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)

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:    ts  6  11    19    56

Laura, David, and Carlos served a total of 115 orders

David served 3 times as many orders as Carlos.                 David = 3x

Laura served 10 more orders than Carlos.                      let Carlos = x

How many orders did they each serve?                           Laura  =  x + 10

     Carlos  +  David  +  Laura  = 115

          x  +     3x    +    x+10       = 115

                        5x + 10     =  115

                               5x   =  115 - 10

                               5x   =  105

                                x   =   21    Carlos

                                          63   Davide

                                          31    Laura

                 add then up    115  Total

6. If f(x) = 3x +3 and g(x)=-3+2x, find the rule of the function 2g(x)+2f(x).
mars1129 [50]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

10x

Solution:

If f(x) = 3x +3 and g(x) = -3 +2x, then 2g(x) +2f(x) is:

2(-3 +2x) +2(3x +3) \\ -6 +4x +6x +6 \\ (-6 +6) +(4 +6)x \\ 0 +10x \\ 10x
