In the first slot lets calculate the chance of getting a w: 1/5

In the second slot calculate the chance of getting a o: 1/4 (notice how it's 4 not 5 because you already have one letter in the first slot so you have 4 left to choose from.)

In third slot, chance of getting a r: 1/3

In fourth slot, chance of getting a l: 1/2

In the fifth slot, if you got all the first four letters right, than you would be left with one letter, so your chances are 1/1 (100%) for the fifth slot



To calculate probability multiply all the fractions we got above: 1/5 x 1/4 x 1/3 x 1/2 x 1/1

We will then get: 1/(5x4x3x2x1) = 1/120

1/120 is the probability of the 5 slots showing the word "world"

Simplify this expression, you are y years old. Your sister is 3 years older than you. Your uncle is 4 times older than your sist
uysha [10]

Answer:The simplified expression that represents the uncle's age is

4y + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represent your age.

Your sister is 3 years older than you. This means that your sister's age is y + 3

Your uncle is 4 times older than your sister. It means that the age of your uncle would be

4(y + 3)

The simplified expression that represents your uncle's age would be

4y + 12

Which step is incorrect and what is the correct answer?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step 4, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 4 was wrong, instead of 6x = 6, it should be 6x = 18. They shoudl've added 6 to both sides instead of subtracting 6 as ur trying to cancel out the 6 on the left side of the equation. So:

6x = 18

x = 3
