Jan is twice as old as her sister betty, but half of joe's age. betty just got married. how old is joe most likely to be?

Answers

Answer 1
For this algebraic problem, you have to assign variables so you can formulate equations to help you solve the problem. Let x be the age of Jan, y be the age of Betty and z be the age of Joe. You are to find the value of z. The equations would be:

x = 2y and x = 0.5z

Equating this two yields 2y = 0.5z. There are two variables but only one equation. Therefore, you have to specify one of the variables to be able to solve this problem. It was mentioned that Betty just got married. Let's assume that Betty's age was around 30 years old. Then, it follows that y=30. Substituting this to the final equation,

2(30) = 0.5z
z = 120 years old

This is impossible. Betty must have been married at an early age. Let's assume that Betty is 18 years old, then


2(18) = 0.5z
z = 72 years old

If Betty was 18 years old, then Joe is 72 years old. This is only an illustration to the problem. You must have introduced Betty's age to know the exact answer for Joe's age.

What is the algebraic expression for "the difference between seven times a number and three times that number"?

Answers

"seven times a number" =7x

"difference"= -

"three times a number" = 3x  so

7x-3x

Answer:

(C)7x-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given algebraic expression is:

"The difference between seven times a number and three times that number"

Let the number be equal to =x, then according to the statement, we have

seven times a number=7x and three times that number=3x

The difference between seven times a number and three times that number=7x-3x

which is the required algebraic expression.

Hence, option C is correct.

Which of the following is the coefficient in the algebraic expression 8x+z^2

Answers

8 would be the coefficient in this expression. It comes before the variable making it a coefficient.

Answer:

The coefficients are 8 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to know about algebraic expressions.

An algebraic expression is conformed by terms or only one term.

A term is just a variable with a coefficient. Also similar terms have the same variable but no always the same coefficient. Therefore if the algebraic expression has two terms, so there are two coefficients. The coefficient with value "1" is not necessary write it.

In this case, we have two terms:

"x" variable."z" variable.

So, we have two coefficients:

For x, the coefficient 8.For z, the coefficient 1.

Finally, the coefficients are 8 and 1.

Answer:  The required co-ordinates of the point S are (-11, -6).

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the co-ordinates of the point S that lies along the directed line segment from R(-14, -1) to T(4, -13) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 1:5.

We know that

the co-ordinates of a point that divides the line segment joining the points (a, b) and (c, d) in the ratio m : n is given by

[tex]\left(\dfrac{mc+na}{m+n},\dfrac{md+nb}{m+n}\right).[/tex]

According to the given information, we have

(a, b) = (-14, -1),  (c, d) = (4, -13)  and  m : n = 1 : 5.

Therefore, the co-ordinates of the point S are given by

[tex]\left(\dfrac{1\times4+5\times(-14)}{1+5},\dfrac{1\times(-13)+5\times(-1)}{}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{4-70}{6},\dfrac{-13-5}{6}\right)\\\\\\=\left(\dfrac{-66}{6},\dfrac{-18}{6}\right)\\\\=(-11,-3)[/tex]

Thus, the required co-ordinates of the point S are (-11, -6).

Your little brother just learned how to flip and catch a coin. He believes that by catching the coin in mid-air, he can influence the  probability that it will land heads up. Based on your understanding of theoretical probability, explain to your little brother why his theory of influence is false.

Answers

Answer explanation:

If a coin is fair then it has two faces , one is heads and the another is tails.

The probability getting any favorable outcomes is given by the formula :-

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]

So the factor effecting probability is just the number of  favorable outcomes and total outcomes.

If a coin is tossed then the probability of getting heads will be :-

[tex]P(H)=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.5=50\%[/tex]

To get heads always this should be 1 , which can be happen if number of  favorable outcomes is equal to total outcomes.

i.e. Number of heads = Number of total outcomes, this means coin should be biased.

Catching the coin in mid-air can never be a factor for this.

Therefore, the little brother's theory is false.

Answer:

Sample Response: The probability of a coin landing heads up is 1/2, or 50%. That fact will not change if the coin is caught in midair.

The triangle with measures 3 in., 4 in. and 5 in. made up right angle triangle.

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a three-sided polygon, which has three vertices. The three sides are connected with each other end to end at a point, which forms the angles of the triangle. The sum of all three angles of the triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

a) Given that, 3 in., 4 in. and 5 in.

By using Pythagoras theorem, we get

5²=3²+4²

25=9+16

25=25

So, the triangle is right triangle.

b) The given sides of triangle measures 5 in., 6 in. and 7 in.

To determine whether the triangle is acute, right, or obtuse, add the squares of the two smaller sides, and compare the sum to the square of the largest side.

7²<5²+6²

49<25+36

49<61

So, the triangle is acute angle triangle.

c) The given sides of triangle measures 8 in., 9 in. and 12 in.

12²>8²+9²

144>64+81

144>125

So, the triangle is obtuse angle triangle.

Therefore, the triangle with measures 3 in., 4 in. and 5 in. made up right angle triangle.

You are dealt two cards successively (without replacement) from a shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. find the probability that the first card is a king and the second card is a queen.

Answers

there are 4 kings and 4 queens in a deck

 chance of getting a king is 1/52

 chance of getting a queen without the king being put back would be 1/51

1/52 x 1/51 = 1/2652 probability

The probability of drawing first a king and then a queen from a standard deck without replacement is 0.603%, which is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of drawing a king and then a queen (1/13 * 4/51).

The student is asking about how to calculate the probability of drawing two specific cards from a deck of cards in succession without replacement. In a standard deck of 52 cards, the probability of drawing a king first is 4/52 since there are four kings in the deck. After drawing a king, there are 51 cards left, and the probability of drawing a queen next is 4/51 because there are four queens in the deck. These events are dependent because the outcome of the second draw depends on the first.

To find the combined probability of both events happening, we multiply the probabilities of each event:

P(first card is a king) = 4/52

P(second card is a queen after drawing a king) = 4/51

So, the probability is (4/52) * (4/51), which simplifies to 1/13 * 4/51.

Combined probability = (1/13) * (4/51) = 4/663 = 0.006033182503770739, or about 0.603% when expressed as a percentage.
