$\frac{17}{18}$ - $\frac{8}{9}$ =x
You must find a common denominator(bottom)
$\frac{8}{9}$ × $\frac{2}{2}$ = $\frac{16}{18}$
$\frac{17}{18}$ - $\frac{16}{18}$ = $\frac{1}{18}$
Your answer is x= $\frac{1}{18}$

At a museum cafe you can get a pre-made boxed lunch with a sandwich, fruit, and drink for only . The sandwiches are made with ei

Answer:

1/8 or 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

So, I started solving this problem by writing all the possible options, then pairing them each up with a fruit and drink..

...But when I read the question again, I noticed I forgot to leave out the fruit, as this question states that you're trying to retrieve "a turkey sandwich and a bottle of water.."

Well, oof.

Despite that, I'm still giving this answer as if it never left out the fruit. So, let's see what we need to do.

To find all the possible lunch options, I started out by writing down one of our meats, Turkey. As per requested, I made every possible turkey combination that included a fruit and drink, which gave me this:

Turkey, apple and water
Turkey, orange and water
Turkey, orange and juice
Turkey, apple and juice

Same for the ham:

Ham, apple and water
Ham, apple and juice
Ham, orange and juice
Ham, orange and water

Putting these together, this gives up 8 different lunchbox combinations. If we're trying to get one and we randomly select it, then we have a 1/8 chance of grabbing the turkey sandwich and a bottle of water....

..and a fruit.

Hope this helped!

If you need me to show my work, just comment me and I will attach a screenshot!

Write an equation of a parabola that passes through the point (2,4) with vertex (-1,-1) in vertex form.

quester [9]

An applicable equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is:

y-k = a(x-h)^2

Let x=2, y=4, h=-1 and k=-1, where (h,k) is the vertex. Then,

4-(-1) = a(2-[-1])^2, which becomes 5 = a(9). Therefore, a = 5/9, and the
equation of the parabola is

y+1 = (5/9)(x+1)

A bag contains red and blue marbles, such that the probability of drawing a blue marble is 3/8

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

9/64

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the marble on the first draw is blue is 3/8.

The probability that the marble on the second draw is blue is also 3/8.

So the probability that both are blue is:

3/8 × 3/8 = 9/64 ≈ 14%
