Answer:

.571

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the total number of boys

11+5+4 = 20

And the total number of students

11+7+5+4+4+4 = 35

The Probability that the student is a boy is boy/total

P (boy) = boy/total

           = 20/35

           =4/7

            =.571428571

  to 3 decimal places

           =.571

There are 20 pens in a package. Ten of the pens are black, 8 are blue, and the rest are red.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

1:5

Step-by-step explanation:

  Their is 2 red pens, because 20(pens) - 8(blue pens) = 12(pens [blue excluded]) and there are 10 black pens (12 - 10 = 2)

  So we can get an un-simplified ratio of 2:10, however in the list of answers you gave us:

  • 1:10
  • 1:5
  • 4:5
  • 5:1

  Their is no 2:10, so now we need to simplify our ratio by dividing both 2 and 10 by 2, 2 divided by 2 = 1 and 10 divided by 2 = 5. As we can now see this gives us the ratio of 1:5 which is our second answer choice, and therefore since 1:5 is equal to 2:10 our answer is 1:5

Please help me I don't knoe
forsale [732]

Answer:

x = sqrt(147)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.

x^2 +7^2 = 14^2

x^2 +49 = 196

Subtract 49 from each side

x^2 = 147

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(147)

x = sqrt(147)

Given m || n, find the value of x and y
Anika [276]

Answer:

x = 16 and y = 121

Yes, its a long process.

Step-by-step explanation:

vertical angles are congruent given that: we do this

(4x-5)+(4x-5)+y+y=360

or

2(4x-5)+2y=360

divide both sides by 2

(4x-5)+y=180

distribute (there is an invisible 1 beside the parentheses of 4x-5)

4x-5+y=180

add 5 to both sides

4x+y = 185

subtract y from both sides

4x = 185-y

divide both sides by 4

x = (185-y)/4

note that (4x-5) is also EQUAL to (3x+11)

4x-5=3x+11

subtract 3x from both sides

x-5=11

add 5 to both sides

x = 16

Now that we know what x is, we can substitute it in the equation we got from 2(4x-5)+2y=360

Our equation was

x = (185-y)/4

16 = (185-y)/4

Multiply both sides by 4

64 = 185-y

Subtract 185 from both sides

-121=-y

multiply both sides by -1

121 = y
