Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3 = 30% not 3%

to change a percentage to a decimal fraction, divide by 100

3% = \frac{3}{100} = 0.03

The answer is no.

Always remember when converting from percent to decimal, divide by 100%.

  • 3% ÷ 100%
  • 0.03 ≠ 0.3

Hence, the student's thinking is not correct.

If two events are dependent on each other you have to multiply the probability of the first event times the probability of the second event. 
first count all the marbles here there are 21
you are asked about picking two green marbles there are 7 out of the 21 total.
The first event would be 7/21
The second event would be 6/20 (since you didn't replace and you took out a green one)
now multiply your two fractions together:
and you get 1/10.

Camila is putting together gift bags for nurses at a local clinic. Each of the 5 gift bags contains 'x' cookies. Camila adds 3 m
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

A- X= 20÷5-3

B- 20÷5=4; 4-3=1

C- X=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, well we have to work backwards. 20 cookies, and she makes 5 bags. We need to find out what 'x' means. To do that, we take 20 cookies and divide it by 5. 4 cookies. Then we want to take 3 cookies out of each bag to find out how many cookies she first put in. 1 cookie.

Let's check:

bag 1:

o (one cookie)

bag 2:

o (one cookie)

bag 3:

o (one cookie)

bag 4:

o (one cookie)

bag 5:

o (one cookie)

Now we have 15 cookies left. Now let's put 3 in each:

bag 1:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 2:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 3:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 4:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 5:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

Now we have no cookies left, and we put 4 cookies in each. (o representing the first cookie, v representing the next three cookies)
