Answer:
Jamie's claims are correct because 3/10 of the spool twine is left over after using 1/2 of the spool twin for friendship knot
Step-by-step explanation:
Full question: He claims to have 3/10 of the original spool of twine leftover.
First, we compare 3/10 with 4/5 - 1/2
The lowest common multiple for2 and 5 is 10.
To write 4/5 as a fraction with common denominator, multiply numerator and denominator by 2
4/5 = (4×2)/(5×2) = 8/10
To write 1/2 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply denominator and numerator by5
1/2 =(1×5)/(2×5) = 5/0
So we have :
8/10 - 5/10
Since denominators are equal ,we go ahead and subtract
8/10 - 5/10 = (8-5)/10 = 3/10
Answer: 0.3741
Step-by-step explanation:
Poison probability ;
P(x) = [U(^x) e(^-U)] ÷ x!
Where U = mean
Note: e = exponential symbol
Number of checks that year = 171
Number of days in a year = 365
U = 171/365 = 0.468
Average checks per day = 0.4685
Probability that at least one check was written per day is can be calculated by;
P(not 0) = 1 - P(0)
Therefore,
P(x) = [U(^x) e(^-U)] ÷ x!
P(0) = [ 0.4685^0 * e^-0.4685] ÷ 0!
P(0) = [ 1 * 0.6259] ÷ 1
P(0) = 0.6259
Therefore,
P(not 0) = 1 - 0.6259 = 0.3741

<u><em>The correct answer is: </em></u>C) his solution for x is correct, but in order for 6 to be an extraneous solution, one denominator has to result in 0 when 6 is substituted for x.
<u><em>Explanation: </em></u><span><u>To solve this rational equation, we cross multiply: </u>
8*(x-4)=2*(x+2).
<u>Using the distributive property, we have </u>
8*x-8*4=2*x+2*2;
8x-32=2x+4.
<u>Subtract 2x from each side: </u>
8x-32-2x=2x+4-2x;
6x-32=4.
<u>Add 32 to each side: </u>
6x-32+32=4+32;
6x=36.
<u>Divide both sides by 6:</u>

x=6.
<u>Extraneous solutions</u> are solutions that come about in the problem but are not valid solutions to the problem; the only values of x that would give this sort of answer are -2 and 4, since these are the two values that would make one of the denominators 0 (we cannot divide by 0).</span></span>
