Answer: Hence, our required probability is \dfrac{1}{386206920}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Numbers in a lottery = 60

Numbers to win the jackpot = 7 numbers

We need to find the probability to hit the jackpot:

So, our required probability is given by

P=\dfrac{^7C_7}{^{60}C_7}\\\\P=\dfrac{1}{386206920}

This is a combination problem as we need to select 7 numbers irrespective of any arrangements.

Hence, our required probability is [tex]\dfrac{1}{386206920}[/tex

1) What part of 20 is 5?<br> 2) What part of 20 is 12?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

  1. 1/4
  2. 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the part by expressing the ratio as a fraction, then simplifying.

1. 5/20 = (1·5)/(4·5) = (1/4)·(5/5) = 1/4

5 is 1/4 of 20.

__

2. 12/20 = (3·4)/(5·4) = (3/5)·(4/4) = 3/5

12 is 3/5 of 20.

Richard is given one of four pieces of equal-sized fabric. After using some of his fabric for a project, he has 5/6 of a square
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Richard used 2\frac{1}{12}\ yd ^2 of fabric for his project.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount of fabric = 11\frac23\ yd^2

Now To convert a mixed fraction to an improper fraction, Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator,  Add that to the numerator,Then write the result on top of the denominator.

11\frac23\ yd^2 can be Rewritten as \frac{35}{3}\ yd^2

Number of pieces fabric was cut = 4

Richard is given one of four pieces of equal-sized fabric.

Amount of fabric Richard was given = \frac14 \times \frac{35}{3}=\frac{35}{12}\ yd^2

Amount of fabric left with Richard = \frac56 \ yd^2

We need to find the amount of fabric Richards used for his project.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

amount of fabric Richards used for his project is equal to Amount of fabric Richard was given minus Amount of fabric left with Richard.

framing in equation form we get;

amount of fabric Richards used for his project = \frac{35}{12}-\frac56

Now we will make the denominator common using LCM we get;

amount of fabric Richards used for his project = \frac{35}{12}-\frac{5\times2}{6\times2} = \frac{35}{12}-\frac{10}{12}

Now Denominator is same so we will solve the numerator.

amount of fabric Richards used for his project  = \frac{35-10}{12}= \frac{25}{12}\ yds^2

\frac{25}{12}\ yds^2 can be rewritten as 2\frac{1}{12}\ yd ^2

Hence Richard used 2\frac{1}{12}\ yd ^2 of fabric for his project.
