John's sister is twice his age. In 5 years the sum of their ages will be 31. How old are John and his sister now? Briefly explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Like usual, we can solve this question using an equation. Let’s assume that John’s age is x, and his sister’s age is y.

x = 2y

To figure out John’s age, we need to know his sister’s age. He’s 2 times older than his sister.

x + y = 27

The sum of their ages is 27, and we can substitute the value of x here to figure out y.

2y + y = 27

We can now simplify this, and get y by itself.

3y = 27

Now, we can divide by 3 to get the y by itself.

y = 9

We now know that John’s sister is 9.

Now, using our original equation, we can substitute in the value of y.

x = 2(9)

We can simplify this.

x = 18

John’s age is 18!

Hope this helps.

g Benton Industries manufactures carpets and draperies in the Atlanta area. Employee absenteeism was becoming a problem, so HR conducted a study involving a random sample of employees. The number of absences during the past year was tabulated by marital status. What is the probability that an employee is not married and has between 1 and 5 absences in the past year

Answers

Answer:

The probability that an employee is not married and has between 1 and 5 absences in the past year is 0.204.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event, say E is the ratio of the favorable number of outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

[tex]P(E)=\frac{n (E)}{N}[/tex]

The number of absences during the past year tabulated by marital status is as follows:

Marital Status      0 Absences     1 - 5 Absences     More than 5 Absences

  Married                     100                     98                              52

Not Married                  77                     102                              71

Compute the probability that an employee is not married and has between 1 and 5 absences in the past year as follows:

[tex]P(\text{NM}\cap 1-5\ \text{Absences})=\frac{n(\text{NM}\cap 1-5\ \text{Absences})}{N}[/tex]

                                       [tex]=\frac{102}{100+98+52+77+102+71}\\\\=\frac{102}{500}\\\\=0.204[/tex]

Thus, the probability that an employee is not married and has between 1 and 5 absences in the past year is 0.204.

Six adult tickets to a movie at the theater cost
$52.50. Find the price for one ticket.

Answers

Answer:

$8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost is $52.50. And you got eight "items". So you would do $52.50 divided by 8. This would give you the cost of one item/ticket

Select the correct answer.
Which equation is equivalent to the given equation?
–8(x + 13) = 2(1 – 7) + 4x

A -80 + 13 = -2x + 14
-8x + 13 = 6x - 7
-8x - 104 = 60 – 14
-8x - 104 = -2.3 + 14

Answers

Answer:

C. -8x-104=6x-14

Step-by-step explanation:

–8(x + 13) = 2(x – 7) + 4x

-8x-104=2x-14+4x

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is 15.4 and the height of the pyramid is 13.1. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.

Answers

Answer: 69.3

Explanation: So if the height is 13.1, that means that the length is 2.3. And to find volume, you do length times width times height. So the width would be 2.3 because it is a even square if that makes since. Now 2.3 times 2.3 is 5.29. Now we multiply 5.29 by 13.1. The answer is 69.299. Now we round this to the nearest tenth, so the answer would be 69.3.

The requried volume of the pyramid is 64.9 cubic meters.

What is volume?

Volume is defined as the mass of the object per unit density while for geometry it is calculated as profile area multiplied by the length at which that profile is extruded.

The first step is to find the area of the square base. Since the perimeter of the base is 15.4, each side of the square has a length of:

15.4 / 4 = 3.85

Therefore, the area of the base is:

A = (3.85)² = 14.8225 square meters

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula:

V = (1/3) * A * h

where A is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid. Substituting the values given in the problem, we get:

V = (1/3) * 14.8225 * 13.1

V = 64.91925 cubic meters

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter, we get:

V ≈ 64.9 cubic meters

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 64.9 cubic meters.

Alice and her two sisters, Betty and Carol, are avid tennis players. Betty is the best of the three sisters, and Carol plays at the same level as Alice. Alice defeats Carol 50% of the time but only defeats Betty 40% of the time. Alice’s mother offers to give her $100 if she can win two consecutive games when playing three alternating games against her two sisters. Since the games will alternate, Alice has two possibilities for the sequence of opponents. One possibility is to play the first game against Betty, followed by a game with Carol, and then another game with Betty. We will refer to this sequence as BCB. The other possible sequence is CBC.
Calculate the probability of Alice getting the $100 reward if she chooses the sequence CBC.

Answers

Answer:

0.484

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Alice defeats Carol 50% of the time.

This implies that, the probability of defeating Carol = 0.5

Also the probability of losing to Carol = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

Similarly, Alice defeats Betty 40% of the time.

The probability of Alice defeating Betty = 0.4 and the  probability of losing to Betty = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

However, in as much as Alice needs to win two consecutive games, the sequence which satisfies this condition are as follows:

Let W represent Win and L represent L.

Then the conditions are WWW, WWL and LWW

Since the outcome of each game is independent of the other games.

Then, the probability that Alice wins two games against Carol CBC is:

Pr(2W - CBC) = (0.5 × 0.4 × 0.5) + ( 0.5 × 0.4 × 0.5) + ( 0.5 × 0.4 × 0.5)

Pr(2W - CBC) = 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1

Pr(2W - CBC) = 0.3

The probability that Alice wins two games against Betty (BCB) is:

Pr(2W - BCB) = (0.4 × 0.5 × 0.4) + (0.6 × 0.5 × 0.4) + ( 0.4 × 0.5 × 0.6)

Pr(2W - BCB) =  0.08 + 0.12 + 0.12

Pr(2W - BCB) = 0.32

However, the Probability of winning two consecutive games is the result of the addition of the probability of winning two consecutive games in the sequence CBC together with the probability of winning two consecutive games in the sequence of BCB.

i.e.

Pr(2W) = Pr(2W- CBC) + Pr(2W - BCB)

Pr(2W) = 0.3+0.32

Pr(2W) = 0.62

Finally, to calculate the probability that Alice will get $100 if she chooses the sequence CBC is:

[tex]\dfrac{Pr(2W -CBC)}{Pr(2W)}= \dfrac{0.3}{0.62}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{Pr(2W -CBC)}{Pr(2W)}= 0.484}[/tex]

Alice walks along a road which can be modeled by the equation y=6x, where (0,0) represents her starting point. When she reaches a certain point A, she turns right, so that she is traveling perpendicular to the original road, until she stops at the point (333,0). What was the point A where Alice turned?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (9, 54)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first road has a slope of 6 on its graph. So, the perpendicular road will have a slope of -1/6, the negative reciprocal of the slope of the original road. Translating that from y=-1/6x the the right by 333 units, the equation of the second road is ...

  y = -1/6(x -333)

The point where Alice turned is the point of intersection of these two equations:

y = 6xy = -1/6(x -333)

Substituting for y, we have ...

  6x = -1/6(x -333)

  36x = -x +333 . . . . . multiply by 6, eliminate parentheses

  37x = 333 . . . . . . . .  add x

  x = 9 . . . . . . .  divide by 37

So, the point where Alice turned is ...

  (x, y) = (9, 6·9)

  (x, y) = (9, 54)
