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

The vertices of rhombus defg are d(1, 4), e(4, 0), f(1, –4), and g(–2, 0). what is the perimeter of the rhombus?
Harman [31]

Answer: 20 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Here the vertices of the rhombus defg are d(1, 4), e(4, 0), f(1, –4), and g(–2, 0).

Where, de, ef, fg, gd are sides of the rhombus defg.

By the distance formula,

de = \sqrt{(4-1)^2+(0-4)^2}

=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}

=\sqrt{9+16}

=\sqrt{25}

= 5

Thus, the side of rhombus = 5

By the property of rhombus,

de =  ef = fg = gd = 5 unit.

Thus, the perimeter of the given rhombus defg = de +  ef + fg + gd = 5+5+5+5 = 20 unit

1. Drake is Bradley's sister.
2. Cursen is Atley's brother
3. Norma and Drake are not related
<span>4. Kermit is a year older than Bradley
</span>
Drake is a girl (1), but she is not related to Norma(3), So she is Marlene.
1) MARLENE DRAKE

Drake and Bradley are related; Norma is not related to them(3). Norma can either be Atley or Cursen. But, Cursen is Male. So, Norma is NORMA ATLEY

Remaining family names are Bradley and Cursen. Kermit is not a Bradley, so he is KERMIT CURSEN. That leaves LEONARD BRADLEY.

Sarah and thomas are going bowling. the probability that sarah scores more than 175 is 0.4, and the probability that thomas scor
pychu [463]

When the occurrence of one event say A does not affect the occurrence of another event say B, than the two events are said to be independent such that;

\\  &#10;P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)

where, P(A) = probability of occurrence of event A

and P(B) = probability of occurrence of event B

(a).

Now, let event A = Sarah scores more than 175

and event B = Thomas scores more than 175

Thus, P(A)= Probability that Sarah scores more than 175 = 0.4

and P(B)= Probability that Thomas scores more than 175 = 0.2

Since, the scores are independent, thus the probability that both Sarah and Thomas scores more than 175 is,

\\  &#10;P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B)\\  &#10;P(A\cap B)= 0.4\times 0.2= 0.08\\

Hence, the required probability is 0.08

(b).

When the occurrence of one event say A affects the occurrence of another event say B, than the two events are said to be dependent such that;

\\  &#10;P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B\setminus A)\\

Now, let event A = Sarah scores more than 175

and event B = Thomas scores more than 175

Thus, P(A)= Probability that Sarah scores more than 175 = 0.4

         P(B)= Probability that Thomas scores more than 175 = 0.2

and P(B|A) = Sarah scores more than Thomas given that Thomas scores more than 175 = 0.3

Thus, the required probability is calculated as follows;

\\  &#10;P(A\cap B)=P(A)\times P(B\setminus A)\\  &#10;P(A\cap B)=0.2\times 0.3=0.06
