Answer:

Amos/Butch

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Amos and Butch are sure shots, Cody hits only 50% of the time, and each of them have to fire shots, then the order of shots can be that:

Cody shot Amos and missed, Butch shot Cody and hit his target and Amos shot butch and also hit his target with Amos left standing

Or

It could also have been possible that Cody shot Butch and missed his target, Amos shot Cody and hit his target, Butch shot Amos and hit his target with Butch left standing

Hence Amos/Butch have the highest chance of survival.

How many sides has an equiangular polygon if one of its exterior angles is 25 5/7?
lys-0071 [83]
Step One
Figure out the interior angle
25 5/7 = 25.714285 repeating. The interior angle is the supplement of this angle.

180 - 25.714285 = 154.2857
The formula relating the number of sides and the interior equal angle is

interior equal angle = 180 ( 1 - 2/n) where n is the number of sides. (Google equiangular polygon to find this formula.)

154.2857 / 180 = 1 - 2/n) 
0.8571428 = 6/7 = 1 - 2/n
1/7 = 2/n
n = 14 sides
This figure is regular as well as equiangular.

Which justification describes the process?
tester [92]

Answer:

Option 1 - Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, 2 is subtracted from both sides of the equation.          

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Process

Step 1: 4x + 2 = 10

Step 2: 4x = 8

To find : Which justification describes the process?

Solution :

From step 1 to step 2, we subtract 2 both sides

Step 1: 4x + 2 = 10

Subtracting 2 both side,

⇒ 4x + 2-2 = 10-2

Step 2: 4x = 8

So, The best justification is 'Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, 2 is subtracted from both sides of the equation'.

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.

The first histogram has a large amount of cheaper books and doesn't have any books that are above $29.99. This histogram sells cheaper books. The second histogram sells a more even distribution of books by cost. There are no bins that are significantly higher than the rest. This second histogram sells more expensive books.

3rd pic:

The first set of data shows that the difference in the prices is very small while the second set of data shows a larger variety of prices. The first set represents its prices in equally divided groups making it easier to read and determine than the second set of data.
