A student wrote the following on his math homework assignment:

1 answer:

3 0

Instead of using PEMDAS or the Order of Operations, the student went ahead and solved the equation as though it were written 6 * 12 - 8.

The correct way to solve would be to first solve the parentheses. 12 - 8 is equal to 4. 4 times 6 is 24, giving us an answer of 24.

Two marbles are drawn without replacement from a box with 3 white, 2 green, 2 red, and 1 blue marble, find the probability that

Sergio039 [100]

The total number of marbles is $3+2+2+1=8$ .

If we draw a red marble, the chance of that occurring is $\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$ .

Now the total number of marbles left is 7. If we then draw a green marble, the chance of that occurring is $\frac{2}{7}\approx 0.29$ .

So the chance of drawing a red, then green, marble is $\frac{1}{4}*\frac{2}{7}=\frac{2}{28}=\frac{1}{14}\approx 0.07$ .

WHAT IS 3/8 DIVIDED BY 1/2

serious [3.7K]

Answer: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. In other words, we can change the divison sign to multiplication and flip the second fraction.

So here, 3/8 divided by 1/2 can be rewritten as 3/8 × 2/1.

Now we are simply multiplying fractions so we multiply across the numerators and we multiply across the denominators.

So we have 3 × 2 which is 6 and 8 × 1 which is 8. Since 6/8 is not in lowest terms, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor of 6 and 8 which is 2 and we get the equivalent fraction 3/4.

Therefore, 3/8 divided by 1/2 is 3/4.
