Since the rectangle is a golden one, then the fraction:
The correct answer is D then
Answer: 1/16
Step-by-step explanation: It's important to understand that the two spins are called independent events because the outcome of the first spin does not affect the outcome of the second spin.
To find the probability of independent events, we first find the probability of each event, then we multiply the probabilities together.
Since there is one 4 on the spinner and four possible outcomes, each of which is equally likely, the probability of spinning a 4 is 1/4.
This mens that 1/4 is the probability of
getting a 4 on the second spin too.
Now we multiply.
1/4 x 1/4 gives us 1/16.
So the probability of spinning a 4 twice is 1/16.
Answer:
a=-1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-10=3x+a=12
let's first find x:
5x-10=12
add 10 to both sides:
5x=22
divide both sides by 5:
x=4.4
now that we know what x is, we can plug it back into the equation to find a:
3*4.4+a=12
first, simplify both sides:
13.2+a=12
then, subtract 13.2 from both sides:
and our answer is: a=-1.2
