So we know there are 5 red and 12 silver marbles, together making 16 marbles.

This would mean that there is a 5/17 chance of choosing a red marble.

When you do the math to convert 5/17 into a decimal, it turns into being a .29 chance.

Convert .29 into a decimal, and you know that you have a 29% chance of grabbing a red marble.

Hope this helped!

I don’t understand constant rates of change help!
REY [17]

Answer:

The (constant) rate of change with respect to the variable x of a linear function y = f(x) is the slope of its graph. If x and f have units in Definition 2, then the units of the rate of change are those of f divided by those of x.

Two more than the square of a number is 123 what is the number? Can someone please explain to me how to do this
max2010maxim [7]

Give the number a label.  That can be anything you want.  A lot of people will use 'x' every single time they do a math problem,but there's no reason to do that and it's boring.  Let's call our number ' M ' for 'Mystery number'.  OK ? 

                                             The number . . . M
                       The square of the number . . . M²
Two more than the square of the number . . . M² + 2

You said that this is equal to 123,  so we can write    <u> M² + 2 = 123</u>

That's the equation we have to take and solve for ' M '.

Subtract  2  from each side of the equation, and you have    M² = 121 .

Take the square root of each side:    M = √121 .

The Mystery number is the square root of  121.

If you don't happen to know what that is, then you can use your pocket
calculator, or the calculator that comes with your computer (if you know
how to find it).  They will all tell you that the square root of  121  is  <em>11</em> .

That's a fine and wonderful answer, but technically, it's only half of the
answer.  Any equation that has something squared in it almost always
has two solutions, and this one does.

The square root of  121  is a number that gives you  121  when you
multiply it by itself.  ' 11 ' does that:  (11 x 11) = 121 .  Is there <em><u>another</u></em>
number that does the same thing ?

How about ' -11 ' ?  Look at this:  ( -11 x -11 ) = 121 .  (Remember that
if both numbers being multiplied have the <em>same sign</em>, then their product
is positive.)

The bottom line is:  The mystery number is<em>  +11</em>  and also<em>  -11</em> .
Either one does what you want . . . When you square it and then
add  2  more, you get  123  either way.

A dartboard consists of a circle inscribed in a square. The area of the circle is 16π square centimeters. The area of the square
lapo4ka [179]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

Area of Circle = 16(π)

= 16 * 3.14

= 50.24


Area of Square = 64

= 64 – 50.24

= 13.76

 

Area of Square but not on the circular board = 13.76 / 64

= 0.215

Percentage value = 0.215 * 100%

= 21.5%

So, <span>to the nearest percent, the probability that the dart lands inside the square but not on the circular dartboard is 21.5%.</span>
