It will be less than the first factor.
Answer: He has planted 2/3 and there is 1/3 left to plant.
Explanation: You need to add your fractions together, because each of those is a section of the garden and you need the total of how much of the garden he has planted.
This isn’t too difficult because the denominators are the same.
5/12 + 3/12 = 8/12
It is 8/12 because since the denominators are the same, you just need to add the numerators. Imagine you have a pie that’s cut into 12 pieces, and you and your friends take 5, and then your family takes 3. How many or gone now? 8 pieces. From how many pieces? 12 pieces. So 8/12 pieces are gone.
So Peter has planted 8/12 of his garden. This however, can be simplified, because both of those numbers divide by 4.
8/4 = 2
12/4 = 3
So 8 is now 2, and 12 is now 3.
This is now 2/3.
If there is 2/3 gone, you need to figure out how much is left to get you to 1.
In this instance, 1 can be rewritten as 3/3, because 3 divided by 3 is 1.
In order to get from 2/3 to 1, you need to add 1/3, one more third to the two thirds you already have.
This means Peter has 1/3 left to plant.
Hope this helps :)
Fibonacci is famous for his contributions to number theory.
In his book, Liber abaci he introduce the Hindu-Arabic place-valued decimal systems and the use of Arabic Numerals into Europe.He introduced the bar we use in fractions, previous to this, the numerator has quotations around it. The square root notation is also is Fibonacci method.
Answer:
<h2>32/1125</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.
Probability = Expected outcome of event/Total outcome.
If a video rental store keeps a list of their top 15 movie rentals each week, the total outcome is 15.
If the list for the week includes 6 action, 4 comedies, 3 dramas, and 2 mysteries and the store manager removes a copy of each of the 15 movies from the shelf, then randomly selects 3 of the 15 to show on the display monitors in the store, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be calculated as shown;
Probability of selecting 2 comedies = 4/15*4/15 = 16/225 (Note that the expected outcome in this case is 4).
Probability of selecting 1 action movie = 6/15 = 2/5
<em>Hence, the probability that she selected 2 comedies and 1 action movie will be equivalent to 16/225*2/5 = 32/1125</em>
<em>Note that the rented movies will have to be returned hence reason for the replacement. </em>
