Answer 1
Answer: Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Below is similar question:

48 out of 100 private buses usually run on time. Out of the buses that are on time, only 36 are owned by Jerry. Out of the remaining 52 buses that usually run late, only 7 are owned by Jerry. What is the probability that a bus is owned by Jerry, given that it runs on time?
 A. 0.58
B. 0.67
C. 0.75
D. 0.81

The answer is C as 36/48 = .75
Answer 2
Answer:

Based on the number of buses owned by Jerry that usually run late, the probability that a bus owned by Jerry would run late is 13.5%.

What is the probability that Jerry's bus would run late?

This can be found as:

= Number of buses that Jerry owns which run late / Total number of buses that run late

Solving gives:

= 7 / 52

= 13.5%

What multiplies to 16 and adds to negative 12

Answers

factor 16 and see the - factor pairs and add them, see which add to -12
-1-16=-17 nope
-2-8=-10 nope
-4-4=-8
hmm


we will solve with math
xy=16
x+y=-12
minus  x both sides
y=-12-x
sub for y in other equation
x(-12-x)=16
-12x-x^2=16
add 12x+x^2 both sides
0=x^2+12x+16
use quadratic formula
if you have
ax^2+bx+c=0
x=\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^(2)-4ac} }{2a}


0=x^2+12x+16
a=1
b=12
c=16

x=\frac{-12+/- \sqrt{12^(2)-4(1)(16) }}{2(1)}
x=(-12+/- √(144-64 ))/(2)
x=(-12+/- √(80))/(2)
x=(-12+/- 4√(5))/(2)
x=\frac{-6+/- 2√(5)
x=\frac{-6+ 2√(5) or \frac{-6- 2√(5)

A prism has a surface area of 350 mm2.Find the surface area of a scaled image with a scale factor of 2.

Answers

Just put an exponent of '2' on the scale factor and multiply it by the surface area.

Scale factor = 2

\sf2^2\rightarrow4

Multiply it:

\sf350*4=1400~mm^2
You would mulitply the factor by itself
2^2 = 4

then you would multiply the surface area by 4 

350 x 4 = 1400 mm^2

Answer 1400 mm^2

Name the corresponding part if RST WXY.

∠ S =

Answers

Answer: ∠S = ∠X.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

∠RST and ∠WXY

WE need to find the corresponding part of ∠S.

As we have given RST and WXY,

Corresponding part means a pair of matching sides or angles that are in the same side in two different shapes.

So,According to question,

Corresponding angle to ∠S is ∠X.

Hence, ∠S = ∠X.

The corresponding part is <X
