Total pedestrian deaths = 179

Total number of deaths that involved intoxicated driver = 96 + 40 = 136

Two accidents are randomly selected without replacement, thus;

Probability = desired outcome / total number of outcome

<span>Probability = (136/179) x (135/178) = 0.7597x0.7584 = 0.5761</span>

Fraction of the original length of Ribbon used by Henry for each bracelet is \frac{1}{16}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length of Ribbon cut by Henry in 8 equal pieces and use five of pieces. then out of remaining length make six bracelets.

From the question,

Fraction of each piece of the ribbon will be   \frac{1}{8}.

Then

He use 5 pieces and the number of remaining pieces is 3.

Now,

He makes 6 bracelets from those 3 pieces left So, fraction is  \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}

Here,

Fraction of length of bracelet to the original ribbon length will be \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{8}

Hence,

Fraction of the original length of Ribbon used by Henry for each bracelet is \frac{1}{16}.

What is the value of x in the equation 4x +8y=40, when y=0.8?<br> O 4.6<br> O 8.4<br> O 10<br> O 12
Tasya [4]
4x + 8y = 40

4x + 8(0.8) = 40

4x + 6.4 = 40
40 - 6.4 = 33.6

33.6 / 4 = x

33.6 / 4 = 8.4

The answer option 2, 8.4
