Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The centipede that Maria measured was 1 1/12 inches long. If you convert this to an improper fraction it is equal to 13/12 inches. Now to find how much longer Maria's centipede was than Jeromes, you just take 11/12 and minus it from 13/12 which is equal to 2/12 of an inch, which then simplifies to 1/6 of an inch.

Can someone help me, please? Also, can someone explain it?
Arada [10]

Answer:60m^2

Step-by-step explanation:you have to find the height of the triangle first which is easy bc it’s been split in half so the are now two right triangles. use the pythagorean theorem to determine the height, the height is 12, the formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2bxa and half of the base is already given to you, 5 so 5 x 12 equals 60

I just need help explaining it. solve the system of equation
Maksim231197 [3]

SOLUTION

Write out the equation

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{3}x-3 \\ 5x-3y=-3 \end{gathered}

To solve this system of equation, the aprropriate method will be substitution

Substitute the expression for y into the second equation for y, we have

5x-3(\frac{1}{3}x-3)=-3

Expand the paranthesis we have

\begin{gathered} 5x-x+9=-3 \\ \text{Simplify},\text{ by subtracting 9 from both sides } \\ 4x+9-9=-3-9 \\ 4x=-12 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 4, we have

\begin{gathered} \frac{4x}{4}=-\frac{12}{4} \\ \text{Then} \\ x=-3 \end{gathered}

Since the value of x has been obtained, we substitute into the first equation

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{3}x-3 \\ \text{ recall x=}-3 \\ y=\frac{1}{3}(-3)-3 \\ y=-1-4 \\ \text{Hence } \\ y=-4 \end{gathered}

Therefore

x = -3, y= -4

If you flipped two coins simultaneously, for a total of 24 times, how many times, on average, would you expect to get a head and
Bingel [31]

When two coins are flipped simultaneously 24 times, on average 12 times we will get a head and a tail.

For given question,

When two coins are tossed simultaneously, the sample space is as follows:

S = { HH, HT, TH, TT} where H denotes Head and T denotes tail.

Using the formula of probability,

P = Number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes,

we get,

P(HT) = 1/4

and

P(TH) = 1/4

We know that the occurrence of two mutually exclusive events is the sum of their individual probabilities.

So, P(Head on one and Tail on other)

= P(HT) + P(TH)

= 1/4 + 1/4

= 2/4

= 1/2

= 0.5

So, when two coins flipped simultaneously, the probability of flipping 2 coins and getting a head and a tail is 0.5

In this question, we need to find the number of times getting a head and a tail when two coins are flipped simultaneously 24 times

= 0.5 × 24

= 12

Therefore, When two coins are flipped simultaneously 24 times, on average 12 times we will get a head and a tail.

Type the correct answer in each box. The reflection of point S across the y-axis is point . The reflection of point Q across the
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

S' = (-5,-5)

Q"=(-5,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

S = (5,-5)

Q= (5,5)

Solving (a): Reflect S across y-axis

The rule to reflect across y-axis is:

(x,y) \to (-x,y)

So, we have:

S(5,-5) \to S'(-5,-5)

Hence:

S' = (-5,-5)

Solving (b): Reflect Q across x and y-axis

The rule to reflect across x-axis is:

(x,y) \to (x,-y)

So:

Q(5,5) \to Q'(5,-5)

The rule to reflect across y-axis is:

(x,y) \to (-x,y)

So:

Q'(5,-5) \to Q"(-5,-5)

Hence:

Q"=(-5,-5)
