Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is essentially (# times a specific event occurs) / (# times any general event occurs).

Here, the "specific event" is selecting a multiple of four. The multiples of 4 from 1 to 20 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 - there are 5 of these. So, the number of times the specific event can occur is 5.

The "general event" is selecting any number out of the 20. Since there are 20 numbers, then there are 20 ways that a general event occurs.

So, the probability is 5/20 = 1/4.

Answer: There is a 5 in 20 chance that he will select a multiple of 4.  This can also be represented as a percentage as in 25% because 5 out of 20 is the same as 25%

Step-by-step explanation: I got my answer by first figuring out all of the multiples of 4 in 20.  The multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20.  Since there are 5 different multiples that means there are 5 different slips of paper that he can choose that would fulfill the requirements of the given question out of the 20 slips of paper.  I got my percentage because 5/20 is the same as 25/100 which is 25%

Which is the answer to the following equation? 1 5/9 x 2 6/7 = ? A) 2 11/16 B) 2 10/21 C) 3 11/16 D) 4 4/9
kupik [55]
1 5/9 × 2 6/7=??

To find this out, we have to make both fractions improper fractions, by multiplying the whole numbers with the bottom numbers(denominator) and then adding the numerator(top number).

1 5/9= (9×1) + 5 = 14/9

2 6/7= (7×2) + 6 = 20/7

Now, we multiply them together.

14/9 × 20/7

Cross multiply. 

Your answer is now 40/9

Make that into a mixed number.

D)  4 4/9

You are downloading songs to your mp3 player the ratio of pop songs to rock songs is 5 to 4 you download 40 pop songs how many r
dmitriy555 [2]
The ratio of pop songs to rock songs you download is 5:4, and 40 are pop songs. You want to find out how many rock songs there are.
First, add the ratios together: 5+4=9. This means that 9 will be your denominator, so 5/9 songs are pop and 4/9 songs are rock.
Now you know that pop songs account for 5/9 of the songs, this means that 40 is 5/9 of the total songs. 
To find out how much 4/9 is, you need to divide 40 by 5 to get 1/9 and times that number by 4 to get 4/9:
40÷5=8×4=32 songs are rock songs
