A bag contains 5 pieces of string. The lengths of the pieces of string are 1 inch, 3 inches, 5 inches, 7 inches, and 9 inches. Suppose you pick three pieces of string from the bag at random and all pieces are equally likely to be chosen. What is the probability you can form a triangle with the three pieces

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 possible combinations of sticks that can be drawn from a group of 5 strings

 

5C3 = (5*4*3)/(3*2)   = 10 combinations, which are

1,3,5 ; 1,3,7 ; 1,3,9 ; 1,5,7 ; 1,5,9 ; 1,7,9 ; 3,5,7 ; 3,5,9 ; 3,7,9 ; 5,7,9

 

to make a triangle, the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side and if you look at the possible combinations there are only three cases where that is true

 

so the probability for drawing three sticks that would make a triangle is 3/10 or 30%

Change:

7h10= 430 mins

1 hour and 25 minutes= 85 mins

2 hours and 5 mintues= 125 mins

- Total time Ruth wants to do before his dinner reservations:

85+ 125+ 50= 260 (mins)

- The latest time Ruth's family can start their tour in order to make it to dinner on time:

18. If the ratio of males to females in each
of two different mathematics classes
is 5 to 4, is the ratio of males to
females still 5 to 4 if the classes were
considered as one large class instead
of two smaller classes?
Ra

Answers

Answer:

Yes, the ratio is still 5:4.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have a class of 5 males and 4 females, both numbers can be multiplied to get an even bigger class but the same ratio.

For example:

5 x 5 = 25 males

4 x 5 = 20 females

The amount of males to females is 25:20 when simplified (divided by 5) gets you back to your ratio of 5:4. You also can't go under this because the two don't have a way to get simplified without going into decimals. And I don't think decimals are very good with the number of students.

What is the sum of the reciprocals of all the factors of 24. Both 1 and 24 are

A: 59/24
B: 5/2
C: 65/24
D: 53/24
E: 41/24

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

1+2+3+4+6+8+12+24=60

60/24=5/2

so,B is the answer

The sum of all the reciprocals of the factors of 24 is 5/2.

What is fraction?

An element of a whole is a fraction. The number is represented mathematically as a quotient, where the numerator and denominator are split. Both are integers in a simple fraction. A fraction appears in the numerator or denominator of a complex fraction. The numerator of a proper fraction is less than the denominator.

The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24.

The reciprocals of all the factors of 24 are;

1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/24

The sum of all the factors of 24:

1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/8 + 1/12 + 1/24

Take LCM of the fractions:

1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/8 + 1/12 + 1/24

= (24 + 12 + 8 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1) / 24

1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/8 + 1/12 + 1/24

= 60 / 24

Hence, the fraction:

1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/8 + 1/12 + 1/24

= 5/2

Therefore, 5/2 is the sum of all the reciprocals of the factors of 24.

Answers

Answer:

(√366 - 3)/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

cos∝ = √3/8 and sinβ = √3/3

Sin(∝-β) = sin∝cosβ - cos∝sinβ

Get sin∝

Since cos∝ = √3/8

adj = √3

hyp = 8

opp = √8² - (√3)²

opp = √64 - 3

opp = √61

Recall that sin∝ = opp/hyp  

sin∝ = √61/8

Get cosβ

Since sinβ =  √3/3

opp = √3

hyp = 3

adj =√3² - (√3)²

adj = √9-3

adj = √6

Recall that cosβ = adj/hyp

cosβ = √6/3

Substitute the gotten values into the formula

Sin(∝-β) = sin∝cosβ - cos∝sinβ

Sin(∝-β) = ( √61/8)(√6/3)- (√3/8)(√3/3)

Sin(∝-β) = √366/24 - √9/24

Sin(∝-β) = (√366 - 3)/24

Find the amount and the compound interest on rupees 5000 for 2 years at 6% per annum, Interest payable yearly. Answer with full steps and formula NO BAD ANSWERS REQUIRED :D

Answers

Answer:

I. Amount = 5618 Rupees

II. Compound interest = 618 Rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;Principal = 5000 RupeesTime = 2 yearsInterest rate = 6%

To find the compound interest;

Mathematically, compound interest is calculated using the formula;

A = P(1 + r)^t

Where;

A is the future value.P is the principal or starting amount.r is annual interest rate.t is the number of years for the compound interest.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

A = 5000(1 + 0.06)^2

A = 5000(1.06)^2

A = 5000 * 1.1236

A = 5618 Rupees

Next, we would determine the compound interest using the formula;

C.I = A - P

C.I = 5618 - 5000

Compound interest (C.I) = 618 Rupees

Can you find the area of the figure?

Answers

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

First I found the area of the triangle on the right

A = bh/2

A = (9)(4.5) / 2

A = 20.25 ft^2

Next, the area of the rectangle in the middle

A = lw

A = (7.5)(9)

A = 67.5 ft^2

And now the area of the right triangle on the left

A = bh/2

A = (5)(9) / 2

A = 22.5 ft^2

Add em all up : 20.25 + 67.5 + 22.5 = 110.25 ft^2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy pythagorean theorum question.

The law states that "A squared plus B squared, equals C squared."

A and B are the two sides that border the 90 degree mark.

C is the hypotenuse or the longest side/diagonal.

Since we know C and A (I chose to use A because why not) we can fill in the equation with what we know

2^2 + ?^2 = [tex]\sqrt{13^{2} }[/tex]

So

4 + ?^2 = [tex]\sqrt{13^{2} }[/tex]

Since the 13 is already squared in side of a root, it stays as 13

4 + x^2 = 13

4 - 4 + x^2 = 13 - 4

x^2 = 9

x^2 root = root of 9

x = 3

The missing side is 3.

We require 2 equations with the repeating digits 39 placed after the decimal point.

let x = 0.43939... ( multiply both sides by 10 and 1000 )

10x = 4.3939... → (1)

1000x = 439.3939... → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) eliminating the repeating digits

990x = 435 ( divide both sides by 990 )

x = [tex]\frac{435}{990}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{29}{66}[/tex] ← in simplest form
