Answer:

0.7 = 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 cans, and she will pick 2, so the number of possibilities that she can pick 2 cans is a combination of 5 choose 2:

C(5,2) = 5!(3!*2!) = 5*4/2 = 10

To find how many possibilities there are with at least 1 can of soup, we can find the number of groups that include no cans of soup, and then see how many possibilities complete the total 10:

There are 3 "no-soup" cans, so the number of possibilities is a combination of 3 choose 2:

C(3,2) = 3!/2! = 3

So, there are 3 possibilities that have no cans of soup, so the number of possibilities that have at least 1 can of soup is 10 - 3 = 7

Then, the probability is 7 / 10 = 0.7 = 70%.

Which of the following comparisons is correct?<br>-2 2<br>4&lt;−4<br>−6&lt; −5

<h3>Answer: Choice D)   -6 < -5</h3>

================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices

  • A) This is false because -2 is actually larger than -5. Make a number line and you'll see that -2 is to the right of -5. Numbers on the right are larger than numbers on the left.
  • B) This is also false. The value 0 is smaller than 2. A number line might help show this.
  • C) Also false. It should be 4 > -4. Any positive number is always larger than any negative number.
  • D) This is true. On a number line, -6 is to the left of -5, so -6 is smaller than -5. This makes -6 < -5 a true statement.

GIVING AWAY 50 POINTS TO WHOEVER SHOWS LEGIT WORK!
miss Akunina [59]
S= one length of square 1
S+1 = one length square 2
S+2= one length square 3

Our equation would be
S^2+(S+1)^2+(S+2)^2=365

Idk if it would be called distribute but.. distribute
S^2+S^2+2S+1+S^2+4S+4=365

Add like terms
3S^2+6S-360=0

Divide everything. By 3
S^2+2S-120=0

Factor
(S-10)(S+12)=0

The two solutions are:

S-10=0
S=10

S+12=0
S=-12

Since a length can’t be a negative the only possible solution would be 10

Since a perimeter is all lengths added together we can multiply the length by four to get the perimeter

Square 1
10*4=40
Perimeter is 40cm

Square 2
S+1 =11
11*4=44
Perimeter is 44cm

Square 3
S+2=12
12*4=48
Perimeter is 48cm

Add all the perimeters together to get the total perimeter:

Total perimeter:
40+44+48=132

The total perimeter is 132cm

I hope this helps. Sorry if I messed up anything on here it was kinda hard to keep track of everything. Feel free to ask if you need anything cleared up :)

I really need help with this please ! I don't understand it, and I have a quiz tomorrow

You can do this by finding a number close to it, and then finding out how to do it.

For example with 63(square root sign), find out what is close to it.

7x7=49 while 8x8=64

Because of this, we now know that it is between 7 and 8 but is also really close to 8.

Our number could be 7.9

Hope this helped!!!
