Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{85}{24}=3\dfrac{13}{24}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the mixed number to the fraction:

3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{3\cdot8+1}{8}=\dfrac{25}{8}

METHOD 1:

x-3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\x-\dfrac{25}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\\text{the common denominator is 24}\\\\x-\dfrac{25}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 24}\\\\24x-(3)(25)=(2)(5)\\\\24x-75=10\qquad\text{add 75 to both sides}\\\\24x=85\qquad\text{divide both sides by 24}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{85}{24}}

METHOD 2:

x-3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\qquad\text{add}\ 3\dfrac{1}{8}\ \text{to oboth sides}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{12}+3\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\x=\dfrac{5\cdot2}{12\cdot2}+3\dfrac{1\cdot3}{8\cdot3}\\\\x=\dfrac{10}{24}+3\dfrac{3}{24}\\\\x=3\dfrac{10+3}{24}\\\\\boxed{x=3\dfrac{13}{24}}

Somebody help me solve;
Nadya [2.5K]
P(at least 5 rolls until 1) = P(4 rolls are not 1) = 5/6 x 5/6 x 5/6 x 5/6 = 0.4823 (4sf)

Fewer than 7 rolls to get second 1 after first takes 3 rolls means second occurs on 4th, 5th or 6th roll
The probability of each of these is 1/6, 5/6 x 1/6 and 5/6 x 5/6 x 1/6 respectively.
P(second 1 on 4th, 5th or 6th roll) = 1/6 + 5/36 + 25/216 = 91/216 = 0.4213 (4sf)

A parabola has vertex (2, 3) and contains the point (0, 0). find an equation that represents this parabola.
AfilCa [17]
First write it in vertex form :-

y= a(x - 2)^2 + 3    where a is some constant.

We can find the value of a  by substituting the point (0.0) into the equation:-

0  = a((-2)^2 + 3

4a = -3

a = -3/4

so our equation becomes  y =  (-3/4)(x - 2)^2 + 3

Value discounting refers to the fact that the percieved value of the reinforcer is less the longer you have to wait for it. See
vekshin1

Answer:

there is an economic principle that states that 1 dollar today is worth more than 1 dollar in the future, since an invested dollar could earn interests and gain value.

For example, we can assume a 6% interest rate (0.5% monthly interest rate), and using the present value formula we can determine the present value of $100:

  • given to us in 30 days = $100 / (1 + 0.5%)¹ = $99.50
  • given to us in 150 days = $100 / (1 + 0.5%)⁵ = $97.54
  • given to us in 300 days = $100 / (1 + 0.5%)¹⁰ = $95.13

In order to calculate the value of $100 given to us tomorrow, we would need to determine a daily interest rate = 6% / 360 = 0.00017

  • $100 given to us tomorrow = $100 / (1 + 0.00017)¹ = $99.98

since the amount of money is not that large and the interest rate is rather low, the difference in value is not that large. But imagine if you used a 24% interest rate instead of 6% (monthly interest rate = 2%)

  • $100 given to us in 30 days = $100 / (1 + 2%)¹ = $98.04
  • $100 given to us in 150 days = $100 / (1 + 2%)⁵ = $90.57
  • $100 given to us in 300 days = $100 / (1 + 2%)¹⁰ = $82.03

as the interest rate increases, the present value decreases.
