2/3 (0.666) quantities fills one dispenser.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; It is given that 2 1/3 amount of some liquid fills up 3 1/2 dispensers. First, we must convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions. To do that we multiply the number with the denominator and add with it the numerator whereas the denominator remains the same. To convert the fraction

2 1/3 we multiply the 2 with the 3 and add it with 1 while denominator remains 3, so 2 1/3 becomes 7/3. Similarly the fraction 3 1/2 converts into 7/2.

Step 2; So we have 7/3 quantities of liquid fills 7/2 dispensers. We multiply both sides by 2/7 so that the right side of the equation becomes 1 and the left side of the equation indicates the amount of liquid in 1 dispenser.

7/3 * 2/7 = 7/2 * 2/7 , 14/21 = 1 dispenser. So 14/21 = 2/3. So 2/3 or 0.666 quantity of liquid fills one dispenser.

Find the value of $x$ so that the ratios are equivalent.<br><br> x:5/2 and 8:10
Scrat [10]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here what we need is that the ratios be equal, which is:

x:(5/2) = 8:10 or, what is the same:

x/(5/2) = 8/10

Lets pick the left term x/(5/2) and multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 to eliminate the fraction on the denominator:

2x/2(5/2) = 2x/5

Now, we would like to make a 10 appear on the denominator. As we already have a five we need to multiply numerator and denominator by the num that, multiplied by 5 gives as 10, this is 2:

2(2x)/2(5) = 4x / 10

So, we transformed x/(5/2)  in 4x/10, and both are the same, so we can replace it on our first equation:

4x/10 = 8/10

As both denominators are equal, we can concentrate only in numerators:

4x = 8

Dividing both sides by 4:

x = 2

So, for x=2 both ratios are equivalents.

A pair of dice is rolled. Find the probability for P(not 2 or not 12)
irakobra [83]

Answer:

There’s only one way to get 12 when 2 dice are tossed, both have to equal 6. There are 6 ways tossing a single die can come out (1,2,3,4,5,6), so if you toss dice, the second die could have any one of six values with each of the numbers that could result from the first toss (e.g., 1 from die 1 and 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 from die 2). So, considering there are 6 ways to fill each of two slots, there are 6 x 6 = 36 possible outcomes of tossing two dice. Only one of them equals 12, so p(12 given 2 dice tossed) = 1/36 = 0.02777777777778.
