The cost of 3 and 1/2 pounds of almond at the same rate is $26.60.

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

A fraction is simply a piece of a whole. The number is represented mathematically as a quotient where the numerator and denominator are split. In the illustration given as m/n, it should be noted that m is the numerator and n is the denominator.

Since the price for 7/8 of a pound of almonds is $6.65, the fraction per pound will be done by dividing the amount for a pound by 7/8.

= $6.65 ÷ 7/8

= $7.6

The cost of 3 and 1/2 pounds at the same rate is:

= 3 1/2 × $7.6

= $26.60

In conclusion, the cost is $26.60.

What is the product?<br><br> (5.63 x 10^5) x 5,600,000

victus00 [196]

Answer: $3.1528 \times 10^{12}.$

Step-by-step explanation: Given expression $(5.63 \times 10^5) \times 5,600,000$ .

In order to find the product of given expression, we need to convert 5,600,000 into scientific notation, because other number is also in scientific notation.

5,600,000 = 5.6 × 10^6.

Therefore, $(5.63 \times 10^5) \times 5,600,000 =(5.63 \times 10^5) \times (5.6 \times 10^6)$ .

Now, multiplying 5.63 × 5.6 first, we get 31.528.

And 10^5 × 10^6 = 10^11.

Therefore,

$(5.63 \times 10^5) \times (5.6 \times 10^6) = 31.528 \times 10^11$ .

At a local University, it is reported that 81% of students own a wireless device. If 5 students are selected at random, what is

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

34.87% probability that all 5 have a wireless device

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they own a wireless device, or they do not. The probability of a student owning a wireless device is independent from other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
