There are 12 cards with different letters & patterns. The probability of randomly choosing [random card] is #[random card]/total cards.
Think of that as ratio as a %chance or probability of written as P(X). The question says to write the %chance as a fraction.
1) 2/12 = 1/6
2) 2/12 = 1/6
3) 0/12 = 0
4) 12/12 = 1
5) This is tricky. M & T would imply one card with both letters on it. 0/12 = 0
6) 4/12 = 1/3
7) 6/12 = 1/2
8) 5/12
9) 3/12 = 1/4
10) 8/12 = 2/3
11) 10/12 = 5/6
12) Odds = [favorable]:[unfavorable] = 5:7
The answer to this question is D
6 is easy
7. never divide by a fraction, flip ot upside down and multiply, so multiply by 5 on both sides
8. subtract 3.45 on both sides
9. the answer is just 1
I got -19/655 and i know for sure this isnt the correct answer.
Answer:
We need to find the value of b to make 8b - 27 be equal to 5, so:
8b - 27 = 5
We solve the equation:
8b = 5 + 27
8b = 32
We divide both sides by 8:
b = 32/8 = 4
So now, we know that b=4, and we can verify:
8*4 - 27 = 5
32 - 27 = 5 TRUE
