Answer in fraction form = 1/20
Answer in decimal form = 0.05
Answer in percent form = 5%
These are three ways to express the same thing

Explanation:
Assume the gumball machine only has 5 gumballs, one of each color. The probability of getting yellow is 1/5 since there is one that is yellow out of 5 total.
The probability of getting a lion rubber band is 1/4 for similar reasoning as above.
Because the two events (getting yellow, getting a lion) are independent, this means we can multiply the two probabilities to get (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20
Use your calculator to see that 1/20 = 0.05 which converts to 5% when you move the decimal point over 2 spots to the right.
Since there are 16 ounces in 1 pound. You'd multiply 450(pounds)*16(ounces) which would equal 7,200 ounces.
Hope this helped : )
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
Answer:
a) slope / m = 3
b) y-intercept / b = 0
c) Proportional
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
( y1 - y2 ) / ( x1 - x2 )
( 6 - 12 ) / ( 2 - 4 )
( -6 ) / ( -2 )
6 / 2
3
b)
y = mx + b
6 = 3(2) + b
6 = 6 + b
0 = b
c)
Proportional is when it crosses origin ( 0, 0 ).
Not proportional is when it does not cross origin.
Hopefully this helps!
