20+5=25 then 25-4.67=20.33 so then you do 20.33/4.5=4.5 so the cost for one pound of fruit is $4.57. Hope this helps :)

A piece of equipment moves 16.8 yards in 12 minutes how many feet does it move per second?

I am Lyosha [343]

convert yards to feet and minutes to seconds

1yard=3ft

16.8yards times 3ft/1yd=50.4ft

1minute=60 seconds

12minutes times 60seconds/1min=720seconds

feet per second=50.4ft/720sec=0.07ft/sec

Mathew rolls a number cube labeled with the numbers 1−6. He then flips a fair coin. What is the probability that he rolls a 4 an

kap26 [50]

Answer: 0.083

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers on cube=6

faces on coin=2

Therefore, the total outcomes= $6\times2=12$

Now, the favorable outcome that he rolls a 4 and flips a head=1

The probability that he rolls a 4 and flips a head= $\frac{\text{favorable outcome}}{\text{total outcome}}$

⇒The probability that he rolls a 4 and flips a head= $\frac{1}{12}$ =0.083333\approx0.83.

Therefore, The probability that he rolls a 4 and flips a head=0.083
