-5, -4, 0, 2, 3. From smallest to largest
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Lincoln has 15 girls and 10 boys in her homeroom. She randomly selects two students. The total number of students is 25.
The probability of choosing one girl is:
15 / 25 = 3 / 5
Now, 24 students are left.
The probability of choosing one boy is:
10 / 24 = 5 / 12
Therefore, the probability of choosing one girl and one boy is:
3 / 5 * 5 / 12
= 3 / 12
= 1/4
Answer:
C. Four less than the product of two and a number is less than the product of four and the same number increased by eight.
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Converting expressions to word form
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
2x - 4 < 4x + 8
<u>Step 2: Translate</u>
"2x" is the product of two and a number <em>x</em>
" - 4" is four less
"<" is less than
"4x" is the product of four and a number <em>x</em>
" + 8" is increased by 8
<u>Step 3: Combine</u>
The difference between the product of two and a number <em>x</em> and 4 is less than the sum of the product of four and a number <em>x</em> and 8.
<u>Step 4: Reword</u>
Four less than the product of two and a number is less than the product of four and the same number increased by eight.
I'd use synthetic div. here, with 2 as my divisor:
________________
2 / 1 -11 18
2 -18
----------------------------
1 -9 0
Note that the coefficients of the missing factor are given here and are 1 and -9. Thus, (x-9) is the missing factor.
