the railing into three while the fourth side is left open are then equal to 28/3 each

The area of a square of side s = s²

The largest possible area of the deck = (28/3)² = 784/9 = 87.11 m² with dimensions;

Width = 28/3 m = 9.33 m

Breadth = 28/3 m = 9.33 m.

Triangle N T M is shown. Angle N T M is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point T to point U on side N M to form a right
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The value of y is 6\sqrt{3} units ⇒ 2nd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attached figure

∵ ∠MTN is a right angle

∵ TU is the altitude of the triangle

- There are some rules in this triangle let us revise them

  • (NT)² = NU . NM
  • (MT)² = MU . MN
  • (TU)² = MU . NU
  • TM . TN = TU . MN

∵ NU = 9 units

∵ UM = 3 units

∵ MN = UM + NU

∴ MN = 3 + 9 = 12 units

- By using the 1st rule above

∴ (NT)² = 9 × 12

∴ (NT)² = 108

- Take a square root to both sides

∴ NT = \sqrt{108}

- Simplify the root

∴ NT = 6\sqrt{3} units

∵ NT is y

∴ y = 6\sqrt{3} units

The value of y is 6\sqrt{3} units

A newly drilled water well produces 50,000 quarts of water per week. With no new water feeding the well, the production drops by
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Total amount of water = 5,200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

water produced = 50,000 quarts of water per week

Production drop = 5% = 0.05 per year

Number of week in year = 52 week

Find:

Total amount of water

Computation:

Sum = a / r

a = 50,000 x 52

a = 2,600,000

Sum = a / [1-r]

Sum = 2,600,000 / 5%

Sum = 2,600,000 / 0.05

Total amount of water = 5,200,000
