Hello!

Let's think about the denominators we have. A seventh goes on forever in no specified order. A fifth an a fourth have set decimal values, 0.2 and 0.25, so they are not repeating decimals. A ninth is 0.111111..., it repeats like this forever in a specified order. Therefore, 2/9, or 0.222222...., would be a repeating decimal.

Therefore, our answer is $\boxed {\frac{2}{9}}$ .

I hope this helps!

alex41 [277]

Vol of sphere =4/3πr³
let the radius of cone be x.
vol of cone =1/3πx²h
when h=r, =1/3πrx²
since they have the same volume,
4/3πr³=1/3πrx²
4πr³=πrx²
x²=4r²
x=2r (radius)

Since the angle is positive, you can find any coterminal angle by applying:

Angle + x = 2π ==> 7π/6 + x = 2π ==> x = 2π - 7π/6

x= 12π/6 -7π/6 = 5π/6

So the angle 5π/6 is the coterminal of 7π/6

Ayo runs a fairground game.In each turn, a player rolls a fair dice numbered 1 - 6 and spins a fair spinner numbered 1 - 12.It c

aksik [14]

Using the definition of expected value, it is found that Ayo can be expected to make a profit of £55.8.

The <em>expected value</em> is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability.</u>

In this problem:

The player wins $6, that is, Ayo loses £6, if he rolls a 6 and spins a 1, hence the probability is $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{72}$ .

The player wins $3, that is, Ayo loses £3, if he rolls a 3 on at least one of the spinner or the dice, hence, considering three cases(both and either the spinner of the dice), the probability is $\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{11}{12} + \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1 + 11 + 5}{72} = \frac{17}{72}$
