Answer:

P(Boston Red Sox) = 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the favorite team of a randomly selected baseball fan is the Boston Red Sox can be found by dividing the number of Boston Red Sox fans by the total number of fans.

It's given that there are 12 Boston Red Sox fans and 18 other fans. Therefore the total number of fans is 12 + 18 = 30.

If we divide the number of Boston Red Sox fans by the total number of fans, we get 12/30 = 2/5. Finally, we have P(Boston Red Sox) = 2/5.

A 16-ft. board is to be cut into three pieces. Two of the pieces must be 4 feet shorter than the third piece. How long should ea

Kryger [21]

Answer:

1st piece = 4 ft

2nd piece = 4 ft

3rd piece = 8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 3rd piece's length be "x"

Each of the two remaining pieces will be 4 feet shorter, so each other piece would be:

x - 4

and

x - 4

Since sum of all 3 pieces is 16, we can write:

1st piece + 2nd piece + 3rd piece = 16

x - 4 + x - 4 + x = 16

3x - 8 = 16

3x = 24

x = 24/3

x = 8

Third piece is 8 feet and each remaining piece is 8 - 4 = 4 feet and 4 feet

1st piece = 4 ft

2nd piece = 4 ft

3rd piece = 8 ft

The owner of a clothing store says his sales increased 35% from last year. His sales this year are $250,760. Find his sales from

dimulka [17.4K]

$\frac{100\%}{135\%} \times 250760 = 185748$

The figure has been rounded up to the nearest whole number. If this year's sales has increased by 35% from last year, it means that it is 1.35 times last year's sales. Hope this helps!
