It would be greater than the original value think of (-) #s like debts that need to be payed off and if you get a friend to pay the debt with you then you each have to pay less than you would alone however b/cus the #s are negative the closer they are to zero the larger the number is

Lydia is making spaghetti sauce at a community luncheon. Each batch requires 1⁄2 teaspoon of salt, 1⁄3 teaspoon of oregano, 1⁄4
Troyanec [42]

Salt is used in the largest quantity in Lydia's recipe.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

Required spices are......

Salt = \frac{1}{2} teaspoon , Oregano = \frac{1}{3} teaspoon, Crushed thyme = \frac{1}{4} teaspoon and Black peeper = \frac{1}{8} teaspoon

For finding the largest quantity, first we need to make the denominators of each fraction as equal and then identify the largest numerator.  

The denominators are 2, 3, 4 and 8 and their LCM(Least common multiple) will be 24. So.....

\frac{1}{2}= \frac{1*12}{2*12}=\frac{12}{24} \\ \\ \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1*8}{3*8}=\frac{8}{24}\\ \\ \frac{1}{4}=\frac{1*6}{4*6}=\frac{6}{24}\\ \\ \frac{1}{8}=\frac{1*3}{8*3}=\frac{3}{24}

As the largest numerator is 12 here, so the value of \frac{1}{2} is largest among all the fractions.

Thus, <u>Salt</u> is used in the largest quantity in Lydia's recipe.

In a state where license plates contain six digits, what is the probability that the license number of a randomly selected car h
andre [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a state where license plates contain six digits.

Probability of that a number is 9 = \dfrac{1}{10}   [Since total digits = 10]

We assume that each digit of the license number is randomly selected  .

Since each digit in the license plate is independent from the other  and there is only two possible outcomes for given case (either 9 or not), so we can use Binomial.

Binomial probability formula:  P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

, where n= total trials , p = probability for each success.

Let x be the number of 9s in the license plate number.

X\sim Bin(n=6, p=\dfrac{1}{10}})

Then, the probability that the license number of a randomly selected car has exactly two 9's will be :

P(X=2)=^6C_2(\dfrac{1}{10})^2(1-\dfrac{1}{10})^{6-2}\\\\=\dfrac{6!}{2!(6-2)!}(\dfrac{1}{100})(\dfrac{9}{10})^4=0.098415

Hence, the required probability = 0.098415

Grace has a 15 inch diameter bicycle tire. How many revolutions will it make traveling 500 feet?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Revolution = 127.24 revolutions

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>Circumference of the tire = πD</u></em>

Where D = 15 inch

So,

C = 15π = 47.1 inch

<u><em>In feets:</em></u>

47.1 inch = 3.93 feet.

So, <u>one revolution = 3.93 feet</u>

<u><em>Travelling 500 feet will make the following revolutions:</em></u>

Revolution = 500 feet/3.93 feet

Revolution = 127.24 revolutions
