Since both fractions have the same denominator, to find the greater one all you have to do is see which one has a bigger numerator
42>36
the answer is 42/126 is greater
Answer:
a) C. No, a carton can have a puncture and a smashed corner.
b) The probability that a carton has a puncture or a smashed corner is P(X ∪ Y) = 0.104.
Step-by-step explanation:
To be mutually exclusive, the probability of the two events happening at the same time should be 0. But the probability that a carton has a puncture and has a smashed corner is 0.004 and not 0.
Then, we can conclude the events "selecting a carton with a puncture" and "selecting a carton with a smashed corner" are not mutually exclusive.
The answer is "C. No, a carton can have a puncture and a smashed corner."
We can calculate the probability that the carton has a puncture <em>or </em>has a smashed comer simply by adding the probability of each event:
P(X ∪ Y): probability that a carton has a puncture or a smashed corner.
Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the missing fraction be x
So, 1/2+x =7/8
To find x, we take 1/2 to the rhs and 1/2 turns to -1/2
x = 7/8-(1/2)
Taking LCM as 8...
We can convert 1/2 to 4/8
Therefore,
x = 7/8 - 4/8
= (7-4)/8
=3/8
Hope this is helpful
Answer:
∠PQL=∠TRN [Corresponding angles]
So, PQ║RS and PQ=RS
Step-by-step explanation:
Side PQ is drawn.
Another side QR is drawn making an acute angle with side PQ.
Now side QR is extended towards left.
Draw an arc from point Q such that it cuts QP at M and RQ produced at L. Without changing the compass width i.e distance between nib and pencil draw an arc from point R such it cuts RQ at N.Now measure the Distance LM using compass.Place the compass at N and cut an arc that you have drawn from point R.Mark this pont as T.Draw a line passing from R and T .Then measure the length of PQ using compass.Put your compass at R and cut an arc on the line RT produced at S.Then the line PQ ║RS and PQ =RS.
Why this happens because
∠ MQL=∠NRT [ corresponding angles taking QR as Transversal]
∵PQ║RS and PQ=RS [PQRS is a parallelogrm]
