Hal ran 5 3\8 miles in the race. Fred ran 3 5\8 miles.

1 answer:

5 0

The first thing to do is to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions
5 3/8= 43/8

3 5/8 = 29/8

since they have the same denominators
SUBTRACT the numerators and bring down the denominator
43-29= 14/8= 1 3/4 miles

Hope this helps

The graph models the function y = −x2 − x + 6. Which attribute(s) of the graph tell you the root(s) of the function? Determine t

Alex73 [517]

In a graph the roots of the function are given by the cut points with the x axis.
On the other hand, we have the following equation:
y = -x2 - x + 6
To find the roots, we equate to zero:
-x2 - x + 6 = 0
Rewriting we have:
x2 + x - 6 = 0
(x-2) (x + 3) = 0
The roots are:
x1 = 2
x2 = -3
Answer:
The roots are:
x1 = 2
x2 = -3

Mookie Betts of the Boston Red Sox had the highest batting average for the 2018 Major League Baseball season. His average was 0.

Annette [7]

Answer:

Binomial probability, with $n = 5, p = 0.352$

Step-by-step explanation:

For each time Mookie Betts went to bat, there were only two possible outcomes. Either he got a base-hit, or he did not. The probability of getting a hit on each at-bat is independent of any other at-bat. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

His average was 0.352.

This means that $p = 0.352$
