The reciprocal of -2/5, expressed as a decimal to the nearest tenth is: -2.5.

<h3>What is the Reciprocal of a Number?</h3>

The reciprocal of a number can be described as the inverse of that number. For example, if a is given as a real number, therefore, the reciprocal of a would be 1/a.

Another example is a/b. The reciprocal of a/b is b/a.

Thus, the reciprocal of -2/5 is -5/2.

Expressing this as a decimal, we would have:

-5/2 = 2.5 (nearest tenth).

Therefore, the reciprocal of -2/5, expressed as a decimal to the nearest tenth is: -2.5.

The inverse variation equation shows the relationship between wavelength in meters, x, and frequency, y.
Dmitrij [34]
The relationship between wavelength and frequency is expressed by the equation λν=c where λ is the wavelength, v is the frequency and c is the speed of light which has a value of 3x10^8 m/s.

 λν=c
 λ(3 × 10^9)= 3x10^8
 λ = 0.1 m

Suppose the newspaper states that the probability of rain today is 65%.
Julli [10]

Answer:

no rain today = 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability, the Complement Rule states that the sum of the probability of an event and its complement must = 1

i.e

P( Event) + P (Complement) = 1

In this sense, we can think of the complement of an event as the "not-event". I.e the event does not happen.

In our case, the event = "rain today",

hence the complement will be = "not rain today" (i.e no rain today)

using the formula above, we are given that P(rain today) = 65% = 0.65

hence

0.65 + P(Complement) = 1

P(Complement) = 1 - 0.65 = 0.35 = 35%
