4 out of 24 reduced to 1 out of 6 since there are 24 total buttons and 4 are blue. About 16.67%

To find a probability of an event occurring, we need to find how many outcomes are successful. Then divide that number over the total number of outcomes.

In this case, we have the cat knocking 1 button onto floor. We want that button to be blue. Because we have 4 blue buttons, we have 4 different scenarios/outcomes that are successful.

Total number of outcomes is the cat knocking any button onto the floor. Which is [/tex] 4+5+7+8=24[/tex].

When we divide the two: \frac{4}{24} = \frac{1}{6} = 0.17 is the probability of cat knocking a blue button onto the floor.

A bakery can make 60 donuts in 15 donutes. What is the unit rate at which the bakery makes donuts.
maria [59]

Answer:

4 donuts per minute/(donutes is that a typo?)

Step-by-step explanation:

if a bakery can make 60 donuts in 15 minutes, that is 60 donuts/15 minutes.

to reduce this fraction, the top and bottom can be divided by 15 to get 4 donuts/1 minute.

Solve the following word problems.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a , b , c & d be the no. of chairs in hall A , B , C & D respectively.

Given,

b = 4a

c = a + 15

d = a + 8 + 4a = 5a + 8

Now,

Total no. of chairs (T) = a + b + c + d

                                   = a + 4a + a + 15 + 5a + 8

                                   = 11a + 23

Now,

Average chairs in each hall (Avg) = T/4

                                                       = (11a + 23)/4

Question
Goryan [66]

Given:

(2, 4) and (3, 3) are on the line.

To find:

The equation of line in point slope form.

Solution:

If a line passes through a point (x_1,y_1) with slope m, then the point slope form of the line is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

(2, 4) and (3, 3) are on the line. So, slope of the line is

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\dfrac{3-4}{3-2}

m=\dfrac{-1}{1}

m=-1

The slope of a line is -1 and it passes through (2,4). So, an equation in point slope form is

y-4=-1(x-2)

Therefore, an equation of the line in point slope form is y-4=-1(x-2).
