Answer: 7.625 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weight of Alexandra's backpack = $7\frac{5}{8}\ pounds$ e the given weight is in mixed fraction.

To convert it into decimal ,first we need to convert it into improper fraction.

Thus, $7\frac{5}{8}=\frac{7\times8+5}{8}=\frac{61}{8}$

Now, convert the improper fraction into decimal, by dividing numerator by denominator, we get

$7\frac{5}{8}=7.625$

Hence, the weight of her backpack in decimal = 7.625 pounds.

there are 13 animals in the barn. some are chickens and some are goats. there are 48 legs in all. how many of each animal are th

romanna [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

chickens + goats = 13

so...

c + g = 13, so...

g = (13 - c)

2 legs times the number of chickens (2c) + 4 legs times the number of goats (4g) = 48 total legs. So...

2c + 4(13-c) = 48, so

2c + 52 - 4c = 48, so

-2c = -4, so

2c = 4, so

c = 2.

There are 2 chickens, and therefore 11 goats.

How do i draw a decimal for example 0.26?

elixir [45]

First, you need convert the decimals into fraction

0.26 = 26/100 = 13/50

The next step would be drawing 50 small boxes on a piece of paper. Make it colorless.

The final stap would be giving 13 out of those 50 boxes with different color (such as black), and you're done

In tossing four fair dice, what is the probability of tossing, at most, one 3

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer-

In tossing four fair dice, the probability of getting at most one 3 is 0.86.

Solution-

The probability of getting at most one 3 is, either getting zero 3 or only one 3.

$P(A) =The \ probability \ of \ getting \ zero \ 3 =(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{5}{6})=\frac{625}{1296} =0.48$ ( ∵ xxxx )

$P(B) = The \ probability \ of \ getting \ only \ one \ 3 =(4)(\frac{1}{6})(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{5}{6})(\frac{5}{6}) = 0.38$ ( ∵ 3xxx, x3xx, xx3x, xxx3 )

P(Atmost one 3) = P(A) + P(B) = 0.48 + 0.38 = 0.86
