Answer:

So, basically, you can do this:

500,001*14<6,550,000.

This works because there is one person that can have 0 hairs, 1 hair, 2 hair and so on until we reach 500,000 hairs. Then, there has to be a repeat. So, we can do this fourteen times. Then, we can see that there are at least 14 people with a certain amount of hairs.

32% of what number equals 8? First, what is 32% written as a decimal? Enter your answer in the box. 32% =
ANEK [815]

32% = 0.32

we know that 0.32 × a number = 8

we can set this number as the variable x

0.32 x = 8

÷0.32 ÷0.32

x = 8

therefore the number is 8

A cube has side length a. The side lengths are decreased to 40% of their original size. Write an expression in simplest form for
o-na [289]
V=a ^{3} originally. Then you reduces the side lengths a so it will beV=( \frac{2}{5} a)^{3} = \frac{8}{125}a^{3}
Just note that 40% is the same as 2/5.<span />

Two distinct number cubes, one red and one blue, are rolled together. Each number cube has sides numbered 1 through 6.
algol [13]

Answer:

7/18

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find what values of sum we can have.

The minimum value for a cube is 1, so the minimum value for the sum is 2.

The maximum value for a cube is 6, so the maximum value for the sum is 12.

Now, we find the multiples of 6 and the multiples of 4 between 2 and 12:

4, 6, 8, 12.

To have a sum of 4, we can have the pairs:

(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)

To have a sum of 6, we can have the pairs:

(1,5), (2,4), (3,3), (4,2), (5,1)

To have a sum of 8, we can have the pairs:

(2,6), (3,5), (4,4), (5,3), (6,2)

To have a sum of 12, we can have the pairs:

(6,6)

So we have 14 pairs among the 36 (6 possibilities of each cube, so 6*6=36) total possibilities of pairs, so the probability is P = 14/36 = 7/18
