A bag contains one green marble, two yellow marbles, four blue marbles and five red marbles. How many blue marbles would you need to add to make the probability of drawing a blue marble 1/2?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

You would have to add 4 blue marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

there are a total of 12 marbles, 4 of them being blue.

If you add 4 blue ones, there would be a total of 16 marbles and 8 of them would be blue.

8/16 = 1/2

Therefore, 4 blue marbles need to be added for the chance to draw one to be 1/2 or 50%

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is 1 green, 2 yellow, 4 blue, and 5 red we start with 12 marbles. For the probability of picking a blue to be 1/2 we must satisfy.

(b+x)/(12+x)=1/2. (Where x is the number of blue marbles added)

2(b+x)=12+x

2b+2x=12+x

2b+x=12

x=12-2b, since we started with 4 blue marbles

x=12-2(4)

x=12-8

x=4

So we would need to add 4 blue marbles to make the probability of picking a blue 1/2.

A cylinder has a height of 4 yards. Its volume is 452.16 cubic yards. What is the radius of the cylinder?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

V = π times r^2 times h (height)

452.16 = 3.14 times r^2 times 4

Multiply 3.14 times 4

452.16 = 12.56 times r^2

Divide 452.16 by 12.56.

452.16 / 12.56 = 36

36 = r^2

The square root of 36 is 6.

So the radius of the cylinder is 6 yards^3.

For 5 months Tomas buys 4 boxes of crunchy granola bars and 3 boxes of chewy granola bars for his family.
Crunchy bars come in x bars and chewy granola bars come in y bars. Which two expressions can be used to
show the total number of granola bars Tomas buys.

Answers

x bars <4> and y bars come in <3>

Answer:

5(4x + 3y) = 20x + 15y

Step-by-step explanation:

The matter of months in which in this case is 5 months is the coefficient.

The amount of boxes per month is important information. We don't know how many bars are in each box. EACH is a key word for multiplying. If we want to know quickly how many bars are in 4 boxes (or 3) of the granola bars. We can simply multiply the amount of bars for each box with the amount of boxes. Since we don't know the amount  of bars there are in each box we are going to use a variable. so it would look like this- 4x + 3y BUT we need to add the coefficient. Now rewrite the expression. 5(4x + 3y)

We can use the distributive property to generate an equal expression.

A group of seven people went to an amusement park and spent $234 on tickets. If
a child's ticket costs $28 each and an adult ticket costs $37.50 each, how many
adult tickets and how many child tickets were purchased?

Answers

Answer:

3 adult tickets and 4 child tickets were bought.

Answer:

4 adult tickets and 3 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

So doing 234/7 gives you 33.428... which means its not all just children or adults. (I know that's common sense but it's best to do this anyway to further justify your answer)

The total cost for all 7 people shows that there must be an even amount of adult tickets to end up with a whole number so either 2, 4, or 6 adults.

2 adults = $75

4 adults = $150

6 adults = $225

Now we can use these possibilities to figure out if the left over child tickets added to the adult tickets would equal $234. (quick note: I am using # to show that it doesn't equal $234)

If 2 adults = $75, 5 children = $140, $140+$75 = $215 # $234

If 4 adults = £150, 3 children = $84, $84+$150 = $234

Now because we have already figured out that it would be 4 adult tickets and 3 child tickets, we wouldn't need to figure out 6 adult tickets and 1 child ticket, but, again, this would justify your answer and help to secure your marks.

If 6 adults = $225, 1 child = 28, $28+$225 = $253 # $234

I hope this answer helped you out and if you have any questions I'd be happy to help :)

We need to find the value of f(1).

Put x = 1 in the above expression.

f(1) = 2(1)-6

So, the value of f(1) is equal to -4.
