Answer:

Probability of a prime number = 2/5.

Probability of last number being odd = 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 prime numbers (5 and 7) in the 5 numbers ( 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).

So Prob(Prime number being first) = 2/5.

There are 3 odd numbers and 2 even so:

Possible combinations of Odd (O) and Even (E) numbers with last number being Odd are:

OOO,  EEO, OEO or EOO.

Prob (OOO) = 3/5 * 1/2 * 1/3 =  3/30 = 1/10.

Prob(EEO) =  2/5 * 1/4 = 1/10.

Prob(OEO) = 3/5 * 1/2* 2/3 = 6/30 = 1/5.

Prob(EOO) = 2/5 * 3/4 * 2/3 = 12/60 = 1/5.

Therefore the probability of the last number being odd =

1/10 + 1/10 + 1/5 + 1/5

= 3/5  (answer).

Two cyclists leave towns 253 kilometers apart at the same time and travel towards each other. One cyclist travels 5km/h faster t
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The rate of the slower cyclist is

22\frac{4}{5}km/h

and that of the faster cyclist is

27 \frac{4}{5}km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

We let x be the rate of the slower cyclist

rate \times time = distance

From the question, the distance between the two towns is 253 and the time taken for the two cyclist to meet is 5 hours

so we can write the equation

5x + 5(x + 5) = 253

We simplify to get the value for x

\implies5x + 5x  + 25 = 253

\implies10x = 253 - 25

\implies10x = 228

\implies x =22 \frac{4}{5}

Hence the rate of the slower cyclist is

22 \frac{4}{5} km/h

and that of the rate faster cyclist is

27 \frac{4}{5}km/h

Does a dialation preserve an objects size
PSYCHO15rus [73]
No.
When you dilate an object, you multiply the values of the points of the figure by a set value. This results in an increase or decrease in size.
