The probability of an event is given by the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes. Here the event is the alarm clock running out of power. There are 24 hours during which the power can go out. You are asleep during 8 of these. A "favorable" outcome in this case is the power going out while you are sleeping -- that is, during one of those 8 hours. This makes the probability that the power goes out while you are sleeping 8/24.
Answer:
48
Step-by-step explanation:
(264 in)/(5.5 in/piece) = (264/5.5) pieces = 48 pieces
_____
Division is the usual shortcut for repeated subtraction. You could subtract 5.5 from 264 until you get to zero. You would have to do 48 subtractions. It is easier to divide 264 by 5.5 to see how many times it goes.
I got B but I'll show you how I got that answer.
Let's look at AB and BC. AB = 3 and BC = 4.
3/4 = 0.75
On the triangle, AB = 90. And BC = 10x - 20. We need to solve for x and prove that AB/BC = 0.75.
Let's start with Choice A.
10(11) - 20 = 90.
AB = 90
BC = 90.
90/90 = 1. It doesn't equal 0.75. Meaning this answer is wrong.
Now let's look at Choice B.
10(14) - 20 = 120.
AB = 90
BC = 120
90/120 = 0.75
So, 3:4 = 90:120 making Choice B the correct Answer. Let me know if this is correct
