First, change each mixed fraction into improper

2 3/8 = 19/8

1 3/4 = 7/4

The problem will look like: (19/8)/(7/4)

To solve, flip the second fraction, and change the division sign into a multiplication sign.

(19/8)/(7/4) = (19/8) x (4/7)

Multiply across

(19/8) x (4/7) = 76/56

Simplify.

76/56 simplified = 19/14

Change to mixed fraction

19/14 = 14/14 + 5/14 = 1 5/14

1 5/14 is your answer

hope this helps

Answer:

$P(U |D ) = 0.198$

$P(O\ n \ B) = 0.188$

$P(O | B) = 0.498$

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of deaths is mathematically represented as

$T = 16 + 23 + \cdots + 16$

$T =623$

The total number of deaths in 1996 - 2000 is mathematically represented as

$T_a = 16 + 23+ \cdots + 30$

$T_a = 235$

The total number of deaths in 2001 - 2005 is mathematically represented as

$T_b = 17 + 16 + \cdots + 23$

$T_b = 206$

The total number of deaths in 2006 - 2010 is mathematically represented as

$T_c = 15 + 17 + \cdots + 16$

$T_d = 182$

Generally the the probability that it would occur under the tree given that the death was after 2000 is mathematically represented as

$P(U |D ) = \frac{P(A \ n\ U )}{P(A)}$

Here $P(A \ n\ U )$ represents the probability that it was after 2000 and it was under the tree and this is mathematically represented as

$P(A \ n\ U ) = \frac{Z}{ T}$

Here Z is the total number of death under the tree after 2000 and it is mathematically represented as

$Z = 35 + 42$

=> $Z = 77$

=> $P(A \ n\ U ) = \frac{77}{ 623}$

Also

$P(A)$ is the probability of the death occurring after 2000 and this is mathematically represented as

$P(A) = \frac{T_b + T_c}{ T}$

=> $P(A) = \frac{ 206+ 182}{623}$

$P(U |D ) = \frac{\frac{77}{ 623} }{ \frac{ 206+ 182}{623}}$

=> $P(U |D ) = 0.198$

Generally the probability that the death was from camping or being outside and was before 2001 is mathematically represented as

$P(O | B) = \frac{T_z}{ T}$

Here $T_z$ is the total number of death outside / camping before 2001 and the value is 117

$P(O \ n \ B) = \frac{117}{623}$

=> $P(O\ n \ B) = 0.188$

Generally the probability that the death was from camping or being outside given that it was before 2001 is mathematically represented as

$P(O | B) = \frac{ P( O \ n \ B)}{ P(B)}$

Here $P(B)$ is the probability that it was before 2001 , this is mathematically represented as

$P(B ) = \frac{T_a}{T}$

=> $P(B ) = \frac{235}{623}$

$P(O | B) = \frac{ \frac{117}{623}}{ \frac{235}{623}}$

=> $P(O | B) = 0.498$

Which graph represents the solution to the given system? <br> y = -2x + 5 and y = 3x - 2

sasho [114]

To find the X value of the solution, you would set the two equations equal to each other bu substitution:
if <span>y = -2x + 5 and y = 3x - 2,
</span>-2x + 5 must be equal to 3x - 2
solve for x... you should get 7/5

then, plug that into one of the original equations as X and you would get the Y value, 11/5

This point, (7/5,11/5) is where the two lines cross

What is the area of the parllelogtam shown below

Umnica [9.8K]

<h3>Answer: 16 square units</h3>

Let x be the height of the parallelogram. Right now it's unknown, but we can solve for it using the pythagorean theorem. Focus on the right triangle. It has legs a = 3 and b = x, with hypotenuse c = 5

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + x^2 = 5^2

9 + x^2 = 25

x^2 = 25-9

x^2 = 16

x = sqrt(16)

x = 4

This is a 3-4-5 right triangle.

The height of the parallelogram is 4 units.

We have enough info to find the area of the parallelogram

Area of parallelogram = base*height

Area of parallelogram = 4*4

Area of parallelogram = 16 square units

Coincidentally, the base and height are the same, which isn't always going to be the case. The base is visually shown as the '4' in the diagram. The height is the dashed line, which also happens to be 4 units long.
