<span><span>1.      </span>We have two boxes with weights:
=> 9.4 lb and 62.6 lb.
To find a rough estimate of their total weight, we will round and use compatible numbers.
For 9.4 lbs, rounding gives us 9 lbs
And for 62.6 lbs, it rounds to 63 lbs
=> Adding these two rounded numbers yields:
=> 9 + 63
=> 72, the estimated total is 72.
Let’s verify if this is close to the actual weight
=> 9.4 + 62.6
=> 72</span>

Which function has an inverse that is also a function?
PIT_PIT [12445]

Response:

A. {(–4, 3), (–2, 7), (–1, 0), (4, –3), (11, –7)}

Detailed explanation:

Having just taken the quiz, it's worth noting that you can interchange the coordinates to observe those of the inverse function. Instances of identical x values indicate that it fails the line test, thus disqualifying it as a function with an inverse.

A train station has installed a system for determining whether bags contain explosives. It has a 95% chance of correctly identif
PIT_PIT [12445]
a) P(identified as explosive) equals P(actual explosive & identified as explosive) + P(not explosive & identified as explosive) = (10/(4*10^6))*0.95+(1-10/(4*10^6))*0.005 = 0.005002363. Thus, the probability that it actually contains explosives given that it's identified as containing explosives is (10/(4*10^6))*0.95/0.005002363 = 0.000475. b) Let the probability of correctly identifying a bag without explosives be a. Therefore, a = 0.99999763, approximately 99.999763%. c) No, even if this becomes 1, the true proportion of explosives will always be below half of the total detected.

Melissa has three different positive integers. She adds their reciprocals together and gets a sum of $1$. What is the product of
Svet_ta [12734]

Given the three integers are a,b,c, we arrive at

\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=1

We can merge the fractions on the left side:

\dfrac{bc}{abc}+\dfrac{ac}{abc}+\dfrac{ab}{abc}=\dfrac{bc+ac+ab}{abc}=1

\implies abc=bc+ac+ab

Your job is to sort and sack marbles for sale. A bag contains 44 marbles, some red and some green. If there are 11 red marbles,
AnnZ [12381]

Response:

The correct choice is option C

The proportion of green marbles to red marbles is 3: 1

Step-by-step breakdown:

According to the problem statement:

A bag holds 44 marbles, comprising both red and green ones.

⇒Total marbles = 44

If it includes 11 red marbles.

Then;

Green marbles = Total marbles - red marbles.

By substituting the values provided,

Green marbles = 44 - 11 = 33

We are tasked with determining the ratio of green marbles to red marbles.

\frac{\text{Green marbles}}{\text{Red marbles}} = \frac{33}{11} = \frac{3}{1} = 3: 1

Consequently, the ratio of green to red marbles is 3: 1
