1/3 is the same as 3/9. To solve this, subtract 3/9 from 7/9.

$\frac{7}{9}-\frac{3}{9}= \frac{4}{9}$

Your answer is $\frac{4}{9}$

If a varies directly as b, and a = 28 when b = 7, find b when a = 5.

Reika [66]

Answer: Option B.

$b=\frac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If a varies directly with b then when a increases b it also increases by a factor k.

Then we can write that

$a = kb$

We know that when a = 28 then b = 7. So

$28 = k * 7$

$k=\frac{28}{7}$

$k=4$

Therefore the equation of proportionality is:

$a=4b$

So when $a=5$ then:

$5=4b\\\\b=\frac{5}{4}$

A bag contains red and blue marbles, such that the probability of drawing a blue marble is 3/8

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

9/64

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the marble on the first draw is blue is 3/8.

The probability that the marble on the second draw is blue is also 3/8.

So the probability that both are blue is:

3/8 × 3/8 = 9/64 ≈ 14%

Alright, do multiplication first, then division. Then, do subtraction then addition.

$7-1*0+3/3= \\ 7-0+3/3= \\ 7 - 0 + 1= \\ 7 + 1 = 8 \\ 7-1*0+3/3 =8$

Hope this helped!
