1 1/7 x 1 3/4= 2
Change the mixed fraction to an improper fraction: 1 1/7=8/7
1 3/4=7/4
Multiply the two fraction: 8/7 x 7/4 = 56/28
Now reduce by figuring out how much 28 can go into 56.
The answer is a whole number which is 2!

Turn it into a improper fraction. 7*1=7+1=8 . SO it would be 8/7
4*1=4+3=7/4. Multiply them. 8/7* 7/4=56/28. They could both be divided by 4.
56/4=14. 28/4=7. 14/7=2. So 2 is the simplest form <span />

postnew [5]

To find the average number of books donated per month, we first get the total number of books that Eric has donated within the span of (8 - 3) = 5 months. Since from 157 books, there were only 102 books left after 5 months, that means he has donated (157 - 102) = 55 books. That means that he has donated 55 books within the span of 5 monhs. Thus, the average number of books would be equal to (number of books) / (number of months) = 55 / 5 = 11 books per month. <span>Answer: 11 books</span>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The proportion of gambling addicts : p=0.30

Let x be the binomial variable that represents the number of persons are gambling addicts.

with parameter p=0.30 , n= 10

Using Binomial formula ,

$P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

The required probability = $P(x>5)=P(6)+P(7)+P(8)+P(9)+P(10)\\\\=^{10}C_6(0.3)^6(0.7)^{4}+^{10}C_7(0.3)^7(0.7)^{3}+^{10}C_8(0.3)^8(0.7)^{2}+^{10}C_9(0.3)^9(0.7)^{1}+^{10}C_{10}(0.3)^{10}(0.7)^{0}\\\\=\dfrac{10!}{4!6!}(0.3)^6(0.7)^{4}+\dfrac{10!}{3!7!}(0.3)^7(0.7)^{3}+\dfrac{10!}{2!8!}(0.3)^8(0.7)^{2}+\dfrac{10!}{9!1!}(0.3)^9(0.7)^{1}+(1)(0.3)^{10}\\\\=0.0473489874\approx0.0473$

Hence, the required probability = 0.0473
