The first time the band leader selects one member, the probability that either you or your brother gets selected would be 2 out of 80 or in fraction 2/80. Now, once one of you gets chosen, for the next selection, there are only 79 members left and the probability that the remaining one (between you and your brother) gets selected after is 1/79. So, if you are both to be selected, the combined probability for that to happen will be (2/80)(1/79) = 1/3160. Therefore, the answer is 1/3160<span>.</span>

Order each set of measures from greatest to least 1) 1.2 cm, 0.6 in, 0.031 m, 0.1 ft 2) 2 lb, 891 g, 1 kg, 0.02 T 3) 1 1/4 c, 0.
labwork [276]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 1.2 cm, 0.6 in, 0.031 m, 0.1 ft

The relationship between the units is given as;

m > ft > in > cm

Upon converting the rest units to the lowest;

0.6 in = 1.524 cm

0.031 m = 3.1 cm

0.1 ft = 3.048 cm

The order is given as;

0.031 m > 0.1 ft > 0.6 in > 1.2 cm

2) 2 lb, 891 g, 1 kg, 0.02 T

2 lb = 907.185 g

1 kg = 1000 g

0.02 T = 20000 g

The order is given as;

0.02 T >  1 kg > 2 lb > 891 g

3) 1 1/4 c, 0.4 L, 950 mL, 0.7 gal

0.4 L = 400 mL

0.7 gal = 2649.79 mL

11/4 c = 650.6177 mL

The order is given as;

0.7 gal > 11/4 c > 950ml > 0.4 L

4) 4.5 ft, 48 in., 1.3 m, 120 cm

The relationship between the units is given as;

m > ft > in > cm

Upon converting the rest units to the lowest;

4.5 ft = 137.16 cm

48 in = 121.92 cm

1.3 m = 130 cm

The order is given as;

4.5 ft > 1.3 m > 48 in > 120 cm
