If you divide the cost by the ounces, that will be the unit rate.
3.60 divided by 12 is 0.3 or 30 cents. 5 divided by 20 is 0.25 or 25 cents. 6.40 divided by 32 is 0.20 or 20 cents
Answer:
The probability that a book picked at random is either a work written by an author who writes only nonfiction or a work written by a man is 75.8%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability, in this case, has to be calculated using the sum rule because the events are independent.
P = P(men) + P(non-fiction) - P(men non-fiction); where P is the probability. It means the probability that the random book was written by a man plus the probability that the random book was non-fiction minus the probability that the random book was written by a man who writes non-fiction. The probability that the random book was written by a man who writes non-fiction has to be subtracted, if not you will be duplicating it.
Facts:
P(men) = 60% = 99/165
P(non-fiction) = 40% = 66/165
P(men non-fiction) = 40/165
P = P(men) + P(non-fiction) – P(men non-fiction)
P = 99/165 + 66/165 – 40/165
P = 125/165
P = 0.758 or 75.8%
3 / 5 = (x+1) / (y-2)
↓
↓ multiply by 5 / 3
↓
1 = 5 * (x+1) / 3 * (y-2)
↓
↓ move and simplify
↓
5x + 5 = 3y - 6
↓
↓ minus 5
↓
5x = 3y - 11

↓ divide by 5
↓
Answer : x = (3y - 11) / 5
You can write the amount that they spent individually in a ratio where:
Holly : Jimmy
2 : 5
The total of this ratio would be 2+5 = $7.
To find the scale factor multiplier for the base ratio of 2:5:
35/7 = 5
Multiply both sides of the ratio by 5.
Holly : Jimmy
2 x5 : 5 x5
10 : 25
You can see that the total of this ratio is now $35, where Jimmy spent $25.
