Answer:

P = 0,88          or       P  =  88 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having a married couple in nonadjacent desks is the total number of probabilities minus the probabilities of having them in adjacent places divide by total number of outcomes

The total possibilities (outcomes) of 9 elements in a row is:

P(₉) = 9!

P(₉) = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P(₉) = 362880

And the outcomes in which they are adjacent to each other is:

We consider them as one unit them we in this situation have 8 elements

P(₈) = 8!

P(₈) = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P(₈) = 40320

Then the probability that the married couple will have nonadjacent desks is:

P = P(₉)  -  P(₈) / P(₉)

P =  362880 - 40320 / 362880

P = 322560/ 362880

P = 0,88          or       P  =  88 %

5 pointsWhich is the image of vertex Lafter the triangle is rotated 180 degrees about the origin?
Anastasy [175]

The image of vertex L after the triangle is rotated 180 degrees about the origin= (-2, -1).

Option B.

First let's stae the the original location of the figure on the graph.

From the graph:

L (2, 1)

W(1, -3)

O (-1, -2)

A rotation of 180 degrees about the origin will change the x and y axis of each location to the opposite of those numbers;

Positive numbers becomes negative and negative numbers becomes positive.

The new location for L = L'

L' = (-2, -1)

The new location for W = W'

W' = (-1, 3)

The new location for O = O'

O' = (1, 2)

Hence, the image of vertex L after the triangle is rotated 180 degrees about the origin= (-2, -1).

Option B.

Yashoda and Ingrid shared a sum of money in the ratio 3:2, respectively. Ingrid
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Yashoda got 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Yashoda : Ingrid

3             :   2

Ingrid got 1200

Divide this by 2

1200/2 = 600

Multiply each side by 600

Yashoda : Ingrid

3*600      :   2*600

1800       : 1200

Yashoda got 1800

Every time the minute hand on my watch clicks, it turns 13 and a half degrees. What fraction of a circle has it covered in a thi
AfilCa [17]
Hey so if every time the minute hand clicks it turns 13.5 degrees and the question is asking us to find the fraction of a circle it covers in a third of a minute we must divide 13.5 by 3.
 1) 13.5 / 3 = 4.5 degrees

Now we must find out what fraction of a circle 4.5 degrees is.  If a circle is 360 degrees and the minute hand turns 4.5 degrees every third of a minute then we must divide 4.5 by 360 to get our answer.
  2) 4.5/60

Finally let's simplify our answer
  3) (4.5 / 60) / 1.5 = 3/40

ANSWER: The fraction of the circle the minute hand covers every third of a minute is 3/40
