Think about it logically. The answer is 4 1/2, since 4 was subtracted from 8, and there is still the 1/2.

1.
An expression of the form a \frac{b}{c} is called a "compound fraction"
 
Compound fractions can be written as simple fractions by multiplying c to a, and then adding the product to c as follows:

a \frac{b}{c}= \frac{c.a+b}{c}

for example, 

4\frac{1}{2} can be written as: 

4\frac{1}{2}= \frac{2.4+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}

2.

when we subtract or add a fraction \frac{m}{n} from an integer k, 

we first write k as a fraction with denominator n. We can do this as follows:

k=k. \frac{n}{n}= \frac{kn}{n}

for example, if we want to subtract \frac{9}{2} from 8, 

we first write 8 as a fraction with denominator 2:

8=8. \frac{2}{2}= \frac{8.2}{2}= \frac{16}{2}

3.

Thus, 

8-4 \frac{1}{2}= \frac{16}{2}- \frac{9}{2}= \frac{16-9}{2}= \frac{7}{2}

4.

The simple fraction 7/2 is not an option, so we write it as a compound fraction as follows:

\frac{7}{2}= \frac{6+1}{2}= \frac{6}{2}+ \frac{1}{2}=3+ \frac{1}{2}=3\frac{1}{2}

(So write 7 as the sum of the largest multiple of 2, smaller than 7 + what is left. In our case these numbers are 6 and 1, then proceed as shown)

Kylie is planning to provide online science and Chinese language tutoring sessions. The sciences
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

120 ≤ 20c + 40s

Step-by-step explanation:

(Assuming her name is Kylie, who is giving 40 minute science sessions and 20 minute Chinese sessions.)

The unit for time will be minutes.

Write an equation for time needed for science sessions

40s = t

Write an equation for time needed for Chinese sessions

20c = t

Combine the two equations for the total time.

20c + 40s = total time

She does not want the total time to be more than two hours.

Convert two hours to minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour.

2h * 60mins = 120 mins

Therefore t ≤ 120. Include this into the equation.

120 ≤ 20c + 40s

Can someone please let me know if these are the correct answers
Lostsunrise [7]

1. x >= 4, because 4 is dotted, and that means that 4 is included

2. x =/ 4, the third answer is correct, because all numbers except 4 are included

3. the first number line is the correct answer, because -3 is not included

4. the second number line is the correct answer, because -1 is included

5. the second number line is the correct answer, because 6 is not included

6. the first number line is the correct answer, because 0 is included

7. the second number line is the correct answer, because all numbers except -4 are included

8. the third number line is the correct answer, because -1,5 is included

When a number is included in an interval, it should have full dot on the number line, so that's how you know.

Hope this helps!

Based on a​ poll, among adults who regret getting​ tattoos, 12​% say that they were too young when they got their tattoos. Assum
Tema [17]

Answer:

a.  0.6588

b. 0.3978

c. 0. 279

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question the success and failure are given the number of outcomes is fixed so binomial distribution can be applied.

Here success=  p = 12 % or 12/100 = 0.12

failure = q= 1-p = 1-0.12 = 0.88

n= 10

Using binomial probability distribution

a. Probability that the number of selected adults saying they were too young is 0 or 1 is calculated as:

P (x=0,1) = 0.12 ⁰(0.88)¹⁰10 C0  + 0.12 (0.88)⁹ 10 C1=  1* 0.279 * 1  + 0.12 ( 0.3165) 10 =  0. 279 + 0.3978=  0.6588

b. Probability that exactly one of the selected adults says that he or she was too young to get tattoos is calculated as

P (x=1) =  0.12 (0.88)⁹ 10 C1=  0.12 ( 0.3165) 10 =  0.3978

c. Probability that none of the selected adults say that they were too young to get tattoos is

P (x=0) = 0.12 ⁰(0.88)¹⁰10 C0  =  1* 0.279 * 1   =  0. 279
