1/6 cup of water. In order to half something, you must divide by 2. When diving fractions, you must multiply by the reciprocal (opposite) so instead of 1/3 times 2/1, you would multiply 1/3 times 1/2. This gives you 1/6. To check this, divide 1/3 on a calculator. You’ll get 0. 33333333333. This divided by 2 is 0. 16666666666 which is 1/6.

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

Each triangle shown is a right triangle, meaning the angle is 90 degrees. All triangles equal 360 degrees, and you already have 2 90 degree angles, so just subtract 180 from 360 and you get 180.

The manager of a Finance Company has estimated that, because of a recession year, 7% of its 550 loan accounts will be delinquent

Aneli [31]

Answer: 0.03532

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : p = 0.07 , n= 550

Binomial probability distribution: $P(X=x)=\ ^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

The probability that exactly 45 of the accounts will be delinquent will be :

$P(X=45) = \ ^{550}C_{45}(0.07)^{45}(1-0.07)^{550-45}\\\\= \dfrac{550!}{45!505!}(0.07)^{45}(1-0.07)^{505}\\\\\approx0.03532$

Hence, the required probability = 0.03532

The original price of a skateboard was $85. The owner of the store

lora16 [44]

Answer:

$\$68$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

To solve this problem, one wants to find the price of a product after its discount has been applied. The discount is 20% off, so the new price of the item is 80% of its original price (percent is out of 100 so if a an item is 20% off, it is 100 - 20 = 80; 80% the original price). To calculate the percent cost, one would divide the percent value by 100, and then multiply it by the price of the item.

2. Solving

The price of the new item is 80% of the price of the original item. To calculate the percent cost, cent, one would divide the percent value by 100, and then multiply it by the price of the item.

Therefore, the equation that will be formed is,

$price * \frac{percent}{100}$
