The lights go out, your bedroom is pitch dark, yet you still need to find a pair of socks, in your drawer there is 25 white socks and 25 red socks how many socks do you need to pull out before you get a matching pair?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: At most 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 25 white socks and 25 red socks, a matching pair would be picked in at most 3 times.

The first sock you pick would be either White or Red

The second sock you pick would be either white or red again which means that you now either have 2 whites, 2 reds or 1 white and 1 red.

The third sock you pick will either be white or red once more. At this point you will either have 3 whites, 3 reds, 2 whites and 1 red or 2 reds and 1 white.

You will therefore have at least a matching pair after 3 tries.

Answers

Answer:

i = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2i - 3 = 2(6 - i) + 7i ← distribute and simplify right side

2i - 3 = 12 - 2i + 7i

2i - 3 = 12 + 5i ( subtract 5i from both sides )

- 3i - 3 = 12 ( add 3 to both sides )

- 3i = 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

The parallelogram shown below has an area of 21 units?.
7
b
8
Find the missing base.
b=
units

Answers

Answer:

The missing base b is 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallelogram has two different bases, b1 and b2Each base has a height perpendicular to it from the base parallel to ith1 is the height of b1 and h2 is the height of b2The formula of the area of the parallelogram is A = b1 × h1 = b2 × h2

Let us solve the problem

In the given figure

The given figure is a parallelogram

∵ The line of length 7 is perpendicular to the base that parallels to base b

∵ The base b has a height of 7 units

→ By using the formula of the area above

∵ A = b1 × h1

b1 = b and h1 = 7 units

∵ The parallelogram has an area of 21 square units

A = 21

→ Substitute the value of A and h in the rule of the area

21 = b × 7

∴ 21 = 7b

→ Divide both sides by 7

3 = b

The missing base b is 3 units

Use the number line below, where RS = 6y + 3, ST = 4y + 7, and RT = 60.​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

RS + ST = RT

6y + 3 + 4y + 7 = 60

6y + 4y + 3 + 7 = 60

       10y + 10   = 60

                  10y = 60 - 10

                 10y = 50

                    y = 50/10

y = 5

RS = 6*5 + 3 = 30 +3 = 33

ST = 4*5 + 7 = 20 + 7 = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

[Diagram in image attached]

RS + ST = RT

(6y +3) + (4y + 7) = 60

6y + 3 + 4y + 7 = 60

10y + 10 = 60

10y = 60 - 10

10y = 50

y = 50/10

y = 5

RS = 6y +3 = 6(5) + 3 = 30 + 3 = 33

ST = 4y +7 = 4(5) + 7 = 20 + 7 = 27

RT = 60

{RS + ST = RT

33 + 27 = 60}

Lee read 1/6 of book on monday and another 1/3 of it on tuesday ,he took another 4 days to finish reading the book he read the same number of pages on each of the days ,what fraction of the book did he read on each of these days?

Answers

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

The total fraction of the book read = 1

The remaining 4 days be represented as= x

Hence:

1 = Fraction of book read on Monday + Fraction of the book read on Tuesday + Fraction of the book on the remaining 4 days

1 = 1/6+ 1/3 + x

x = 1 - (1/6+ 1/3)

x = 1 - (1 + 2/6)

x = 1 - (3/6)

x = 1 - 1/2

x = 1/2

The fraction of the book read in 4 days = 1/2

To calculate the fraction of the book read on each of the days, since he read the same number of pages on each of the days we have:

1/2 ÷ 4 days

= 1/2 × 1/4

= 1/8

Therefore, the fraction of the book that was read on each of the 4 days is 1/8

Both widths are the same in a rectangle. So both are 6.5. Then you subtract 13 from 34. Now you are left with 21. No divide that by two to get your two lengths. That is l. L=10.5

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2L+2W

P=34        W= 6.5

34=2L+2*6.5

34=2L+13

2L=21

L=10.5

or

Given:

P = 34 [Perimeter]

W = 6.5 {let's use W and L to make it easy to read]

Also known:

P = W + L + W + L = 2(W+L)

Fill in values:

34 = 2(6.5+L) [NOTE: This is an equation to determine the length (L) of the rectangle."]

. . .

17 = 6.5 + L [NOTE: This is a simplified form of the above equation.]

. . .

10.5 = L [NOTE: This is the solution (the value of L)]

determnine if each table shown below represents a function or not.

Answers

Answer:

Table 1 does not represent a function.

Table 2 does not represent a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                 Table 1

Input (x)               1             3          5              5           9        

Output (y)             7            16         19             20       28

We know that a function is a relation where each input or x-value of the X set has a unique y-value or output of the Y set.

In other words, we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Table 1 indicates that x = 5 is repeated twice. In other words, the input x = 5 is duplicated and we know that we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Therefore, table 1 does not represent a function.

                                              Table 2

Input (x)               0.5         7          7               12        15      

Output (y)              1           15         10             23        30

We know that a function is a relation where each input or x-value of the X set has a unique y-value or output of the Y set.

In other words, we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Table 2 indicates that x = 7 is repeated twice. In other words, the input x = 7 is duplicated and we know that we can not have duplicated inputs as there should be only 1 output for each input.

Therefore, table 2 does not represent a function.

Conclusion:

We have concluded that both tables do not represent the function.

The number of trees in a rainforest decreases each month by 0.5%. The forest currently has 2.5 billion trees. Which expression represents how many trees will be left in 10 years.

Answers

Given:

Present number of trees = 2.5 billions

Rate of decrease = 0.5% per month

To find:

The expression that represents how many trees will be left in 10 years?

Solution:

Exponential decay model:

[tex]P(t)=a(1-r)^t[/tex]         ...(i)

where, a is initial value, r is decreasing rate and t is time period.

We have,

a = 2.5 billions

r = 0.5% = 0.005 per month

t = 10 years = 120 months                         [1 year = 12 months]

Putting a=2.5, r=0.005 and t=120 in (i), we get

[tex]P(120)=2.5(1-0.005)^{120}[/tex]

[tex]P(120)=2.5(0.995)^{120}[/tex]

[tex]P(120)=1.3699657[/tex]

[tex]P(120)\approx 1.37[/tex]

Therefore, the required expression is [tex]2.5(1-0.005)^{120}[/tex] and the remaining trees after 10 years is about 1.37 billions.
