Answer: 21/4 or 5 1/4

Explanation:
3 3/4 divide by 5/7
= 15/4 x 7/5
= 105/20
= 21/4 or 5 1/4

Rewrite 3 3/4 as an improper fraction

3 3/4 = 15/4

Now you have

15/5 / 5/7

When you divide fractions, change the division to multiplication and flip the second fraction over:

15/4 x 7/5

Now multiply the top numbers together and the bottom numbers together:

( 15 x 7) / (4 x 5) = 105/20

Write as a proper fraction:

105/20 = 5 1/4

Rewrite in standard form identify the degree of the polynomial and the number of terms

Alenkasestr [34]

Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = y

Basically, you put all the numbers from greatest to least with exponents then variables.

We have the numbers:

-x²

2x^5

-7x

Put these numbers from least to greatest from the exponents.

2x^5 - x² - 7x + 9

The degree of the polynomial is the number with the greatest exponent. In this case, the highest exponent is 5.

The degree of the polynomial is 5.

Best of Luck!

Hey (; I'm taking this rigorous AP Stat course and I've mastered Binomial Sampling but this Geometric Sampling just has me stump

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

1) It is geometric

a) In each trial you can obtain 11 or obtain something else (and fail)

b) Throw 2 dices and watch if the result is 11 or not

c) The probability of success is 1/18

2) It is not geometric, but binomal.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) This is effectively geometric. When you see the sum of 2 dices, you can separate the result in two different outcomes: when the sum is 11 and when the sum is different from 11.

A trial is constituted bu throwing 2 dices and watching if the sum of the dices is 11 or not.

In order to get 11 you need one 5 in one dice and 1 six in another. As a consecuence, you have 2 favourable outcomes (a 5 in the first dice and a 6 in the second one or the other way around). The total amount of outcomes is 6² = 36, and all of them have equal probability. This means that the probability of success is 2/36 = 1/18.

2) This is not geometric distribution. The geometric distribution meassures how many tries do you need for one success. The amount of success in 10 trias follows a binomial distribution.

Olivia has 48 slices of ham and 36 slices of cheese to make sandwiches.

serious [3.7K]

The greatest number of sandwiches that Olivia can make is 12.

3 slices of cheese will be on each sandwich

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, Olivia has 48 slices of ham and 36 slices of cheese to make sandwiches.

We have to find what is the greatest number of sandwiches that Olivia can make? And how many slices of cheese will be on each sandwich?

Let the number of sandwiches be "n"

Then, number of slices of ham per sandwich $=\frac{48}{n}$

And, number of slices of cheese per sandwich $=\frac{36}{n}$

As slices can’t be fractions, "n" should be a factor of 48 and 36. So now let us find H.C.F of 48 and 36 as we want greatest number of sandwiches that Olivia can make.

The factors of 48 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48

The factors of 36 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36

The common factors are those which appear on both factors of 48 and 36 are 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12.

Out of these common factors, 12 is the greatest

So, H.C.F of 48 and 36 is 12, which means n = 12

Then, number of cheese slices per sandwich $=\frac{36}{12}=3$

Hence, 12 sandwiches can be made with 3 slices of cheese per sandwich.
