The probability that the first horse wins is 2/7. The probability that the second horse wins is 3/10. Since the events that the first horse wins and the second horse wins are shared exclusive, the probability that either the first horse or the second horse will win is :

2/7 + 3/10= 41/70

Hope this is correct.

Translate to an equation and solve: The sum of two-fifths and f is one-half.<br> Provide<br> f=
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

9/10

1/2+2/5

Since these fractions have different denominators, we need to find the least common multiple of the denominators.The least common multiple of 2 and 5 is 10, so we need to multiply to make each of the denominators = 10

1/2 ∗ 5/5 = 5/10

5/2∗ 2/2= 4/10

Since these fractions have the same denominator, we can just add the numerators

5/10+ 4/10 = 9/10

Round to the nearest hundredth (Geometric Series problem)
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

15.98

Step-by-step explanation:

∑₁¹⁰ 8(\frac{1}{4} )^{n-1}

=8[1+\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{16} + ........ +t_{10}]

We have to use the formula of sum of a G.P. series with common ratio r < 1.

If the first term is a, the common ratio is r and the number of terms is n then the sum [a + ar + ar² + ar³ + ......... up to n terms] is given by  

[a \times\frac{1-r^{n} }{1-r}]

= 8[1 \times \frac{1-\frac{1}{2^{10} } }{1-\frac{1}{2} } ]

= 15.98 (Answer)
