Answer:
(a) 1/4
(b) answer in explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are told that we have a spinner and the spinner has 12 equal sized sections with three of the sections purple in color. We are now asked to calculate the probability of the spinner landing on the color purple.
Checking, we can see that this is a probability question. The spinner has the options of stopping at 12 different positions but amongst these 12 positions, 3 of the positions are painted purple. We now need to know the probability of the spinner landing on purple.
To get the probability of this, what we simply do is to divide the number of purple options by the total number of outcomes we have. The number of purple options is 3 while the total outcome we have is 12. The probability is thus P(of purple is) = 3/12 = 1/4
(b) we are asked to use words to describe the probability
From the probability in the question, what we can see is that if the spinner is spinner 4 different times, there is a chance that 1 out of all the chances will produce a result where we have the spinner landing on one of the purple color section.
What this actually means is that there is a 25% chance within every spin for the spin to land in the purple color section of the spinner
Answer:
3 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Sandra throws an object straight up into the air with initial velocity of 38 ft per second from platform that is 30 ft above the ground.
To find the time it will take for object to hit the ground, we will use formula:
, where, 
represents initial velocity and 
represents initial height.
Upon substituting our given initial velocity and initial height, we will get:
We know that object will hit the ground, when height will be 0, so we will equate object's height equal to 0 and solve for t as:
Divide by 2:
Upon using quadratic formula, we will get:
Since time cannot be negative, therefore, it will take 3 seconds for object to hit the ground.
Answer:
33
Step-by-step explanation:
For every 5 squares, two are red and three are green. So 3/5 of the squares are green.
3/5x55=33
We know that the sum of arc ND and arc ML divided by 2 is equivalent to 6x + 23.
Thus, we can form an equation:
6x + 23 = (11x + 8 + 3x + 14)/2
Simplify:
6x + 23 = (14x + 22)/2
Simply again:
6x + 23 = 7x + 11
Subtract 6x from both sides:
23 = x + 11
Subtract 11 from both sides
x = 12
Option A, or x = 12

Answer: 600 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Of the total number of sixth graders who were surveyed, 5% owned birds.
This 5% translated to 30 students.
30 students is therefore 5% of the total number of sixth graders surveyed.
Assume that number to be x:
x * 5% = 30
x = 30 / 5%
= 600 students
