Answer:

Final answer is 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question says that Mrs Jenkins picked some tomatoes from her garden. She used 5/9 of the tomatoes to make pasta sauce. After that  she used 3/4 of the remainder to make a salad. Now we need to find about what fraction of the tomatoes did Mrs Jenkins use to make the salad.

As she used 5/9 of the tomatoes to make pasta sauce.

Now remaining amount of tomatoes = 1- 5/9 = 9/9 -5/9 = 4/9

Then she used 3/4 of the remainder to make a salad. So fraction of the tomatoes did Mrs Jenkins use to make the salad = (4/9)(3/4)=12/36=1/3

Hence final answer is 1/3.

Please help asap! i need to find the missing coordinate
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

8 or 32

Step-by-step explanation:

So we are given two coordinates and the length of the segment formed by those coordinates.

To find the unknown coordinate, we can use the distance formula. Let the unknown value be n:

Let's let (-2,n) be x₁ and y₁ and let (-7,20) be x₂ and y₂.

The distance formula is given by the formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Substitute (-2,n) for x₁ and y₁ and (-7,20) for x₂ and y₂. Also, since we already know that the length is 13, substitute it for d. Thus:

(13)=\sqrt{((-7)-(-2))^2+((20)-(n))^2}

Do the operations within the parentheses:

13=\sqrt{(-7+2)^2+(20-n)^2}\\13=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(20-n)^2}

Now, square both sides to take out the square root:

(13)^2=(\sqrt{(-5)^2+(20-n)^2})^2

Simplify:

169=(-5)^2+(20-n)^2

Square (-5):

169=25+(20-n)^2

Subtract 25 from both sides. The right cancels:

(169)-25=(25+(20-n)^2)-25\\144=(20-n)^2

Now, take the square root of both sides.

\pm\sqrt{144}=\sqrt{(20-n)^2}

Simplify:

\pm12=(20-n)

So, we have two solutions:

(12=20-n)\text { or }(-12=20-n)

On the left, subtract 20. On the right, also subtract 20:

(-8=-n)\text { or }(-32=-n)

Divide both sides by -1:

(n=8)\text{ or } (n=32)

So, our two possible answers are 8 or 32.

Un paese contava 12000 abitanti all'inizio del 2007 durante l'anno i nati sono 1,7 % del totale degli abitanti e morti sono 2% c
grandymaker [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

12000 abitanti all'inizio del 2007

nati: 1.7% × 12000 = 204

morti: 2% × 12000 = 240

popolazione all'inizio del 2008: 12000 + 204 - 240 = 11964

You need to know the number of different arrangements possible for five distinct letters. You decide to use the permutations rul
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Both, you and your friend, are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 P 5 = 5!

A shortcut I learned is that in the permutation equation nPn when n is the same on both sides, it is equal to if you used factorial, n!.
