Answer:

\frac{8}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of selecting a girl from students is \frac{4}{5}

probability of girl wearing sneaker from girls is \frac{4}{10} or \frac{2}{5}

hence, probability of selecting a girl wearing a sneaker will be,

⇒ probability = probability of delecting a girl from students × probability of girl wearing sneakers from girls

⇒ probability = (\frac{4}{5})( \frac{2}{5})

⇒ probability = \frac{8}{25}

A ball is thrown from a height of 43 meters
AveGali [126]
When the ball will hit the ground, the height will be zero. So we need to replace h with 0 in our equation, and solve for t:
0=43-4t-5t^{2}
-5t^{2}-4t+43=0
To solve this equation we are going to use the quadratic formula: t= \frac{-b(+/-) \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}.
From our height equation, we can infer that a=-5, b=-4, and c=43. So lets replace those values in our quadratic formula to find t
t= \frac{-(-4)(+/-) \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(-5)(43)} }{2(-5)}
t=- \frac{5}{8} - \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8} or t=- \frac{5}{8} + \frac{ \sqrt{713} }{8}
t=-3.96 or t=2.71
Since time cannot be negative, t=2.71 is the solution of our equation.

We can conclude that the ball will hit the ground after 2.71 seconds.

Sam is packing gift boxes with fruit. For each apple he packs 3 plums and 5 oranges. If he puts 3 apples in a box, how many plum
Musya8 [376]
You can make an equation.

Let x=oranges
p=plums
n=apples

n= 3p + 5x

So basically we know 1 Apple means Sam will pack 3 plums and 5 oranges

To get 3n which means 3 apples we have to multiply the whole equation by 3


(n= 3p + 5x) x3


3n=9p+15x

So Sam will also put 9 plums and 15 oranges if he puts 3 apples in the box

8.5b−3.4∙(13a−3.2b)+a
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

8.5b - 3.4(13a - 3.2b) + a = 19.4b - 43.2a

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a simple mathematical problem with multiple like terms. We can solve it by applying basic mathematical rules of multiplication and addition/subtration.

8.5b - 3.4(13a - 3.2b) + a

= 8.5b - 3.4*13a -3.4*(-3.2b) + a

= 8.5b - 3.4*13a + 3.4*3.2b + a

= 8.5b - 44.2a + 10.88 b + a

Now, only like terms can be added to each other

= (8.5b + 10.9b) + (a - 44.2a)

= 19.4b + (-43.2a)

= 19.4b - 43.2a
