The common denominator of the two fractions is: 8
1/4 = (1*2)/(2*4) = 2/82/8 = (1*2)/(1*8) = 2/8
Fractions adjusted to a common denominator1/4 + 2/8 = 2/8 + 2/82/8 + 2/8 = (2+2)/8(2+2)/8 = 4/84/8 = 1/2
The answer is 1/2.

hope this helps.

Express x in terms of a and b: b−7x=a−b

pav-90 [236]

B - 7x = a - b
Subtract b from both sides.

-7x = a - 2b
Divide both sides by -7.

x = $\frac{-a + 2b}{7}$

A local high school held a two-day fundraiser selling lunches. The equations shown represent the amount of money the school coll

Mademuasel [1]

Amount of money collected in the 2-day fundraiser is represented by the following equations:

12x + 4y = 152 .................. (i)
32x + 12y = 420 .................. (ii)

where x is the cost of a chicken lunch and y is the cost of a vegetarian lunch

Multiplying (i) with 3 and subtracting it from (ii)

36x + 12y - (32x + 12y) = 456 - 420

⇒ 4x = 36

⇒ x = 9

Put value of x in (i)

⇒ 12 × 9 + 4y = 152

⇒ 108 + 4y = 152

⇒ 4y = 44

⇒ y = 11

Hence, cost of the vegetarian meal is 11.

Stacy uses a spinner with six equal sections numbered 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to play a game. Write a probability model for this ex

allsm [11]

Answer:

We estimate to have 8.33 times the number 6 in 50 trials.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider a success to get a 6. In this case, note that the probability of having a 6 in one spin is 1/6. We can consider the number of 6's in 50 spins to be a binomial random variable. Then, let X to be the number of trials we get a 6 out of 50 trials. Then, we have the following model.

$P(X=k) = \binom{50}{k}(\frac{1}{6})^k(\frac{5}{6})^{50-k}$
