What value of s makes the statement true? (–7 + s) + (–14) = (12 + (–7)) + (–14)

1 answer:

6 0

In order to find the answer we can add and subtract all the like terms together.

(-7+s)+(-14)=(12+(-7))+(-14)
(-7+s)+(-14)=(5)+(-14)
(-7+s)=5
s=12

So, the answer MUST be D.

A vending machine has 5 colors (white, red, green, blue, and yellow) of gumballs and an equal chance of dispensing each.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer in fraction form = 1/20

Answer in decimal form = 0.05

Answer in percent form = 5%

These are three ways to express the same thing

=============================================================

Explanation:

Assume the gumball machine only has 5 gumballs, one of each color. The probability of getting yellow is 1/5 since there is one that is yellow out of 5 total.

The probability of getting a lion rubber band is 1/4 for similar reasoning as above.

Because the two events (getting yellow, getting a lion) are independent, this means we can multiply the two probabilities to get (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20

Use your calculator to see that 1/20 = 0.05 which converts to 5% when you move the decimal point over 2 spots to the right.

Answer:

15% = 3/20 = 0.15

1.25 =125% =5/4

12 3/8 = 12.375 = 1237.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

15% to fraction , then decimal ;

$15\% = \frac{15}{100} \\Cross\:cancel\:common\:factor ; 5\\\\15\div 5 = 3\\100\div 5 = 20\\\\= \frac{3}{20}\\\\\frac{3}{20} = 0.15$

1.25 to fraction , then percentage

$1.25 = \frac{1.25}{1} \times \frac{100}{100} \\\\1.25\times 100 =125\\1\times 100 = 100\\\\= \frac{125}{100} \\= \frac{5}{4} \\\\1.25\times 100\\= 125\%$
