Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
If Alex cut his wire 18 times, he ended up with 19 equal pieces. He kept 7, so has 7/19 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Bob cut his wire 20 times, so ended up with 21 pieces, of which he kept 9. So he has 9/21 = 3/7 of his 1/3 of the wire.
Claudia kept 1/13 of her 1/3 of the wire, so has the smallest piece.
Bob kept (3/7)·(1/3)·126 cm = 18 cm.
Alex kept (7/19)·(1/3)·126 cm ≈ 15.47 cm.
Bob kept the longest part of the original wire.
Answer:
The correct answer is - 1/2 or 50% for first and second child to be affected.
Step-by-step explanation:
Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder. Autosomal dominant disorder refers to the presence of a single copy of the defective gene that is enough to lead to dwarfness.
A cross of achondroplasia (Aa) parent to a person of normal height (aa) result in half of their children will be affected with dwarfism and the other half will be normal.
a cross between affected or dwarf and normal parent
Aa X aa
Punnett square:
a a
A Aa Aa
a aa aa
Aa- dwarfness
aa- normal height
The probability that both their first child and second child would have achondroplasia is
2/4 =1/2 or 50%.

Answer:
3×5×53
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use divisibility rules to find the small prime factors.
The number ends in 5, so is divisible by 5.
795/5 = 159
The sum of digits is 1+5+9 = 15; 1+5 = 6, a number divisible by 3, so 3 is a factor.
159/3 = 53 . . . . . a prime number,* so we're done.
795 = 3×5×53
_____
* If this were not prime, it would be divisible by a prime less than its square root. √53 ≈ 7.3. We know it is not divisible by 2, 3, or 5. We also know the closest multiples of 7 are 49 and 56, so it is not divisible by 7. Hence 53 is prime.
The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Given
Total number of marbles in the bag = 13 marbles
Number of yellow marbles = 6.
We choose 2 marbles from the bag without replacing and need to determine the probability that both are yellow.
Step 2 :
Probability of finding yellow marble in the first try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = 
Once the yellow marble is selected we have 5 yellow marbles among 12 remaining marbles in the bag.
Probability of finding yellow marble in the second try = Number of yellow marbles / Total number of marbles = 
Step 3:
P(yellow in first 2 tries) = P(yellow in first try) * P(yellow in second try)
P(yellow in first 2 tries) = 
= 
Step 4:
Answer:
The probability of choosing two yellow marbles = 5/26
