What is 2 1/8 take away 1/2​

Mathematics
1 answer:
goblinko [34]3 years ago
5 0

The equation is 2\frac{1}{8} - \frac{1}{2} .

1/2 is equivalent to 4/8, and 2 1/8 is equal to 17/8. (two full sets of 8 + 1 = 8 + 8 + 1, or 17)

The new equation is \frac{17}{8} -\frac{4}{8} . Subtract the numerators.

17 - 4 = 13 or 13/8

The improper fraction \frac{13}{8} simplifies to 1\frac{5}{8} .

<h2>Answer:</h2>

1\frac{5}{8}

Hope this helps :)

If two events a and b are independent and you know that p(a) = 0.65, what is the value of p(a | b)?
Ksivusya [100]
Let's think of an example which would better help visualize this situation. 

1) Someone exercises a lot so they can concentrate more on their homework (here running and concentration on homework are dependent events)

2) Someone exercises a lot because they wear a blue t-shirt (here, you can clearly see that wearing a blue shirt and exercising are not related. These events are independent).

Now concentrating on P(a | b) = Probability a occurred if b occurred. 

It does not matter if b occurred (just like it didn't matter that the person wore a blue shirt which meant that they exercised) for the outcome a to occur. 

Therefore, probability of P(a | b) = P(a) 

P(a | b) = 0.65 

Hope I helped :)
