Amonkey is swinging from a tree. on each swing, she travels along an arc that is 75% as long as the previous swing's arc. the total length of the arcs from her first 4 swings is 175 m. how long was the monkeys 1st swing?

Total length of the first swing=64 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of all four swings can be expressed as;

Total length of all 4 swings=Length of first swing+length of second swing+length of third swing+length of fourth swing

where;

Total length of all 4 swings=175 m

Length of first swing=x

Length of second swing=75% of length of first swing=(75/100)×x=0.75 x

Length of third swing=75% of length of second swing

Length of third swing=(75/100)×0.75 x=0.5625 x

Length of fourth swing=75% of length of third swing

Length of fourth swing=(75/100)×0.5625 x=0.421875 x

replacing;

Total length of all 4 swings

175=x+0.75 x+0.5625 x+0.421875 x

2.734375 x=175

x=175/2.734375

x=64

Total length of the first swing=x=64 m

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.

i think its a.

hope this
