Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

My approach was to draw out the probabilities, since we have 3 children, and we are looking for 2 boys and 1 girl, the probabilities can be Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy. So a 2/3 chance if you think about it, your answer 2/3 can't be correct. If we assume that boys and girls are born with equal probability, then the probability to have two girls (and one boy) should be the same as the probability to have two boys and one girl. So you would have two cases with probability 2/3, giving an impossible 4/3 probability for both cases. Also, your list "Boy-Boy-Girl, Boy-Girl-Boy, and Girl-Boy-Boy" seems strange. All of those are 2 boys and 1 girl, so based on that list, you should get a 100 percent chance. But what about Boy-Girl-Girl, or Girl-Girl-Girl? You get 2/3 if you assume that adjacencies in the (ordered) list are important, i.e., "2 boys and a girl" means that the girl was not born between the boys.

Which value is equivalent to: 1 1/2 divided by 4 1/2 x 1 1/3
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The answer is 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi. Here's the work.

First turn everything into an improper fraction.

1 \frac{1}{2} ÷ 4 \frac{1}{2} * 1 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{2} ÷ \frac{9}{2} * \frac{4}{3}

To divide fractions we multiply by the flipped version of the fraction, or the reciprocal.

\frac{3}{2} ÷ \frac{9}{2} * \frac{4}{3} = \frac{3}{2} *\frac{2}{9} *\frac{4}{3}

Now we just multiply the fractions!

\frac{3 * 2 * 4}{2 * 9 * 3} = \frac{4}{9}

The answer is therefore 4/9. Please mark brainliest if possible and i hope you get a good grade on your homework. ;)

Answer:

The answer is in the picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

2+\frac{3}{10x}\geq\frac{13}{20}  \\\\\frac{3}{10x}\geq\frac{13}{20} -2 \\\\\frac{3}{10x}\geq\frac{13}{20} -\frac{40}{20}  \\\\\frac{3}{10x}\geq-\frac{27}{20}  \\\\3\geq-\frac{27}{20}*10 x \\\\3\geq-\frac{270}{20} x\\\\3\geq-\frac{27}{2} x \\\\3*-\frac{2}{27} \leq x\\\\-\frac{6}{27} \leq x\\\\-\frac{2}{9} \leq x

Also x cannot equal to 0 if you plug in into the original equation the answer is indefinite/not solution.

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

4 , 24 , 144 , 864 , 5184

This is a sequence which is multiplied by 6 with the new digit.

First: 4

second: 4 * 6 = 24

third: 24 * 6 = 144

fourth: 144 * 6 = 864

fifth: 864* 6 = 5184

sixth: 5184 * 6 = 31104

seventh: 31104 * 6 = 186624

This sequence is never ending. Write the first 5 five in sequence that's the answer.
