Xavier can paint the average house in 4 hours, while Mohamad can do it in 12 hours. Find the number of hours, $$, that it would take to paint a house if they both worked together.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Xavier can paint the average house in 4 hours

This means that in 1 hour, Xavier paints 1/4 of the house

Mohamad can do it in 12 hours

That means in 1 hour, Mohamad paints 1/12 of the house

Hence,

Together the amount of the house they can paint in 1 hour is

1/4 + 1/12

The Least common denominator is 12

(3 × 1 + 1 × 1)/1#

= 3 + 1/12

= 4/12

= 1/3

Together they can paint 1/3 of the house

The number of hours, that it would take to paint a house if they both worked together is

= 1/3 = 1

Cross Multiply

= 3 × 1

= 3 hours

Approximate answer in decimal form = 0.010989

Approximate answer in percent form = 1.0989%

=====================================================

Explanation:

Let's think of the problem another way.

Let's say that we have 14 ping pong balls labeled 1 through 14. Furthermore, lets set up the first four balls {1,2,3,4} to be labeled with a star sticker. The rest don't have a star. The star stickers indicate a winning ball. All of the ping pong balls are then put into a bag where we will randomly pull out 3 of them. Replacements will not be made (ie the ball won't be put back). The goal is to get 3 star stickers in a row.

One possible combination is {1,2,7} which is close but not a winner since that 7 is there. Another possible combination is {5,8,12} which is not even close to a winner (since we didn't get 1,2,3 or 4).

---------

We have two questions we need to answer:

How many possible combinations are there? How many combinations are a winner?

We'll use the nCr combination formula

[tex]_nC_r = \frac{n!}{r!*(n-r)!}[/tex]

We use the combination formula, instead of the permutation formula, because order does not matter. Something like {1,2,7} is the same as {7,1,2}.

If you plug in n = 14 and r = 3, you should find that 14 C 3 = 364.

I'll list the steps in the attached image below (to save space here).

This means there are 364 different ways to play the game. In other words, there are 364 ways to pull out three ping pong balls.

---------

That wraps up question 1. Now onto question 2.

We have 4 winning balls and 3 slots to fill, so we will plug n = 4 and r = 3 into the combination formula. I'll skip the steps because they're fairly similar to earlier. You could also use Pascal's Triangle to help. Whichever method you use, you should find that 4 C 3 = 4.

note: we have 4 winning balls and 3 slots to fill, so you can think of it like "how many ways are there to not choose a ball?" and that answer would be 4.

So this means there are 4 ways to win the game.

------------------------------------

In summary so far, we found

There are 364 ways to play the gameThere are 4 ways to win the game

This means the probability of winning is 4/364 = 1/91

Use your calculator to find that 1/91 = 0.010989 approximately which converts over to the approximate percentage of 1.0989%

Arunner jogs 2 mi 120.3 yd. how far does the runner jog in meters?
round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter.
conversion ratios:
1 m = 3.3 ft
3 ft = 1 yd
5,280 ft = 1 mi
1,760 yd = 1 mi
?

Answers

Answer:

To the nearest tenth of a meter, this is 3,309.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to convert the jogging distance to meters only

we have 2 miles 120.3 yards

5,280 ft = 1 mile

2 miles will be 5,280 * 2 = 10,560 ft

3 ft = 1 yard

x ft = 120.3 yards

x = 120.3 * 3 = 360.9 ft

Adding both together to give ft only, we have

360.9 + 10,560 = 10,920.9 ft

1 m = 3.3 ft

x m = 10,920.9 ft

x = 10,920.9/3.3

x = 3,309.363636363636

To the nearest tenth of a meter, this is 3,309.4 m

Insert a rational number between 1/2 and 1/3 by mean method?​

[tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a rational number by the mean method.

Add the 2 fractions and divide the result by 2

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

To add the fractions we require them to have a common denominator.

