Answer:

Neither are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of legs = the number of ants * 6.

The relationship is L = 6 a   so neither are correct.

Answer: Both equations are incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ants have 6 legs:

The equation of Elena is:

a = 6*L

where a is ants and L is legs.

this equation says that are equal number of ants tan 6 times the number of legs, this is is not the case;

the number of legs is six times the number of ants, because each ant has 6 legs: L =6*a

the Andre equation is:

L = 0.166*a

Which, again, it is incorrect.

in this case the equation should be:

a = 0.166*L

and the ratio of ants to legs is 1:6 wich means that there is one ant for each 6 legs.

Both options are incorrect

For a certain​ candy, 15​% of the pieces are​ yellow, 1010​% are​ red, 2020​% are​ blue, 55​% are​ green, and the rest are brown
MatroZZZ [7]
A) the probability it is brown would be 50%; the probability it is yellow or blue would be 35%; the probability it is not green is 95%; the probability it is striped is 0%.
B) the probability of all brown would be 12.5%; the probability that the third one is the first red one drawn is 8.1%; the probability that none are yellow is 61.4%; the probability that at least one is green is 14.3%.

Explanation:
A) The probability that it is brown is the percentage of brown we have.  Brown is not listed, so we subtract what we are given from 100%:
100-(15+10+20+5) = 100-(50) = 50%.  The probability that one drawn is yellow or blue would be the two percentages added together:  15+20 = 35%.  The probability that it is not green would be the percentage of green subtracted from 100:  100-5=95%.  Since there are no striped candies listed, the probability is 0%.
B) Since we have an infinite supply of candy, we will treat these as independent events.  All 3 being brown is found by taking the probability that one is brown and multiplying it 3 times:
0.5*0.5*0.5 = 0.125 = 12.5%.  
To find the probability that the first one that is red is the third one drawn, we take the probability that it is NOT red, 100-10 = 90% = 0.9, for the first two, and the probability that it IS red, 10% = 0.1, for the last:
0.9*0.9*0.1 = 0.081 = 8.1%.

The probability that none are yellow is found by raising the probability that the first one is not yellow, 100-15=85%=0.85, to the third power:

0.85^3 = 0.614 = 61.4%.

The probability that at least one is green is computed by subtracting 1-(probability of no green).  We first find the probability that all three are NOT green:
0.95^3 = 0.857375
1-0.857375 = 0.143 = 14.3%.

Al purchases a speedboat costing $24,500. State taxes are 5.5% and federal excise tax is 13%. What is the total purchase price?
trapecia [35]

Answer: The total purchase price is $ 29,032

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem you have to solve the percentages of each taxes first.

So :

  • state taxes =$24,500 × 5.5% = $1,347.5
  • federal tax = $24,500 × 13% = $3,185

The next step is adding the taxes results to the speedboat cost.

so:

speedboat = $24,500

speedboat + taxes = $24,500 + $1,347.5 +$3,185 = $29,032

The total purchse price for the speedboat is $29,032.

Roberto wants to display his 18 sports cards in an album. Some pages hold 2 cards and others hold 3 cards. How many different wa
Ratling [72]
<span>65 = number of different arrangements of 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card slots equals 18. 416,154,290,872,320,000 = number of different ways of arranging 18 cards on the above 65 different arrangements of page sizes. ===== This is a rather badly worded question in that some assumptions aren't mentioned. The assumptions being: 1. The card's are not interchangeable. So number of possible permutations of the 18 cards is 18!. 2. That all of the pages must be filled. Since the least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, that means that 2 pages of 3 cards can only be interchanged with 3 pages of 2 cards. So with that said, we have the following configurations. 6x3 card pages. Only 1 possible configuration. 4x3 cards and 3x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 7!/4!3! = 35 different ways. 2x3 cards and 6x2 cards. These pages can be arranged in 8!/2!6! = 28 ways 9x2 card pages. These can only be arranged in 1 way. So the total number of possible pages and the orders in which that they can be arranged is 1+35+28+1 = 65 possible combinations. Now for each of those 65 possible ways of placing 2 and 3 card pages such that the total number of card spaces is 18 has to be multiplied by the number of possible ways to arrange 18 cards which is 18! = 6402373705728000. So the total amount of arranging those cards is 6402373705728000 * 65 = 416,154,290,872,320,000</span>
