Answer:
D. 2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability is calculate as a division between the number of ways in which Andrew will be selected and karen will not and the total ways in which they can select 4 people from a group of 8 volunteers.
The number of ways in which they can select 4 people from a group of 8 volunteers can be calculated using:

Where nCk give as the number of ways in which we can form groups of k elements from a group of n elements.
So, if we replace n by 8 and k by 4, we get:

Then, there are 70 ways to select 4 people from a group of 8 volunteers.
At the same way, the number of ways in which Andrew will be selected and karen will not can be calculate replacing n by 6 and k by 3 in the same equation as:

We replace n by 6 because from the 8 volunteers, Andrew is going to be selected and Karen will not, so, the people that affect the result are just the 6 remaining volunteers. Also, k is equal to 3 because Andrew is already selected and we just need to select 3 more people.
Finally, the probability is:

Hi!
1/4 of 20 pencils are 5 pencils.
Since he gave away 4 pencils,
Total = 5 + 4 = 9
Mr. Simms use and give away total 9 pencils.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle in the given problem is a right triangle, as the tower forms a right angle with the ground. This means that one can use the right angle trigonometric ratios to solve this problem. The right angle trigonometric ratios are as follows;

Please note that the names (
) and (
) are subjective and change depending on the angle one uses in the ratio. However the name (
) refers to the side opposite the right angle, and thus it doesn't change depending on the reference angle.
In this problem, one is given an angle with the measure of (35) degrees, and the length of the side adjacent to this angle. One is asked to find the length of the side opposite the (35) degree angle. To achieve this, one can use the tangent (
) ratio.

Substitute,

Inverse operations,


Simplify,


If x is the amount of time Gillian takes,
1/10 - 1/x = 1/25
Therefore, the answer is A
