Answer:

\dfrac{3}{85}

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a small town’s raffle has 85 entries and 3 gift baskets that three different people could win.

Total number of entries = 85

Total number of gift baskets = 3

We need to find the probability of winning a gift basket.

\text{Required probability}=\dfrac{\text{Total number of gift baskets}}{\text{Total number of entries}}

\text{required probability}=\dfrac{3}{85}

Therefore, the required probability is \dfrac{3}{85}.

Deon buys candy that cost $6 per pound. he will buy at most 7 pounds. write answer as inequality
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

x ≤ 42 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Deon will buy at most 7 pounds, and we know that it costs 6 per pound, so we multiply 7 and 6 to get 42. Deon will not buy over 7 pounds, so that means less than or equal to.

In the diagram triangles ABE and ACD are similar.
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

p = 7.2

q = 6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

if the triangles are similar then the side lengths must be proportional :

AC/BA = CD/BE

9/5 = p/4 cross multiply expressions

5p = 36 divide both sides by 5

p = 7.2

same goes for q

9/5 = (q+8)/8 cross multiply expressions

72 = 5(q+8) divide both sides by 5

14.4 = q+8 subtract 8 from both sides

6.4 = q

What is the equation of the directrix of the parabola given by the equation (y − 3)2 = 8(x − 5)?
Licemer1 [7]
The vertex of the parabola is at (5,3) and its focal length is 8/4 = 2.
Since it opens to the right, the directrix will be a vertical line 2 units to the left of the vertex, so its equation will be x=(5-2), or x=3

Are the graphs of the lines in the pair parallel? Explain. <br> y = 3/7x+ 11 –3x + 7y = 13
ankoles [38]
Remember that parallel lines have the same slope.

y=3/7x+11 (in slope intercept form already)

-3x+7y=13 (standard form)

Add 3x to both sides, giving you 7y=3x+13, divide by 7 on both sides, giving 


y=3/7x+13/7

Since both equations' slopes' are the same, their graphs will be parallel.
