In the drawer you have a total of 4 socks: the one you already have, two of a different color and one of the same color of the first sock. If the first two socks you draw are of a different color, the third one will surely be of the color of the first sock.

There are two different colors of socks, so in the worst case scenario you can draw two different socks. Therefore you need to draw one more sock of any color to have a matching pair.

2+1=3 :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of liberaries = 8950

76% offered free acces to ebooks.

How many offered access to ebook = 76% / 100% x 8950

= 0.76 x 8950

= 6802

16/8 would be classified as a/an?<br> A:whole number <br> B:integer <br> C:Rational Number
gregori [183]

Answer:

Whole Number

Step-by-step explanation:

Numerator. This is the number above the fraction line. For 16/8, the numerator is 16.

Denominator. This is the number below the fraction line. For 16/8, the denominator is 8.

Improper fraction. This is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.

Mixed number. This is a way of expressing an improper fraction by simplifying it to whole units and a smaller overall fraction. It's an integer (whole number) and a proper fraction.

Now let's go through the steps needed to convert 16/8 to a mixed number.

Step 1: Find the whole number

We first want to find the whole number, and to do this we divide the numerator by the denominator. Since we are only interested in whole numbers, we ignore any numbers to the right of the decimal point.

16/8 = 2

Now that we have our whole number for the mixed fraction, we need to find our new numerator for the fraction part of the mixed number.

Step 2: Get the new numerator

To work this out we'll use the whole number we calculated in step one (2) and multiply it by the original denominator (8). The result of that multiplication is then subtracted from the original numerator:

16 - (8 x 2) = 0

Step 3: Our mixed fraction

We've now simplified 16/8 to a mixed number. To see it, we just need to put the whole number together with our new numerator and original denominator:

2 (0/8)

You maybe have noticed here that our new numerator is actually 0. Since there is no remainder, we can remove the entire fraction part of this mixed number, leaving us with a final answer.

Find the outputs.. please help
morpeh [17]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps are +2 then *4 then -8 then ÷2

Input  is 5

5 +2 =7 *4 = 28-8 = 20 ÷2 = 10     Output is 10

Input  is 9

9 +2 =11 *4 = 44-8 = 36 ÷2 = 18     Output is 18

Input  is 14

14 +2 =16 *4 = 64-8 = 56 ÷2 = 28     Output is 28

Input  is 18

18 +2 =20 *4 = 80-8 = 72 ÷2 = 36     Output is 36

Input  is 23

23 +2 =25 *4 = 100-8 = 92 ÷2 = 46     Output is 46

Input  is 7.5

7.5 +2 =9.5 *4 = 38-8 = 30 ÷2 = 20     Output is 20

Input  is 11.54

11.54 +2 =13.54 *4 = 54.16-8 = 46.16 ÷2 = 23.08     Output is 23.08

What is the exponential notation for 262,144
7nadin3 [17]

since there is always a decimal at the end of every value so :

           = 262144.0 

        you move the decimal backwards if there is no decimal between the value. you place the decimal after the 1st digit, you will also count the digits you have passed : 

         = 2.62144 X 10^5 

you passed 5 values so you put 5 in exponent form.
