Hey there! Welcome to Brainly!

Let's see how many marbles we have in total.

12+11+17+5=45

We want to find the probability of selecting a marble that is not blue. Let's see how many marbles aren't blue.

12+11+5=28

We have this probability out of 48.

28/48

We simplify, giving us 7/12 or about 58.33%.

I hope this helps!

Answer: \dfrac{28}{45}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The total number of marbles = 12+11+17+5=45

The number of blue marbles = 17

Then, the number of marbles except blue = 45-17=28

Then, the probability that you will not choose a blue marble is given by :-

\text{P(not blue)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of marbles not blue}}{\text{Total marbles}}\\\\=\dfrac{28}{45}

Hence, the probability that you will not choose a blue marble = \dfrac{28}{45}

Match the phenomenal expression on the left with the simplified version on the right
nalin [4]

Given the polynomial expression:

(y + 5)²

(y - 5)(y + 5)

Let's simplify each of the given expression:

a.) (y + 5)²

The given equation is a factor of a perfect square trinomial. For this type of expression, the following is the formula for expanding it.

\text{ (a+b)}^2\text{ = }a^2\text{ + 2ab + }b^2

We get,

\mleft(y+5\mright)^2=(y)^2+2(y)(5)+(5)^2(y+5)^2=y^2+10y+25

b.) (y - 5)(y + 5)

To be able to simplify the following expression. We will be using the formula for the difference of two squares.

(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

We get,

\mleft(y-5\mright)\mleft(y+5\mright)=(y)^2-(5)^2(y-5)(y+5)=y^2-25^{}

The length of a kitchen wall is 24 2/3 feet long. A border will be placed along the wall of the kitchen. If the border strips ar
krek1111 [17]

Total length of the kitchen wall = 24 2/3 feet.

Let us convert 24 2/3 feet into improper fracion.

24 2/3 = (24*3+2)/3 = 74/3 feet.

Length of each strip = 1 3/4 feet.

Let us convert 1/3/4 feet in improper fracion.

1 3/4 feet = (1*4+3)/4 = 7/4 feet.

Total number of strips required = (Total length of the kitchen wall) ÷ (Length of each strip)

= 74/3 feet ÷ 7/4 feet.

Let us convert division sign into multiplication, we get

74/3 × 4/7.

Multiplying across, we get

296/21.

On dividing 296 by 21, we get 14.09 approximately.

14.09 represents more than 14.

So, we can round it to the next whole number, that is 15.

Therefore, 15 strips of border are needed.
