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 = <em>number of favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes</em>.

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.

If measure angle 1 equals 7x and measure angle 4 equals 3x+20, what is the value of x?
ElenaW [278]
The answer is D. The value of x is 5. This is because you have to set 7x and 3x+20 equal to each other since they are vertical pairs. Then you solve for x.

Answer:

y=(5x-3)/4

y=(5/4)x-3/4

Perpendicular slops come from reversing the numerator and denominator and making it negative so the new slope would be:

m=-4/5

Then you use point slope formula and plug in your values:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=-4/5(x-1)

y=(-4/5)x+9/5

Hope this helps you, have a night day/night.

Answer:

A) The temperature dropped 12 degrees over 3 hours. How much did it change each hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the only one that makes sense. If you were to divide 12 by 3 you would get 4 degrees dropped every hour. The other two answer choices are just complety wrong.
