If you mean lowest terms as in fully simplified, then your fraction "2/11" is already in lowest terms.
Lowest terms mean that your numerator and denominator have no common factors apart from 1.
2 and 11 don't have any common factors, therefore 2/11 is in lowest terms already.
6 pennies, 12 nickels, 8 dimes, 4 quarters = 30 coins
a) add the probability for drawing a dime and drawing a quarter together:
12/30 + 4/30 = 16/30 = 8/15
The probability is 8/15 or 53%
b) multiply the probability for drawing a penny and drawing a nickel:
6/30 x 12/30 = 72/900 = 2/25
The probability is 2/25 or 8%
c) multiply the probability for drawing quarters but take away one of the total coins and the amount of quarters each time:
4/30 x 3/29 x 2/28 = 24/24360 = 1/1015
The probability is 1/1015 or 0.099%
Using the proportion given, there will be 57 catfish in the pond.
The proportion given to us is
5.7/20 = x/200
Cross multiply:
5.7*200 = 20*x
1140 = 20x
Divide both sides by 20:
1140/20 = 20x/20
57 = x
Answer:
The answer is y = 3(4)^x or answer choice C
Answer:
20 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that
we know that
Hector has 3/4 hour to spend his homework
Convert to minutes
so
1) He wants to spend 1/3 of this time on math homework
To find out the time on math homework, multiply 45 minutes by 1/3
2) He wants to spend 10 minutes of his time on reading homework
3) He wants to spend the remaining time on science homework
The time spend on math homework plus the time spend reading homework, plus the time spend on his science homework must be equal to 45 minutes
Let
x ----> the time spend on his science homework
Solve for x
