3/8 of a foot = 3/8 x 12/1  or 4  1/2 inches

So our 1/2 inch grows by a factor of 9  because 4 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 9  Think how many 1/2 dollars are in 4  1/2 dollars.  (Answer is 9)

So our 8 4/9 in the catalog has to grow the same

8  4/9   x 9  = 8  4/9  x 9/1 = 76/9 x 9/1  or 76 inches which is 6 ft 4 inches.
(76 ÷12 = 6 r4)

Write an expression for the model. Find the sum. options: a) 2 + (–3); 1 b) –3 + 2; 5 c) 2 + 3; 5 d) 2 + (–3); –1
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

c) 2 + 3 = 5                   TRUE

d) 2 + (–3) = -1              True

Step-by-step explanation:

When adding integers (positive and negative whole numbers), there are three cases:

  • Positive and positive increases and sum is positive. Ex. 4 + 6 = 10
  • Positive and negative where you subtract and take the sign of the larger number. Ex. 3 + -8 = -5 or -3 + 8 = 5
  • Negative and negative decrease and the sum if negative. Ex. -4 + -6 = -10.

Use these rules to simplify each expression.

a) 2 + (–3) = -1 not 1     FALSE

b) –3 + 2 = -1 not 5      FALSE

c) 2 + 3 = 5                   TRUE

d) 2 + (–3) = -1              True

A container holds 50 electronic components, of which 10 are defective.
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

There is some inforrmation that is missing in this question. It should read:

A container holds 50 electronic components, of which 10 are defective. If 6 components are drawn at random from the container, the probability that at least 4 are not defective is . If 8 components are drawn at random from the container, the probability that exactly 3 of them are defective is .

Answers

Part 1.   0.02

Part 2.  0.0375

Explanation

The probability is a chance of an event happening. It is calculated as;

probability = (Number of favourable outcome)/(Number of available outcome)

Part 1

6 are chosen at random. If 4 are not defective, then 2 are defective.

P(at least 4 are not defective) = 4/40 × 2/10

                                               = 1/10 ×1/5

                                               = 1/50

                                                = 0.02

Part 2

8 are chosen at random. If 3 are defective, the 5 are not defective.  

P(3 are defective) = 3/40 × 5/10  

                            = 15/400

                            = 3/80

                           = 0.0375
