The equation is:

114=\frac{p}{3}-3

And

Total number of pages are 351

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation has to be formed by using the given information.

Let p be the total number of pages in the novel

Then

1/3rd of the p will pe:

\frac{p}{3}

Total pages read by John = 114

Then according to the statement

114=\frac{p}{3}-3

We can solve the equation to get the total pages of the novel

114=\frac{p}{3}-3\\Adding\ 3\ on\ both\ sides\\114+3=\frac{p}{3}-3+3\\117=\frac{p}{3}\\Multiplying\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\3*117 = \frac{p}{3}*3\\p=351

The equation is:

114=\frac{p}{3}-3

And

Total number of pages are 351

Covert 3.92 into a mixed number in simplest from
Kobotan [32]
First, take three off it, because that will form the whole-number part:
3.92 = 3 + 0.92

Next, read off the place value of the last digit. The 2 is in the 'hundredths' column, which means that 0.92 = 92/100:
3.92 = 3 + 92/100

Finally, simplify 92/100 by dividing top and bottom by 4 to get 23/25. Then, shove it all together:
3.92 = 3 23/25

Answer:

1. U. 190

2.U. 155

3. U. 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation: To find an angle of a triangle we add the angles we know about

EXAMPLE: 50 + 120. We need to find the third angle.

We know that Angles of triangles should add up to 360

So to find the third angle we add the angle we know about.

EXAMPLE: 50 + 120 = 170 then we Subtract the sum of a triangle *360*

EXAMPLE: 50 + 120 = 170

EXAMPLE: 170 - 360

EXAMPLE: = 190

That's how we find a third angle!

If this doesn't clarify how do to it enough just let me know and i can try to explain more in detail!

Hope this helps you!!!

Have a nice day!

Answer:

the probability is 50% or 1/2 (equally likely and equally unlikely)

That is because it does not state the amount of socks inside the draw; meaning the answer has to be theoretical.

If the probability is the same, than it has to equal to 100

so we can conclude that 1/2 of the drawer is blue socks and 1/2 is white socks.
