There are 8 states that begin with the letter m, so it would be 8/5 which = .16

List of U.S states that start with M:

1.Maine
2.Maryland
3.Massachusetts
4.Michigan
5.Minnesota
6.Mississippi
7.Missouri
8.Montana

There are 8 states that start with the letter "M".
There are 50 states so the probability/ratio is 8:50 or \frac{8}{50}

But to reduce to lowest terms, you need to find a common factor. 
2 is a common factor. 

Divide both sides by 2. 8÷2=4 and 50÷2=25

It is 4:25 which is also \frac{4}{25}

If you want the percentage instead of the ratio, divide the numerator (top number) by the denominator (bottom number)

4 ÷ 25=.16

Multiply by 100 and you get 16 which is equivalent to 16%

Answer: 

4:25 (ratio/probability)
or
16% (percentage)

A quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c=0 has -11 and 4 as solutions. Find the values of b and c if the value of a is 1 (hint, use zero f
Alina [70]

Answer:

b = 7, c = -44

Step-by-step explanation:

If the quadratic equation has the solutions -11 and 4, the two factors are:

(x+11)(x-4)=0

Since when we use the zero factor property we get

x+11=0 ⇒ x= -11

x-4=0 ⇒  x=4

Thus, we have used the zero factor property in reverse to find the factorization of the quadratic equation.

Now we develop the multiplications between parenthesis:

(x+11)(x-4)=0\\x^2-4x+11x-44=0\\x^2+7x-44=0

So b is the number that accompanies the x: b = 7

and c is the independent number: c = -44

A survey was done to determine the effect of students changing answers while taking a​ multiple-choice test on which there is on
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

6% of the changes were from incorrect to​ incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the percentages must be 100%.

We have these following percentages

65​% of the changes were from incorrect answers to correct

29​% were from correct to incorrect

P% were from incorrect to incorrect

So

65 + 29 + P = 100

P = 100 - 94

P = 6

6% of the changes were from incorrect to​ incorrect
