Answer:

More than 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 options for the last digit (0, 1, 2.....9)

Probof 0.5 means 50% chance of getting it right,

Which would happen when he has tried 50% of the total possibilities, which are 10

50% of 10 = 5

He'll have to dial 5 times for a probability of 0.5.

More than 5 times for a probability of more than 0.5

A rectangles tabletop has a length of 4 3/4 feet and a area of 11 7/8 square feet what is the width of the tabletop
Natalija [7]
Area is length times width. Therefore, width is area divided by length. Convert 11 7/8 to the improper fraction 95/8 and convert 4 3/4 to 19/4. Then, you can fine 95/8 divided by 19/4 by flipping the second fraction and multiplying so that you have 95/8 times 4/19. 4 times 95 is 380 and 8 times 19 is 152. Therefore, the answer is 380/152. This is equivalent to 5/2 or 2.5.

Find the percent increase. Round to the nearest percent. From 13 friends to 16 friends
larisa86 [58]

The percentage increase; you'll need to take the new value and subtract it by the old value.

16 - 13 = 3

Next, you'll divide 3 by the original value.

3 ÷ 13 = 0.23

And multiply by 100

The percentage increase of friends is 23%

13 factored out is 13x - 39 add 39 to both sides it equals 13x=78 and 78 divided by 13 is 6 the anwser is x=6
