Answer:

\frac{29}{58}

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the numerator of the rational number then 2x is the denominator

original fraction = \frac{x}{2x}

subtracting 3 from numerator and adding 7 to denominator , gives

\frac{x-3}{2x+7} = \frac{2}{5} ( cross- multiply )

5(x - 3) = 2(2x + 7) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides )

5x - 15 = 4x + 14 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

x - 15 = 14 ( add 15 to both sides )

x = 29

rational number = \frac{29}{58}

frez [133]

Considering the area of the hole, it is found that there is a 4.9% probability of hitting a ball into the circular hole.

<h3>What is the area of a circle?</h3>

The area of a circle of radius r is given by:

A = \pi r^2

In this problem, the hole has a diameter of 1 ft, hence it is radius is of r = 1 ft/2 = 0.5 ft, and it's area is given by:

A = \pi \times (0.5)^2 = 0.7854 \text{ft}^2

Hence the probability is given by:

p = 0.7854/16 = 0.049 = 4.9%
