Answer: \dfrac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of children in a family is 1, 2, 3, or 4.

Little Joe (a boy) has no brothers. But he may have sisters.

The sample space for the number of child in Joe's family : {B, BG, BGG, BGGG}, where G represents girl and B represents boys.

Then , for the probability that he is an only child, favorable outcome = B

Thus, the probability that he is an only child is given by :-

=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcomes}}=\dfrac{1}{4}

Hence, the probability that he is an only child = \dfrac{1}{4}

When Jamie has $200 to purchase skateboard equipment, he will have spent more than 50 percent.

<h3>How to calculate the percentage?</h3>

From the information given, the total amount spent will be:

= $100 + $60 + $30 + $20 + $20 + $50 + $115

= $395

Since Jamie has $200 to purchase skateboard equipment, the percentage will be:

= 200/395

= 0.51

= 51%

Which sequence of transformations will verify that EFGH and quadrilateral EFGH and quadrilateral E'F'G'H are congruent?
levacccp [35]

D) EFGH moved onto E'F'G'H after rotating 180 counterclockwise around the origin and the reflecting across the y-axis.

<h3>How to carry out transformations?</h3>

From online resources gotten about this question, for quadrilateral EFGH and quadrilateral E'F'G'H to be congruent, what we must do first is to rotate 180° counterclockwise around the origin and then move EFGH onto E'F'G'H'.

The last step to get this proof of congruency is to reflect across the y-axis.
