2/3 - 5/12 = 1/4

Steps:
(2 * 12) - (5 * 3) / 3 * 12 (Cross multiplication)
= 9/36
9/9 = 36/9
= 1/4

Hope this helps you! (:

You must divide 3/5 pt by 6.

$\frac{3}{5} ~pt \div 6 = \dfrac{3}{5} ~pt \div \dfrac{6}{1} = \dfrac{3}{5}~pt \times \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{3}{30}~pt = \dfrac{1}{10} ~pt$

. Micro Office Products has issued 5,000 shares of cumulative preferred stock that will earn dividends at $2.38 per share; it ha

quester [9]

110000 is the total dividends of both preferred stock and common stock
So we need to find the dividend per share common stock

First find the total dividends of preferred stock
5,000×2.38=11,900

Subtract the total dividends of preferred stock for the total dividends to find the total dividends of common stock
110,000−11,900=98,100

Finally divide the total dividends of common stock by the number of common stock to find the dividend per share of common stock
98,100÷12,000=8.175....answer

Hope it helps!

Help!! Question on probability. Wi give brainliest!!

Aleks [24]

Answer:

$P = \frac{5}{282} = 0.0177$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the total amount of apples in the crate:

Total = 10 + 14 + 4 + 18 = 46 apples

The probability of the first apple being a golden delicious apple is the number of those apples over the total number of apples:

$P(golden) = \frac{N(golden)}{N(total)}$

$P(golden) = \frac{4}{48} = \frac{1}{12}$

Then, the probability of the second apple being a granny Smith apple is the number of those apples over the total number of apples, but now the total number of apples is one less, because one apple was removed from the crate:

$P(granny) = \frac{N(granny)}{N(total)-1}$

$P(granny) = \frac{10}{47}$

The final probability we want is the product of those two probabilities:

$P = P(golden) * P(granny) = \frac{1}{12} \frac{10}{47} = \frac{10}{564} = \frac{5}{282}= 0.0177$
