subtract 5 from both sides. -1.6r=-5 divide both sides by-1.6. r=-5/-1.6 simp;ify-5/1.6 to 3.125. r =3.125

Answer: r=8

Step-by-step explanation: -1.6r+5=-7.8

-16/10r+5=-78/10

-2^4/2.5r+5= -2X3X13/5

-2^3/5r+5= - 3X13/5

(-8r)+25/5=-3X13/5

=8 so r=8

The table shows the results of a survey in which 10th-grade students were asked how many siblings (brothers and/or sisters) they

lesantik [10]

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Siblings: || 0 || 1 || 2 || 3

Number of Students: || 4 || 18 || 10 || 8

Required

Determine the probability of a student having at least one but not more than 2 siblings

First, we have to determine the total number of 10th grade students

$Total = 4 + 18 + 10 + 8$

$Total = 40$

The probability of a student having at least one but not more than 2 siblings = P(1) + P(2)

Solving for P(1)

P(1) = number of students with 1 sibling / total number of students

From the given parameters, we have that:

Number of students with 1 sibling = 18

So:

$P(1) = \frac{18}{40}$

Solving for P(2)

P(2) = number of students with 2 siblings / total number of students

From the given parameters, we have that:

Number of students with 2 siblings = 10

So:

$P(2) = \frac{10}{40}$

$P(1) + P(2) = \frac{18}{40} + \frac{10}{40}$

Take LCM

$P(1) + P(2) = \frac{18 + 10}{40}$

$P(1) + P(2) = \frac{28}{40}$

Divide numerator and denominator by 4

$P(1) + P(2) = \frac{7}{10}$

$P(1) + P(2) = 0.7$

Convert to percentage

$P(1) + P(2) = 70\%$

Hence, the required probability is 70%

A box contains 6 black pens, 4 blue pens, and 7 red pens. Without looking, Clarissa randomly picks a black pen out of the box. I

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

31.35%

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Initial reading:</h3>

In the box, there are:

6 Black pens
4 blue pens
7 red pens

Total number of pens in the box = 6 + 4 + 7

= 17

If we count pens as outcomes the total number of possible outcomes are 17.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3>New reading:</h3>

Clarissa takes out a black pen from the box.

That reduces the number of black pens by 1 which increases the total number of pens by 1 as well.

So now:

Number of black pens = 6 - 1 = 5 
Total number of pens = 17 - 1 = 16

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3>Probability:</h3>

$\boxed{ \mathsf{probability = \frac{favorable \: outcomes}{total \: outcomes} }}$

If we want her to pick up a black pen, and she ends up picking one. So, we can say that the outcome is in our favor.

That makes it,

the number of favorable outcomes = number of black pens

= 5

and total outcomes = Total number of pens

= 16

$\implies\mathsf{probability = \frac{5}{16} }$

For showing it as some percent we'll just multiply the fraction by 100

$\implies \mathsf{ \frac{5}{16} \times 100 }$

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3>As a percent:</h3>

$\implies \mathsf{ \underline{ 31.25 \: \% } }$
