14/1 ÷ 3/8 = please show work and answer fast

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: 37 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

14/1÷3/8=?

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal (inverse) of the second fraction.

Take the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping the numerator and denominator and changing the operation to multiplication. Then the equation becomes

14/1 × 8/3=?

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

14×8/1×3 = 112/3

This fraction cannot be reduced.

The fraction

112/3

is the same as

112÷3

Convert to a mixed number using

long division so

112/3=37 1/3

Therefore:

14/1 ÷ 3/8=37 1/3

If | 8x -2 | < 4, Which of the following is true of x? Explain as well.

wariber [46]

The true expression of the variable x in the inequality expression given as |8x - 2| < 4 is -0.25 < x < 0.75

<h3>What are inequality expressions?</h3>

Inequality expressions are mathematical statements that are represented by variables, coefficients and operators where the opposite sides are not equal

<h3>How to determine the true expression of the variable x?</h3>

The inequality expression is given as

|8x - 2| < 4

Divide through the above equations by 2

So, we have the following inequality expression

|4x - 1| < 2

Remove the absolute value sign from the inequality expression

So, we have

-2 < 4x - 1 < 2

Add 1 to all sides of the above inequality expression

So, we have

-1 < 4x < 3

Divide through the above inequality expression by 4

So, we have

-0.25 < x < 0.75

Hence, the true expression of the variable x in the inequality expression given as |8x - 2| < 4 is -0.25 < x < 0.75

The prior probabilities for events A1 and A2 are P(A1) = 0.20 and P(A2) = 0.80. It is also known that P(A1 ∩ A2) = 0. Suppose P(

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

(a) $A_1$ and $A_2$ are indeed mutually-exclusive.

(b) $\displaystyle P(A_1\; \cap \; B) = \frac{1}{20}$ , whereas $\displaystyle P(A_2\; \cap \; B) = \frac{1}{25}$ .

(c) $\displaystyle P(B) = \frac{9}{100}$ .

(d) $\displaystyle P(A_1 \; |\; B) \approx \frac{5}{9}$ , whereas $P(A_1 \; |\; B) = \displaystyle \frac{4}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$P(A_1 \; \cap \; A_2) = 0$ means that it is impossible for events $A_1$ and $A_2$ to happen at the same time. Therefore, event $A_1$ and $A_2$ are mutually-exclusive.

By the definition of conditional probability:

$\displaystyle P(B \; | \; A_1) = \frac{P(B \; \cap \; A_1)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(A_1 \; \cap \; B)}{P(B)}$ .

Rearrange to obtain:

$\displaystyle P(A_1 \; \cap \; B) = P(B \; |\; A_1) \cdot P(A_1) = 0.25 \times 0.20 = \frac{1}{20}$ .

Similarly:

$\displaystyle P(A_2 \; \cap \; B) = P(B \; |\; A_2) \cdot P(A_2) = 0.80 \times 0.05 = \frac{1}{25}$ .

Note that:

$\begin{aligned}P(A_1 \; \cup \; A_2) &= P(A_1) + P(A_2) - P(A_1 \; \cap \; A_2) = 0.20 + 0.80 = 1\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, $A_1$ and $A_2$ are collectively-exhaustive. Since $A_1$ and $A_2$ are collectively-exhaustive and mutually-exclusive at the same time:

$\displaystyle P(B) = P(B \; \cap \; A_1) + P(B \; \cap \; A_2) = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{25} = \frac{9}{100}$ .

By Bayes' Theorem:

$\begin{aligned} P(A_1 \; |\; B) &= \frac{P(B \; | \; A_1) \cdot P(A_1)}{P(B)} \\ &= \frac{0.25 \times 0.20}{9/100} = \frac{0.05 \times 100}{9} = \frac{5}{9}\end{aligned}$ .

Similarly:

$\begin{aligned} P(A_2 \; |\; B) &= \frac{P(B \; | \; A_2) \cdot P(A_2)}{P(B)} \\ &= \frac{0.05 \times 0.80}{9/100} = \frac{0.04 \times 100}{9} = \frac{4}{9}\end{aligned}$ .

Which is the initial value that shrinks an exponential growth function by 50%?

ValentinkaMS [17]

Suppose that the exponential growth function is y = 4^x.

If x = 1, then y = 4^1 = 4.
If x = 3, then y = 4^3 = 64.

Let the initial value be 1/2.

The growth function is now y = 1/2 * 4^x.

If x =1, then y = 2 which is half of the y value before adding the 1/2.

If x = 3, then y = 1/2 * 64 = 32.

Answer: 1/2
