Answer: 17/60
Step-by-step explanation:
Change all of the fractions to have a common denominator:
LCM of 10, 12, 15 is 60
You get 12/60, 25/60, and 54/60.
54/60 is what he had at the start, and so you can just subtract what he gave away
54/60-12/60=42/60
42/60-25/60=17/60
17 is a prime number so you cannot simplify the fraction
Answer in fraction form = 1/20
Answer in decimal form = 0.05
Answer in percent form = 5%
These are three ways to express the same thing

Explanation:
Assume the gumball machine only has 5 gumballs, one of each color. The probability of getting yellow is 1/5 since there is one that is yellow out of 5 total.
The probability of getting a lion rubber band is 1/4 for similar reasoning as above.
Because the two events (getting yellow, getting a lion) are independent, this means we can multiply the two probabilities to get (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20
Use your calculator to see that 1/20 = 0.05 which converts to 5% when you move the decimal point over 2 spots to the right.
Answer:
X = 8, Y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1) Solve for Y w/ bottom equation to yield - y = -2/3x + 40/3.
Step 2) substitute equation into x + y = 16 to get 1/3x + 40/3 = 16 multiply by 3 to clear the fractions and get x + 40 = 48 - subtract 40 by both sides to get x = 8.
Step 3) Plug x = 8 into the bottom equation to get 48 + 9y = 120, subtract 48 by both sides to get 9y = 72 and then divide by 9. The product is y = 8.
Answer:
80 ft x 40 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'L' be the length of the longer side and 'W' be the length of the shorter side (or the width).
The equations that compose the linear system are:
Solving the system:
