Option 2: $\frac{4x-3y}{3x+4y}$ is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given fraction is:

$\frac{\frac{x}{3}-\frac{y}{4}}{\frac{x}{4}+\frac{y}{3}}$

To solve the fraction, Taking LCM in denominator and numerator

$=\frac{\frac{4x-3y}{12} }{\frac{3x+4y}{12}}$

When the numerator and denominator both have fractions, the simplified form is obtained be multiplying the numerator with reciprocal of the denominator. So,

$= \frac{4x-3y}{12} * \frac{12}{3x+4y}\\=\frac{4x-3y}{3x+4y}$

Hence,

Option 2: $\frac{4x-3y}{3x+4y}$ is the right answer

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Natural Numbers :

These are numbers used for counting, they are the numbers on a number line. From -12 to 49, the natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, ..., 49.

Whole Numbers:

These are numbers that can be written without havin to write in fractions. They are 0, 1, 2, ..., 49.

Rational Numbers:

These are numbers that can be expressed as fractions.

Irrational numbers :

These are numbers that cannot be expressed as fractions.

Real Numbers:

These are numbers that can be used to measure quantities, they include negative, positive numbers and zero. From -12 to 49, all the numbers are real.

Prime Numbers:

These are numbers that are divisible only by one and themselves.

From 7 to 49, the numbers divisible by 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 49.

Only 7 is prime.

A tournament is being run between two teams, A and B. This is a 2- tournament meaning that the first team to win 2 games is the

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For first game PA = 1/3

For second game PA = 1/3 ( If A is not lost in first game )

= 2/5 (If A is lost in first game )

For conclusion of game in three matches :

If A wins , the probability is

PA , PB , PA = 1/3 X 2/3 X 3/5 = 6/45

PB , PA , PA = 2/3 X 3/5 X 1/3 = 6/45

If B wins

PA, PB, PB = 1/3 X 2/3 X 2/5 = 4/ 45

PB, PA , PB = 2/3 X 3/5 X 2/3 = 4 / 15

Total probability of conclusion of game in 3 matches

= 6/45 +6/45 + 4/45 +4/15 = 28/45

b )

For the game concluding in 2 matches , the probability are as follows

PA,PA = 1/3 X 1/3 = 1/9

PBPB = 2/3 X 2/5 = 4 / 15

Total probability

= 1/9 + 4/15 = 17/45

So PA = 1/9 / 17/45

= 5/17
