Here is the solution for the given problem above:
Given: 5/8 yard of ribbon = total length of the ribbon
            1/12 yard = length of the ribbon after Tom cut it equally
            ? = number of pieces of 1/12 yard from 5/8 yard
So to divide fractions, here is the solution
5/8 divided by 1/12
5/8 multiplied by 12/1
5x12 is 60
8x1 is 8.
So 60/8 would be 7.5. Therefore, the number of pieces that was cut from the 5/8 ribbon is 7.5. Hope this answer helps.

Answer:

There are 7.5 pieces.      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Tom used \frac{5}{8} yard of ribbon to tie weights on the tail of his kite. He cut the length of ribbon in equal pieces that were \frac{1}{12} yard long.

To find : How many pieces, each \frac{1}{12} yard long did Tom cut from the \frac{5}{8} yard ribbon?

Solution :

The total length of the yard ribbon is \frac{5}{8}

The length of the one piece cut from total is \frac{1}{12}

Let 'x' be the number of pieces.

According to question,

\frac{1}{12}x=\frac{5}{8}

x=\frac{5\times 12}{8}

x=\frac{5\times 3}{2}

x=\frac{15}{2}

x=7.5

So, There are 7.5 pieces.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate Greatest Common Factor for :

   16, 24 and 36

Factorize of the above numbers :

   16 = 2^{4}  

   24 = 2^{3} • 3  

   36 = 2^{2} • 3^{2}  

Build a prime factors table

   Number of times each prime factor

   appears in the factorization of :

Prime  Factor     Number  16   Number  24   Number  36    G.C.F   (min)  

2 4 3 2 2

3 0 1 2 0

GCF = 2²

Greatest Common Factor is :

     4

Hope this helps :)

Use the "at least once" rule to find the probability of getting at least one 2 in four rolls of a single fair die.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Probability of getting at least one 2 equals 0.5177

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of at least one success is

P=1-(1-p)^{n}

where,

'p' is probability of success of 1 trail

'n' is number of events

We have probability of getting 2 is 1/6 thus 'p' = 1/6

Applying values we get

P=1-(1-\frac{1}{6})^{4}\\\\P= 0.51177
