Answer:

3/14

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the ratio of a to b, or a/b

9/17 = 3a/ (a+b)

Multiply each side by 17

17*9/17 =17* 3a/ (a+b)

9 = 51 a/ (a+b)

Multiply each side by (a+b)

9 (a+b) = 51a

Distribute  the 9

9a +9b = 51a

Subtract 9a from each side

9a-9a +9b =51a-9a

9b = 42a

Divide each side by b

9b/b = 42a/b

9 = 42a/b

Divide each side by 42

9/42 = a/b

But we can simplify 9/42 because each is divisible by 3, so divide 9 and 42 by 3

3/14 = a/b

A fair die is rolled in a board game to determine how many spaces a player can move on their turn. It has one of the numbers 1,2
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(a)6 (b)3 (c)0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a fair die with the numbers 1,2,3,4,5, or 6 on each of its faces.

  • Event A is the event of rolling an even number
  • Event B is the event of rolling an odd number.

(a)The sample space for the outcomes in this experiment is {1,2,3,4,5,6}

There are <u>6</u><u> </u>outcomes in the sample space.

n(S)=6

(b)

Event A is the event of rolling an even number

Sample space of A = {2,4,6}

There are <u>3</u> outcomes in event A.

n(A)=3

(c)The probability of event A

P(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(S)} =\dfrac{3}{6} =0.5

P(A) =<u>0.5</u> is the probability that you choose an even number.

Yassar has purchased a $30,000 car for his business. The car depreciates at 30%
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

30% of 30000 is 9000, 30000-9000=21000 (1 year)

30% of 21000 is 6300, 21000-6300=14700 (2 years)

30% of 14700 is 4410, 14700-4410= 10290 (3 years)

30% of 10290 is 3087, 10290-3097= 7203 (4 years)

30% of 7203 is 2160.9, 7203-2160.9= 5042.1 (5 years)
