Answer:

It should be the first answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first answer says "If Nemo is a fish, then he swims". That makes sense. Then the second one says "If Nemo does swim, then he is a fish". That would make sense, but if my name was Nemo, I can swim. That doesn't mean I'm a fish. The the third one says "If Nemo is not a fish, then he doesn't swim". That doesn't make sense. Say my name is Nemo. I'm not a fish. I can swim though!

Answer:

If Nemo is a fish, then he swims.

Step-by-step explanation:

The contrapositive is

If A implies B then not B implies not A.

If Nemo does not swim, then he is not a fish, so:

The contrapositive is: If Nemo is not not a fish then he does not not swim.

= If Nemo is a fish, then he swims.

Eduardwww [97]

The sample space of the experiment (i.e. the total number of ways he can pick 7 random pages out of a total of 6 + 4 = 10 pages) is given by:

$^{10}C_7=120$

If he picks at least 5 pages of maths homework, this means that he either picked 5 pages or 6 pages of maths homework.

The number of ways he can pick 5 or 6 maths homework is given by:

$^6C_5+{ ^6C_6}=6\times1=6$

Therefore, the probability that he recovers at least 5 pages of his math homework is given by:

$\frac{6}{120} = \frac{1}{20}$

Given the points A(-1,2) and B(7,8), find the coordinates of the point P on directed line segment AB that partitions AB in the r

tankabanditka [31]

Now despite what you may believe, 1:3 is not 1/3 in this situation. In this case, it means "1 equal part to 3 equal parts", which is a total of 4 equal parts. In short, this question is to place point P 1/4 the distance from A to B.

Firstly, how far apart is -1 from 7 (the x-coordinates)? That would be 8 units. Multiply 1/4 by 8:

$\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{8}{1}=\frac{8}{4}=2$
