Answer:

20\ ducklings

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of ducklings

y------> the number of adult ducks

we know that

x+y=24 ------> equation A

\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{1}

so

x=5y

y=0.20x ------> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A

x+0.20x=24

1.20x=24

x=20\ ducklings

A football quarterback enjoys practicing his long passes over 40 yards. He misses the first pass 40% of the time. When he misses
dangina [55]

Answer:

8% or 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of missing the first pass = 40% = 0.40

Probability of missing the second pass = 20% = 0.20

We have to find the probability that he misses both the passes. Since the two passes are independent of each other, the probability that he misses two passes will be:

Probability of missing 1st pass x Probability of missing 2nd pass

i.e.

Probability of missing two passes in a row = 0.40 x 0.20 = 0.08 = 8%

Thus, there is 8% probability that he misses two passes in a row.

. A condo in Orange Beach, Alabama, listed for $1.4 million with 20% down and financing at 5% for 30 years. What is the monthly
vovikov84 [41]
Listed price = $1.4 million
Down payment = 20% of $1.4 million = 0.2 x 1,400,000 = 280,000
Amount left to pay = $1.4 million - 280,000 = $1,120,000
Present value of an annuity is given by PV = P(1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt) / r
where: PV = $1,120,000
r = 5% = 0.05
t = 12
n = 30 years.
1,120,000 = P(1 - (1 + 0.05/12)^-(12 x 30)) / 0.05
1,120,000 x 0.05 = P(1 - (1 + 1/240)^-360)
56,000 = P(1 - 0.2238)
P = 56,000 / 0.7761 = 72,148.83
Therefore, the monthly payment is $72,148.83
