|\Omega|=8!\\
|A|=3!\cdot5!\\\\
P(A)=\dfrac{3!5!}{8!}=\dfrac{2\cdot3}{6\cdot7\cdot8}=\dfrac{1}{56}\approx1,8\%

frutty [35]
For this case we have the following equation:
 w = 0.9* \sqrt{E}
 Where,
 w: The weight of a spring in pounds
 E: the energy stored by the spring in joules.
 Substituting values we have:
 w = 0.9* \sqrt{12}
 Making the corresponding calculation:
 w=3.12
 Answer:
 
the approximate weight of the spring in pounds is:
 
w=3.12

This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, that are longer than the length of the base, b. The perimeter of the t
LuckyWell [14K]
Isosollese triangle has 2 equal sides that are longer than legnth of base
perimiter=15.7
equation is 2a+b=15.7
so if the longer side is 6.3, wat is legnth of base
we know that identical sides are bigger so 6.3 is one of the identical sides
2a means the 2 idneical sides
2(6.3)+b=15.7
12.6+b=15.7
subtract 12.6 from btohs ides
b=3.1
answer is base=3.1 cm

Kara starts tying a baby quilt at the local community center. Each quilt takes 200 ties to complete. Ten minutes later Julie joi
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a) K(t)=6\frac{tie}{min}(t)

b)J(t)=11\frac{tie}{min}(t)

c)T_{f}(t)=K(t+10)+J(t) where T_{f}(t)= number ties finished per unit time

d) t≅8.24min

e) K=109tie

   J=91tie

f) K≅16.6min

  J≅9.09min

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Kara_{(K)}=6\frac{tie}{min}\\Julie(J)=11\frac{tie}{min}

Kara begins ten minutes before julie, so when julie joins kara she has 60 ties

t=10 k=6\frac{tie}{min}*10min=60tie

a) K(t)=6\frac{tie}{min}(t)

b)J(t)=11\frac{tie}{min}(t)

c)T_{f}(t)=K(t+10)+J(t) where T_{f}(t)= number ties finished per unit time

d) if kara already has 60 ties and makes 6 per minute and Julie makes 11 per minute then per minute they makes 17 ties, so one minute per 17 ties for 200 ties ¿how long?. t=\frac{(200-60)tie*min}{17tie}≅8.24min

e) K=60tie+6tie/min*8.24min=109tie

   J=11tie/min*8.24min=91tie

f) K=100tie*min/6tie≅16.6min

  J=100tie*min/11tie≅9.09min

Note: the amount of ties were rounded to the nearest decimal
