Convert 1 and 1/2 to eights to make it easier to subtract. 1 4/8 add 1 to 4/8
12/8 then subtract that by 7/8 straight across the numerator. That then equals 5/8

What is the lcm of 4 and 5
timama [110]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

4 * 1 = 4        5 * 1 = 5

4 * 2 = 8        5 * 2 = 10

4* 3 = 12        5 * 3 = 15

4 * 4 = 16       5 * 4 = 20

4 * 5 = 20


they both go into 20 equally. there is no number lower than 20 that they both go into

1. Three apples, a, and two peaches, p, sell for $1.25.
Simora [160]

Answer:

$0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use systems of equations to solve this.

3a+2p = 1.25

5a+p = 1.5

Multiply the second equation by 2.

3a+2p = 1.25

10a+2p = 3

Subtract the bottom from the top

-7a= -1.75

Divide by -7

a= 0.25

Each apple is $0.25 (in this case, the peach also costs $0.25)

You are given an unfair coin (i.e. a coin where the probability of it landing on either side is NOT 1/21/2) and told that the pr
andrey2020 [161]

Here we have a problem of probability, we will find that the probability of landing in heads is M/N = 1/3, then we have:

M + N = 1 + 3 = 4.

Let's see how we got that:

Let's define:

p = probability of landing on tails

q = probability of landing on heads.

The probability of getting at least one tails in 3 tosses is 26/27

This means that the probability of not getting tails in the 3 tosses is:

P = 1 - 26/27 = 1/27

And the case where you do not get any tails in the 3 tosses, means that in all the 3 tosses you got heads.

The probability of getting 3 heads in a row is:

P = q^3 = 1/27

Solving for q, we get:

q = ∛(1/27) = 1/3

Now we want to express q = M/N = 1/3

then we have:

M = 1

N = 3

Now we want to compute M + N = 1 + 3 = 4