The LCM of 2 and 3 is 6 ← required common denominator

Multiply numerator/denominator of first fraction by 3

Multiply numerator/denominator of second fraction by 2

= [tex]\frac{1(3)}{2(3)}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{1(2)}{3(2)}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex] ( add numerators, leaving denominator )

= [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Now divide by 2

[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] ÷ 2 leave first, change division to multiplication, turn second upside down )

= [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

This is the fraction midway between the 2 given fractions

There are 76 people signed up for a speedboat tour. Each speedboat can transfer 9 people. How many speedboats will be needed for the people who signed up?

Answers

Given:

Total number of people who signed up = 76

Each boat can transfer = 9 peoples

To find:

The number of boats required.

Solution:

We know that,

[tex]\text{Required number of boats}=\dfrac{\text{Total number of peoples}}{\text{Number of peoples transferred by each boat}}[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

[tex]\text{Required number of boats}=\dfrac{76}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Required number of boats}=8.44...[/tex]

Number of required boats must be a whole number. So, approximate the data to the next whole number.

[tex]\text{Required number of boats}=9[/tex]

Therefore, the required number of boats is 9.

What is the solution to
{y=14x+3y=2x+10

Answers

Answer:

The solution is ([tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{67}{6}[/tex])

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ y = 14x + 3 ⇒ (1)

∵ y = 2x + 10 ⇒ (2)

→ Equate equations (1) and (2) to find x

14x + 3 = 2x + 10

→ Subtract 2x from both sides

∴ 14x - 2x + 3 = 2x - 2x + 10

∴ 12x + 3 = 10

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ 12x + 3 - 3 = 10 - 3

∴ 12x = 7

→ Divide both sides by 12 to find x

∵ [tex]\frac{12x}{12}[/tex] [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]

→ Substitute the value of x in equation (1) or (2) to find y

∵ y = 2([tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]) + 10

∴ y = [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex] + 10

y = [tex]\frac{67}{6}[/tex]

The solution is ([tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{67}{6}[/tex])

You are playing a board game with your little sister. Moves are determined by rolling 2 six-sided dice. The red die tells you the direction of your move, and has 4 faces
that say "forward and 2 faces that say backward." The green die tells you how far to move, and has 1. 1. 2.2.3, and 4 on the faces. On your turn, what is the
probability that you move backward 2 spaces

Answers

Answer: The probability is 1/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's define the possible outcomes of each dice:

Red: Forward (4 times), Backward (2 times)

Green : {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4}

We want to find the probability of moving backward 2 spaces.

Then we need to find the probability of rolling a "backward" in the red dice, and a 2 in the green dice.

First, the probability of rolling a backward in the red dice is equal to the quotient between the number of outcomes that are "backward", and the total number of outcomes in the dice (there are 2 backwards and 6 outcomes in total), this is:

p1 = 2/6 = 1/3.

And the probability of rolling a 2 in the green dice is equal to the quotient between the number of outcomes with a 2, and the total number of outcomes. (The 2 appears two times, and there are 6 possible outcomes):

p2 = 2/6 = 1/3.

Now, the probability of both events happening at the same time is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, then the probability of moving backwards 2 spaces is:

P = p1*p2 = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9.

The probability of event A is 0.2 and probability of event B is 0.3. Given that A and B are independent, then the probability of A and B (A intersection B) is: Choose one • 10 points 5% 6% 9% 13%

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(A\ n\ B) = 6\%[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P(A) = 0.2[/tex]

[tex]P(B) = 0.3[/tex]

Required

Determine [tex]P(A\ n\ B)[/tex]

Since both events are independent;

[tex]P(A\ n\ B) = P(A) * P(B)[/tex]

[tex]P(A\ n\ B) = 0.2 * 0.3[/tex]

[tex]P(A\ n\ B) = 0.06[/tex]

Convert to %

[tex]P(A\ n\ B) = 0.06 * 100\%[/tex]

[tex]P(A\ n\ B) = 6\%[/tex]
