Answer:

A. \frac{1}{125}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Probability of a hurricane hitting the gulf coast in a year is \frac{1}{5}

Let E be the event for the hurricane hitting the gulf coast in a year.

So, P(E)=\frac{1}{5}

Therefore, probability of hitting the gulf coast for 3 consecutive years will be the product of the probabilities for each  year and is given as:

P(E\cap E\cap E)=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{5}\times \frac{1}{5} =\frac{1}{125}

The probability of the gulf coast getting hit by a hurricane in 3 consecutive years is \frac{1}{125}.

Write and solve an equation to find the unknown angle.
Julli [10]
There's many properties you can use to find an unknown angle.

There are too many to lists but one core example would be an isosceles triangle that has two adjacent sides and angles.

Let's say that the sides of an isosceles triangle are any number "x"

now since two sides of the triangle are the same we can add these two x's together.

x+x = 2x

now the other side of the triangle can be anything you like. We can call it 4x for this example.

now if we add them all together we'll get 4x+2x=6x

Now since the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees
we can equate 6x=180 leaving x to be 30.

Now since x belongs to both sides of the triangle we can say that both angles are congruent as well because the two sides of the triangle are congruent. This is a known triangle law.

Since both angles are now 30 degrees this will leave us with 2(30) = 60

now if we subtract 180 - 60 we'll get 120 which is the remainder of the 3rd angle of the side that corresponds with 4x.

H(t)=2t-2 <br> g(t)=t-1 <br> find h(g(2))
Crazy boy [7]
T = 2

To find this, follow these steps.

First, you need to find g(2):

t-1
2-1
1

Therefore 1 is your first answer. Then you input that answer into h(t).

2(t) - 2
2(2) - 2
4 - 2
2

Thus, 2 is your final answer.

Hope this helps!

Lin is reading a 47-page book. She read the first 20 pages in 35 minutes. Rounding to the nearest minute, how long will it take
Kruka [31]

Answer: 82.25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the minutes she took to hours. This would be:

= 35/60

She is reading at a speed of 20 pages per 35/60 hours.

To finish 47 pages therefore, she will take:

= (47 * 35/60) / 20

= 1.37083 hours

Converted to minutes that would be:

= 1.37083 * 60 mins

= 82.25 minutes

54 and 67 use numbers and operations to write each phrase as an expression
arsen [322]

The phrases you would like to be written as expressions are not listed. I would nevertheless, explain how to write phrases as expressions so that the same approach could be applied to you own question.

Phrases are dynamic, depending on the problem. They do not necessarily take a particular form.

The constant thing about phrases is the operators connecting the words in the phrases. Theses operators are:

Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Division (÷), and Multiplication (×).

In word problems, it is a matter of interpretation, these operators can be written in many ways.

ADDITION

plus

the sum of

increase

grow

add

profit

And so on.

SUBTRACTION

minus

loss

decrease

reduce

subtract

And so on

MULTIPLICATION

times

multiply

triple

And so on

DIVISION

split

share

divide

distribute

And so on.

Examples

(1) 56 is added to a number to give 100

Interpretation: x + 56 = 100

(2)The difference between Mr. A and Mr. B is 5

Interpretation: A - B = 5

(3) This load (L1) is three times heavier than that one (L2)

Interpretation: L1 = 3L2

(4) Share this orange (P) equally between the three children

Interpretation: P/3
