5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The 5 parts of the ratio represents 10 boys.

Divide number of boys by 5 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

$\frac{10}{5}$ = 2 ← value of 1 part of the ratio

There are 6 parts of the ratio representing girls, thus

6 × 2 = 12 ← number of girls in the class

Find the probability of getting tails on every toss of a coin when the coin is tossed 5 times.

icang [17]

Answer:

1/10, or 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 outcomes you can get from one toss, heads and tails. Therefore, if you tossed it once, the probability of landing tails would be 1/2, or 50%. Since you toss it 5 times, you will multiply the probability of one toss by five. 1/2x5 = 1/10, so your probability of landing tails on every toss when thrown 5 times is 1/10, or 10% :)

a square measuring 9 inches by 9 inches is cut from the corners of a square measuring 15 inches by 15 inches what is the area of

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

144 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the larger square, then subtract the area of the square we cut out.

The larger square has side length of 15, so it has an area of 15² = 225 in²

The smaller square has side length of 9, so it has an area of 9² = 81 in²

The area left over is

225 - 81 = 144 in²
