Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

probability = wanted outcomes / total outcomes

odds = wanted outcomes / unwanted outcomes

Odds of 3:5 losing means 3 losing outcomes and 5 winning outcomes.

The total outcomes is 8

The probability of losing which is the probability that the event will fail to occur is 3/8.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

a) y =2/3 x + 7.

b) x = -1

c) y = -4/5 x - 1/5

d) y = -3/2 x + 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Intercept form y = mx + b where m = 2/3 and  b = 7

b) y can take any value but x is always -1.

c) Slope m = (-1-3)/ (1 - -4)

= -4/5

Using point-slope form where m = -4/5 and x1 y1 = 1 , -1:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -1 = -4/5(x - 1)

y + 1 = -4/5x + 4/5

y = -4/5 x - 1/5

d)  The slope m of the line perpendicular to this line is:

-1 / 2/3

m = -3/2.

When x = -1 , y = 4 so using the slope intercept form of a line

y = mx + b

4 = -3/2 * -1 + b  where b = the y-intercept.

4 = 3/2 + b

b = 4 - 3/2 = 5/2.

The equation is  y = -3/2 x + 5/2.

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. The surrounding gas must not be saturated with the evaporating substance. When the molecules of the liquid collide, they transfer energy to each other based on how they collide with each other. Wikipedia

**I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO THE PERSON WHO CAN HELP ME/AND 40 POINTS**
Mama L [17]

Tank calculations :

Volume = 1/4(4/3 * pi * r^3)

r= 70 feet.

Volume = 1/4(4/3 * 3.14 * 70^3)

Calculating the values:

Volume = 359,000.67 ft.cubed

No we divide the actual radius by 6 to get the volume of scale model.

Hence,

6^3 = 216 times smaller.
