First turn 1/2 to 2/4 so you have a common denominator.
Next turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
11 3/4 --> 47/4 and 8 2/4 --> 34/4
Subtract:
47/4 - 34/4 = 13/4
Divide:
13/4 = 3.25
3.25/2 --> 1.625 or 1 5/8
Therefore, he will have to place it 1 5/8 feet from each side

Hope this helps!

How do I change this into the simplest form?
mr Goodwill [35]

(Please correct me if I'm reading one of the numbers wrong.)

-5.8 + 2.6

We can rewrite this equation so it's easier to read like this:

2.6 - 5.8 (the answer will still be the same)

In the original equation, you're simply adding 2.6 to -5.8.

In the new equation, you're taking 5.8 away from 2.6.

An easy way to solve this is to ask "what's the difference between 5.8 and 2.6?", which is 3.2.

The answer to this problem is -3.2, because we're taking a larger number away from a smaller number.

Complete each statement. An event with a probability of 0 is An event with a probability of 1 is
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

An event with a probability of 0 is impossible.  

An event with a probability of 1 is certain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is typically expressed in terms of a fraction between 0 and 1 where the denominator is the total number of outcomes and the numerator is the number of desired outcomes.  Since probability is expressed as a fraction, if the probability is 0, that means it is impossible, or there is no chance that the event can happen.  However, if the probability is 1, that means that the event is certain to happen and the odds are completely in your favor that the event will happen.
