If you split a right angle with a ray going through the middle of the right angle, the two angles formed will be ______. Select one: a. Obtuse b. Vertical c. complementary

Answers

Answer:

Complementary

Step-by-step explanation:

To be complementary, your two angles need to add up to 90 degrees

a right triangle is already 90 degrees so if you cut it through the middle they'd form complementary angles

ANSWER:
To be complementary rwo angles need to add up to 90.
If we cut a right angled triangle we will get complementary angles.

The manager of a grocery store reports that there is a 12 percent chance that a customer buys apples during a shopping trip, a 5 percent chance that a customer buy apples and carrots, and a 17 percent chance that a customer buys apples or carrots. What is the probability of a customer buying carrots? 1.4 percent 5.0 percent 10.0 percent 11.4 percent

Answers

The probability of a customer buying carrots is 11.4 percent.

We can use the following formula to calculate the probability of event A happening given that event B has already happened:

P(A | B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

Where:

P(A | B) is the probability of event A happening given that event B has already happened

P(A and B) is the probability of both event A and event B happening

P(B) is the probability of event B happening

In this case, event A is buying carrots and event B is buying apples or carrots.

We know that the probability of buying apples or carrots is 17 percent. We also know that the probability of buying apples and carrots is 5 percent. Therefore, the probability of buying carrots is:

P(carrots) = P(carrots and apples or carrots) / P(apples or carrots) = 5 percent / 17 percent = 11.4 percent

Therefore, the answer is d. 11.4 percent.

Answer:

C. 10.0 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) = 0.12

P(A\cap C)=0.05

P(A\cup C)=0.17=P(A)+P(C)-P(A\cap C)

0.17=0.12+P(C)-0.05

P(C)=0.17-0.12+0.05=0.10

A pipe fills a barrel with vinegar in 20 minutes. A release valve on the barrel, used for drainage, can empty the barrel in 40 minutes. A new employee mistakenly left the drainage valve open as he turned on the pipe to fill a barrel. How long will it take to fill the barrel if the pipe is filling at the same time the valve is emptying?

Answers

Answer:

40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a load and a discharge, given by a speed that would be a barrel / minute.

Which means that the loading rate is: 1/20

And the discharge rate: 1/40

Since they are contrary, the result would be the subtraction between these two rates:

1/20 - 1/40 = 1 / x

1 / x = 0.025

x = 1 / 0.025

x = 40

Which means it will take 40 minutes to fill under the mentioned conditions

Andrew bought 3 baseball cards for $240. After a few months, he got an offer from his friend Jack to buy the first card for double its original value, along with either the second or third card. Andrew decided to sell the first card (at double its original value) along with the second card (at its original price) and got $320 for it. Or, selling the first card (at double its original value) card along with the third card (at its original price) would have only got him $280. What were the original prices for each of the 3 baseball cards?A-(80, 120, 40)

B-(80, 130, 30)

C-(130, 90, 20)

D-(120, 80, 40)

Answers

Answer:

Option D. (120, 80, 40)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of 3 baseball cards bought by Andrew are $x, $y and $z.

Now we will form the equations to find the unknown values of x, y, and z.

Statement 1 - Andrew bought 3 baseball cards for $240

Equation will be (x + y + z) = 240 --------(1)

Statement 2 - Jack offered a deal to buy the first card for the double of its original value along with the second card for $320.

Equation will be 2x + y = 320 --------(2)

Statement 3 - Jack offered another deal to buy first card for the double of its original value along with third card for $280

Equation formed 2x + z = 280 ------(3)

Now we can solve these equations to get the values of x, y and z.

From equation 2

y = 320 - 2x

From equation 3

z = 280 - 2x

Now we can replace the values of y and z in equation number 1.

Equation 1 becomes after substitution of y and z values

x + (320 - 2x) + (280 - 2x) = 240

Now we will group the similar terms

(x - 2x - 2x) + (320 + 280) = 240

-3x + 600 = 240

-3x = 240 - 600

-3x = - 360

x = (360)/(3)

x = 120

Now  we put x = 120 in the value of y

y = 320 - 2x

y = 320 - 2×120

  = 320 - 240

  = 80

Similarly we put the value x = 120 in value of z

z = 280 - 2x

  = 280 - 2×120

  = 280 - 240

  = 40

So the original values of 3 baseball cards are (120, 80, 40)
