Answer:
1/27
Step-by-step explanation:
The outcomes when rolling a die are 1,2,3,4,5,6
getting less than 3 = 1,2
P( less than 3) = outcomes of less than 3 / total
= 2/6 = 1/3
Since the events are independent we can multiply the probabilities
P( less than 3, less than 3, less than 3) = 1/3 * 1/3*1/3 = 1/27
Answer is D & C
Explanation: I did this
Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).
Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.
Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).
"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.
xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k
Now, when x = 8 children,
8y = 1680
y = 210
Answer:
5.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we calculate the y value for the point Q that is located two thirds the distance from point P to point R, we need to get the distance of point p from point R using the formula for calculatingf the distance between two points
D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
Given P(−2, 7), and R(1, 0)
RP = √(1-(-2))²+(0-7)²
RP = √3²+(-7)²
RP = √9+49
RP =√58
To get the y value for point Q that is located two thirds the distance from point P to point R, this will give
PQ = y = 2/3 of √58
= 5.1
