The most likely number of cats = 21/37 x 8 = 4.54 ≈ 5 cats
The most likely number of dogs = 16/37 x 8 = 3.46 ≈ 3 dogs

The probability of that arrangement happening = 1/8^2 = 1/64 = 0.00156

Does unit rates work all the time? and when doesn’t it work?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

You could also find the unit rate by dividing the first term of the ratio by the second term. When a price is expressed as a quantity of 1, such as $25 per ticket or $0.89 per can, it is called a unit price.

i’ll give you all my points that i have and rate you good if you answer these three questions before 3:00pm est. if f(x)=8-5x, f
maks197457 [2]
Ok so to start you plug in what’s in the parentheses for x

4c=8-5(4c)
2-k=8-5(2-k)
4p+3=8-5(4p+3)

In the first one you distribute the -5
4c=8-20c
Then add 20c to both sides
24c=8
And divide by 24
C=8/24 or 1/3

Distributing the -5 on the second one gets you
2-k=8-10+5k
Then you combine like terms
2-k=-2+5k
Subtract 5k from both sides
2-6k=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides
-6k=-4
Divide by -6
K=4/6 or 2/3

and lastly the equation is 4p+3=8-5(4p+3)

So you distribute -5
4p+3=8-20p-15
Combine like terms
4p+3=-20p-7
Add 20p to both sides
24p+3=-7
Subtract 3 from both sides
24p=-10
And then divide by 24
P= -10/24 or -5/12

6 people equally share 56 gummy worms. How many gummy worms does each person get?
gregori [183]

Answer:

B: 9 2/6 gummy worms

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't divide 56 equally with 6, so you have to find the nearest dividable number. That number is 54. 54 divided by 6 is 9, which eliminates option C and D. Since 56-54 (the number we took) is 2, the answer is B.

If the length of rectangle is thrice of its breadth and it's perimeter is 32 cm then finds its area​.​
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

48 cm²

Explanation:

Let the breadth be b, then the length is 3b

P = 2(Length + Breadth)

32 = 2(3b + b)

32 = 2(4b)

8b = 32

b = 4

Breadth is 4 cm

Length: 3b = 3(4) = 12 cm

Area of rectangle:

Length × Breadth

12 × 4

48 cm²
