What we need to know is how much is 1/3 of 25 2/5.
We will be multiplying fraction by a fraction and for this, it's good to change mixed numbers into improper fractions:
25 2/5=
and now we multiply it by 1/3:
and that's the answer: the basketball equipment weights 7 4/5 pounds.
Answer:
y = 4x - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Use point-slope form and substitute the values.
y - 2 = 4(x - 4)
y - 2 = 4x - 16
y = 4x - 14
We can turn this word problem into the following equation:
x^2 + 85 = (x - 17)^2
x^2 + 85 = x^2 - 34x + 289
-85 -85
_______________________
x^2 = x^2 - 34x + 204
+34x +34x
_______________________
x^2 + 34x = x^2 + 204
-x^2 -x^2
____________________
34x = 204
Divide 34 on both sides
x = 6.
The number is 6.
To get the probability of selecting a person who is a
democrat and is favour to the issue, let us first calculate for the portions in
each party who is favour on the issue.
p (rep & favour) = 0.4 * 0.3 = 0.12
p (dem & favour) = 0.6 * 0.7 = 0.42
Therefore the total portions who are favour is:
p (favour) = 0.12 + 0.42 = 0.54
Hence the probability is:
P (dem & favour) = 0.42 / 0.54 = 0.7778 = 0.78
Therefore there is about 78% probability that the person
selected who is favour to the issue is a democrat.

Discussion
I can sympathize with your confusion. You might be helped if you knew what the squares meant. Is 1 square = 1 inch or 4 miles? You don't know and can't tell. So I'm going to say that 1 square is 1 unit.

The vertical line is 3 units long.
The horizontal line is 4 units long.
Formula
Area = 1/2 horizontal * vertical or
Area = 1/2 * base * height Substitute givens into this formula
Substitution and Solution
Area = (1/2) 3*4
Area = (1/2) 12
Answer: Area = 6 units
