I divided 5 by 9 and multiplied it by 100 to get the percentage for the probability the horse will win. I got 55.55%. I subtracted 55.55 from 100 and got 44.45% chance of not winning the race.

Answer: \dfrac{9}{14}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that , In probability the odds for an event is the ratio of the favorable outcomes to the unfavorable outcomes.

We are given that ,

The racetrack publishes that the odds in favor of a horse winning a race are 5 to 9 .

i.e. favorable outcomes for horse winning a race = 5

i.e.  unfavorable outcomes for horse winning a race = 9

Now , Total outcomes = favorable outcomes+  unfavorable outcomes

= 5+9 = 14

Then, the probability that the horse will not win the race=\dfrac{\text{Unfavorable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

=\dfrac{9}{14}

Hence, the probability that the horse will not win the race =\dfrac{9}{14}

In the triangles, Line segment A C is-congruent-to line segment F E and Line segment B C is-congruent-to line segment D E. Trian
choli [55]

Answer:

Line segment A B is longer than Line segment F D. This is the correct statement from the given statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

In ΔABC and ΔFDE

Segment AC≅Segment FE

Segment BC≅Segment DE

∠BCA = 72° and ∠DEF = 65°

Now by the property of a Triangle we know that

Side opposite to the greater angle is longer than the side opposite to the smaller angle.

So, Side opposite to the greater angle (∠BCA = 72°) is AB and

The side opposite to the smaller angle (∠DEF = 65°) is FD.

Therefore, side AB is Longer than side FD.

In this situation, which equation is NOT equivalent to the rest? Mrs. Jones deducts $3 from each of her 5 children's allowances
lawyer [7]

Answer:

c. 5x - 3 = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Jones deducts $3 from each of her 5 children's allowances this week because they didn't finish their chores. They then received a total of $125 in allowance. a. 5(x - 3) = 125

b. 5x - 15 = 125

c. 5x - 3 = 125

d. 5x = 140

Solution:

Let x represent the allowance for each of Mrs. Jones children. Since she deducts $3 from each children because they didn't finish their chores, the allowance for each child becomes x - 3.

There are 5 children, hence the allowance for the 5 children would be:

5(x-3)

Since they received a total of $125 in allowance, hence:

5(x-3) = 125

5x - 15 = 125

5x = 125 + 15

5x = 140

Option c is wrong
