klio [65]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

b : a = 1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>\frac{ a + b}{ a - b} = \frac{5}{3}</em>

<em>3 ( a + b) = 5 ( a - b)</em>

<em>3 a + 3 b = 5 a - 5 b</em>

<em>5 b + 3 b = 5 a - 3 a</em>

<em>8 b = 2 a</em>

<em>\frac{b}{a} = \frac{2}{8}</em>

b : a = 1 : 4

Alex787 [66]

Answer: 259/260 or 0.99615 (depending on which answer format your teacher wants)

There are 10 numbers in the set {0, 1, 2, ..., 9}. There are 26 letters in the set {A, B, C, ..., Z}. Multiply those values: 10*26 = 260. So there are 260 ways to pick a number followed by a letter. One example is 7P.

There is only one way Matthew can get the correct answer, and there are 260 - 1 = 259 ways to get the wrong answer. We divide 259 over 260 to get the probability of getting the incorrect answer, which is 259/260.

If you need this fraction in decimal form, then use a calculator to find that 259/260 = 0.99615 approximately
