Answer:

a) 10/21 b) 5/21 c)1/21

Step-by-step explanation:

a) your have 7 choice and 5 or them or red, 5/7.  You do not replace the red marble, so for your second draw, you now only have 6 choices and of those 6 choices only 4 of them are now red or 4/6 or 2/3.  We multiple these two numbers together:

5/7(2/3) = 10/21

b) For the first draw, you have 5 red marbles available out of a total 7 marbles or 5/7.  The second draw now only has 6 marbles and 2 of them or yellow to make 2/6 or 1/3 (simplified).  We multiply these together.

5/7(1/3) =5/21

c)  I am assuming that you are still selecting 2 marbles.  The first draw would be 2/7.  This time I am selecting yellow and there are only 2 choices for yellow.  My next draw will only have 6 marbles and only 1 of them will be yellow, so 1/6.  We multiply these together

2/7(1/6) = 2/42 or 1/21

A used automobile dealership recently reduced the price of a used compact car by 6%. If the price of the car before discount was
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The discount = $1,128

New price = $17,672

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of car before discount = $18,800

Discount given = 6% of price of car

Discount value in dollars = 6% of $18,800 = 6/100*$18,800 = $1,128

Thus, the discount is $1,128

New price = Price of car before discount - discount = $18,800- $1,128

New price = $17,672

If a x 10^n is scientific notation, then a must be between 1 and
Yanka [14]

Answer:

  A)  10

Step-by-step explanation:

In the US, a number in scientific notation will have a mantissa (a) such that ...

  1 ≤ a < 10

That is, the value of "a" must be between 1 and 10 (not including 10).

_____

<em>Comment on alternatives</em>

In other places or in particular applications (some computer programming languages), the standard form of the number may be a×10^n with ...

  0.1 ≤ a < 1

In engineering use, the form of the number is often chosen so that "n" is a multiple of 3, and "a" is in the range ...

  1 ≤ a < 1000

This makes it easier to identify and use the appropriate standard SI prefix: nano-, micro-, milli-, kilo-, mega-, giga-, and so on.
