Find the difference and write it in simplest form 7 3/8 - 2 7/9

1 answer:

4 0

Well first you have to turn the mixed number into a improper fraction.
7 2/8=59 over 8
2 7/9=25 over 9
Then u would multiply the 59 by 9 and 8 by 9 and u should get 531 over 72 and for the second fraction u should multiply the 25 by 8 and the 9 by 8 and you should get 200 over 72 as a improper fraction.
Then you have to subtract 531 over 72 by 200 over 72 and u should get 231 over 72 which is 4 and 43 over 72 when simplified.
The answer: 4 43/72
Hope this helps!!!!

Suppose a birth defect has a recessive form of inheritance. In a study population, the recessive gene (a) initially has a preval

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Maternal gene = 0.25; Paternal gene = 0.25

Probability having a birth defect = 0.25 X 0.25 = 0.625

b) P(A) = 0.30; P(B) = 0.70

P(A)*P(B) = 0.30 X 0.70 = 0.021

For marriage:

25%: P(A)*P(A)*0.25 = 0.09 X 0.25 = 0.0225

65%: P(B)*P(B)*0.65 = 0.049 X 0.65 = 0.03185

10%: P(A)*0.10 = 0.03 and P(B)*0.10 = 0.07

P(A)*P(B) = 0.03 X 0.07 = 0.0021

Probability of a defect birth in the next generation = 0.0225 + 0.03185 + 0.0021 = 0.05645

c) 1. P(A)*P(A) = 0.09

2. P(B)*P(B) = 0.049

3. P(A)*P(B) = 0.021

grigory [225]

Answer:

There are 80 nickels, 120 dimes and 300 quarters in the piggy bank.

All coins in the piggy bank worth $91.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please consider the complete question:

There are some nickels, dimes, and quarters in a large piggy bank. For every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes. For every 2 dimes there are 5 quarters. There are 500 coins total. How many nickels, dimes, and quarters are in the piggy bank? Explain your reasoning. How much are the coins in the piggy bank worth?

Let n, d, q represent number of nickles, dimes and quarters respectively.

For every 2 nickels there are 3 dimes. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$\frac{2}{n}=\frac{3}{d}...(1)$ or
