Answer: -0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function : f(x)=\dfrac{1}{4}x

To find the value of the given function at -5, we need to substitute the value of -5 in the given function, we get

f(-5)=\dfrac{1}{4}\times-5\\\\\Riaghtarrow\ f(-5)=\dfrac{-5}{4}\\\\\Riaghtarrow\ f(-5)=-1\dfrac{1}{4}

Hence, the value of  f(x)=\dfrac{1}{4}x at x =-5=-1\dfrac{1}{4}\ or \ -0.25

Ben ran 3/10 of a mile. Shelly ran 8/10 of a mile. How many more miles did Shelly run than Ben? A) 11/10 B) 11/20 C) 5/0 D) 5/10
attashe74 [19]

Hello there! Shelly ran D) 5/10 more miles than Ben.

To find the difference between the two runner's distances, subtract the smaller distance from the greater distance.

8/10 - 3/10 = 5/10

Since there is a difference of 5/10, this means Shelly ran 5/1 more miles.

I hope this helps, & have a great rest of your day! :)

A single gram of a certain metallic substance has 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc the remaining portion of the substance is
andrezito [222]
Ben's estimate gives 7 g of nickel; the actual amount is 8.03 g.

In 1 g of the substance, there is 0.52 g of copper and 0.25 g of zinc; this gives 
0.52+0.25 = 0.77 g of the substance.

The remaining part of the substance is nickel:
1-0.77 = 0.23 g of nickel.

Using Ben's estimate, 0.2 g of nickel per gram of substance, we have
0.2(35) = 7 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

The actual amount is 0.23(35) = 8.03 g of nickel in 35 g of the substance.

Of the people who fished at Clearwater Park today, 48 had a fishing license, 32and did not. Of the people who fished at Mountain
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The probability that the fisher chosen from Clearwater did not have a license and the fisher chosen from Mountain View had a license is 0.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>X</em> = a fisher at Clearwater Park had a fishing license

<em>Y</em> = a fisher at Mountain View Park had a fishing license

The two events are independent.

The information provided is:

n (X) = 48

n (X') = 32

n (Y) = 72

n (Y') = 18

Then,

N (X) = n (X) + n (X')

        = 48 + 32

        = 80

N (Y) = n (Y) + n (Y')

        = 72 + 18

        = 90

Compute the probability that the fisher chosen from Clearwater did not have a license and the fisher chosen from Mountain View had a license as follows:

P(X'\cap Y)=P(X')\times P(Y)

                 =\frac{n(X')}{N(X)}\times \frac{n(Y)}{N(Y)} \\\\=\frac{32}{80}\times\frac{72}{90}\\\\=0.32

Thus, the probability that the fisher chosen from Clearwater did not have a license and the fisher chosen from Mountain View had a license is 0.32.
