Answer: 1/5

Step-by-step explanation: To find the probability of selecting a mint out of the jar, we use our ratio for the probability of an event which is shown below.

(P) event = number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

Since there are 7 mints in the jar, the number of favorable outcomes is 4 and since there are 35 candies in all,

the total number of outcomes is 35.

Therefore, the probability of selecting a mint is 7/35.

Notice however that 7/35 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and denominator of 7/35 by their greatest common factor of 7 to get 1/5.

So our final answer for the probability of selecting a mint is 1/5.

Answer:

The height of the monument is 124.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Right Triangles

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. The tangent ratio is defined as:

$\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}$

The figure attached below shows the different distances involved in the problem. We heed to find the value of h, the height from Daniel's eyes. Then we'll add it to the 6 ft where his eyes are located from the ground.

Taking the angle of 68° as a reference:

$\displaystyle \tan 68^\circ=\frac{h}{48}$

Solving for h:

$\displaystyle h=48\tan 68^\circ$

Calculating:

h = 118.8 ft

The height of the monument is 118.8 ft + 6 ft = 124.8 ft

It took Brian 6 hours to drive to the sales conference. He took the same route on the way back home, but

g100num [7]

Answer: 54 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

d-the distance

s+9 - the speed to the conference

d=6*(s+9)

s- is the speed on the way back home

d=7*s

so 6*(s+9)=7*s

6s+54=7s

-6s -6s

54= 7s-6s

s=54 mph

Help urgent please.

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug any x value for the y values of f(x) and g(x)

Let's do 0 since it is easier.

f(x)=-2(0)-4=-4

g(x)=-2(0)+2=2

So, g(x) is 6 greater than f(x).

Thus, g is most likely moved 6 units up from f.
