Let
x-------------> first odd number 
x+2----------> second consecutive odd number

we know that
<span>seven times the smaller, subtracted from nine times the bigger, gives 144

then
9*(x+2)-7*x=144-----------> 9x+18-7x=144---------> 2x=126-----> x=63

the numbers are
63 and 65</span>

If the probability of a chance event is 0.2, it is more likely to happen
densk [106]

Answer:

0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Things to remember:

- You can add as many 0's on the end of a decimal and it will still equal the same number, as long as the 0's are on the right side of the decimal point. For example, 0.7 = 0.7000.

- The lowest value has the lowest probability

So, let's rewrite the options with the same amount of decimal points:

1.00

0.90

0.80

0.85

Now, find the value under 0.82. In this option, the lowest value is 0.80, and it is under 0.82, so it is the answer.

There are 8 students who have 3/4 of a cake they want to share. How much of the cake will each student get if they split it even
fenix001 [56]

So there are 8 students, therefore each student gets 1/8 of the cake.

Since only 3/4 of a cake is available, they will each get 1/8 of 3/4.

 We can find this by multiplying 1/8 and 3/4.

To get the answer, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together which gives us:

(1*3)/(8*4) = 3 / 32 = 0.09375

 

So each student only get 3 / 32 of the cake.
