Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. This means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. This means that if a rectangle has sides 3 by 4 its area will be 12. But its image after being dilated by 2 is 6 by 8 or twice the side. Will the area also be twice the size? The area of the image is 6*8 = 48. This is 4 times bigger than 12. Not twice as big. So the similarity of the area is the scale factor squared.

So if figure A has area 13 units. And they have a ratio or scale factor of 1/8 then the area sclae factor will be 1/8*1/8 = 1/64.

So 13*1/64 will be the area of figure B.

13* 1/64 = 13/64 = 0.2

Solve the linear system of equations using the linear combination method.<br><br> {8a−4b=205a−8b=62
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Sorry I am a little late...

a = -2

b = -9

Here is how to solve the problem. 

First thing I did was multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can eliminate the the b. After you multiply it by -2, your new equation is -16a + 8b = -40. 

You leave the second equation alone and all you do is combine like terms. So -16a+5a is -11. And you eliminate the b. Then you're going to do -40+62 which is 22. So it's -11a=22 and then you have to solve for a. What I did was I multiplied the whole thing by minus to turn the a positive. So then it's 11a=-22. Pretty easy, the final step is to simplify. -22/11 is -2. ;D 

So there you have your first answer. 

a = -2 

Now we're going to use the first answer to help us find b. 

For the second equation, all you're going to do is plug in that a. 

5 (-2)-8b=62 

-10 - 8b = 62

Now we move the -10 to the other side...

-8b = 62 + 10 

-8b = 72

Multiply the whole thing by negative once again to turn the b positive.

Now we have 8b = -72 

The final step is to simplify. -72/11 = -9

b = -9 

Hope this makes sense! Also I had the same question on my test and I got it right. :)

Answer:

231/8 simplified is 28 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to convert all mixed fractions into improper fractions so 8 1/4 will become 33/4 and 3 1/2 will become 7/2 and then just multiply and you get 231/8 which simplified is 28 7/8

den301095 [7]

Answer:

22.60% probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver arrested selected, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are repeat offenders, or they are not. The probability of an arrested driver being a repeat offender is independent from other arrested drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In Illinois, 9% of all drivers arrested for DUI (Driving Under the Influence) are repeat offenders;

This means that p = 0.09

Suppose 28 people arrested for DUI in Illinois are selected at random.

This means that n = 28

a) What is the probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders

This is P(X = 3)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{28,3}.(0.91)^{25}.(0.09)^{3} = 0.2260

22.60% probability that exactly 3 people are repeat offenders
