The total number of ribbons is 8 because 4 + 3 + 1 is 8
The number of green ribbons is 3
That means that 3 out of the 8 ribbons are green
Answer: 3/8
First, find the probability of each event:
1) the probability that the spinner will land on a 7.
Since the spinner is split 4 equal sections and there is only 1 sector with 7, we can say the probability of getting a 7 is 1/4 as there is only 1 of 7 out of the total of 4 sections.
<em>and</em>
2) the probability that the spinner will land on B.
Since the spinner is split into 3 equal sections, and there is only 1 sector for B, we can say the probability of getting B is 1/3.
To find the probability of 2 events, we need to multiply the two probabilities.
1/4*1/3 = 1/12
So the answer is 1/12.
Answer:
-3

Step-by-step explanation:
When there is a lot of repetitive calculation to do, I like to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do it. The attached shows a spreadsheet that computes all the values you're asked to find.
For a linear equation in standard form, ax +by = c
- the x-intercept is: c/a
- the y-intercept is: c/b
- the slope is: m = -a/b
Of course, the slope-intercept form of the equation is ...
y = (slope)·x + (y-intercept)
and the values of the various points on the graph can be computed from that equation.
___
You will note that the last two equations describe the same line.
_____
<em>Note on spreadsheet formulas</em>
When you put the formulas into the spreadsheet, make sure to fix the column number or row number of the values you're computing, as appropriate. For example, the y-values in the different columns always use the slope from the slope column (fixed), the y-intercept from that column (fixed), and the x-value from the top row (fixed). If you make the cell references relative instead of fixed, you will get wrong answers.
