Answer:

5/16 of a yard per pillow

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide 5/8 by 2 (or 2/1)

2. 5/8 * 1/2 (following the division of fraction models of 'keep, change, flip'

5*1 = 5 and 8 * 2 = 16      5/16

Step by step please and thank you.

Answer:

  the probability is 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the coins are randomly selected, the probability of pulling a dime first is the number of dimes (4) divided by the total number of coins (10).

  p(dime first) = 4/10 = 2/5

Then, having drawn a dime, there are 9 coins left, of which 5 are nickels. The probability of randomly choosing a nickel is 5/9.

The joint probability of these two events occurring sequentially is the product of their probabilities:

  p(dime then nickel) = (2/5)×(5/9) = 2/9

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

You can go at this another way. You can list all the pairs of coins that can be drawn. There are 90 of them: 10 first coins and, for each of those, 9 coins that can be chosen second. Of these 90 possibilities, there are 4 dimes that can be chosen first, and 5 nickels that can be chosen second, for a total of 20 possible dime-nickel choices out of the 90 total possible outcomes.

  p(dime/nickel) = 20/90 = 2/9

Ryo accidentally ordered 240% as many eggs as his restaurant needed. What fraction of the number of eggs his restaurant needs di
Anarel [89]

Answer:

Ryo ordered \frac{12}{5} of the amount of eggs his restaurant needed

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call z the number of eggs the restaurant needs

Ryo ordered 240% of the eggs he needed. Then Ryo ordered:

\frac{240}{100}z.

This fraction can be simplified by dividing by 10 in the numerator and denominator.

Then it is:

\frac{24}{10}

It can be further simplified by dividing by 2 in the numerator and denominator:

\frac{12}{5}z

Ryo ordered \frac{12}{5} of the amount of eggs his restaurant needed
