And or both means we multiply the given probability situations that are mutually exclusive and exhaustive - they cannot occur at the same time.
let P(a)=x
then: P(b) * P(a) =3/4
15/16 * x = 3/4
15x/16 = 3/4
therefore x= 3/4 *16/15
x = 4/5
P(a) = 4/5
hope it's clear
Answer:
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the reciprocal, flip the fraction. The sign remains the same.
The reciprocal of 8/5 is 5/8.
Answer: 5/8
Answer:
6.25 Miles
6 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 2 = 5 MILES
1/2 you want the denominator to equal 4 so you times it by two
= 2/4
2/4+3/4= 5/4
this gives you one full mile and 1/4
add all together 5+1+1/4
I am picking this is right :)
Answer:
I found two different solutions. Hope one of them help!
1. x = -1/3 = -0.333
2. x = 5/2 = 2.500
Step-by-step explanation:
13 ± √ 289
x = ——————
12
Can √ 289 be simplified ?
Yes! The prime factorization of 289 is
17•17
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).
√ 289 = √ 17•17 =
± 17 • √ 1 =
± 17
So now we are looking at:
x = ( 13 ± 17) / 12
Two real solutions:
x =(13+√289)/12=(13+17)/12= 2.500
or
x =(13-√289)/12=(13-17)/12= -0.333
Two solutions were found :
x = -1/3 = -0.333
x = 5/2 = 2.500
