You can use subtraction in a division problem because in division you are subtracting numbers like 6 divided by 2 you have to do 6-2=4 then you do 4-2=2 then you do 2-2=0 then you count how many 2's you used so 6 divided by 2 is 3. Hope this helped you understand and get to your answer!

Numbered disks are placed in a box and one disk is selected at random. If there are 6 red disks numbered 1 through 6, and 2 yell
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

\frac{3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of red disk=6

Total number  of yellow disk=2

Total disk=6+2=8

Odd number=1,3,5,7=4

Odd number on red disk=1,3,5=3

Probability,P(E)=\frac{favorable\;cases}{total\;number\;of\;cases}

Using the formula

The probability of getting odd number disk=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

The probability of getting odd numbered  red disk=\frac{3}{8}

The probability of selecting a red disk,given that an odd numbered disk is selected=\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{3}{8}\times 2=\frac{3}{4}

Using conditional probability

P(A/B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}

A rectangular prism. The rectangular base has a length of 5 centimeters and width of 4 centimeters. What are the dimensions of t
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

dimension is 5cm * 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

As the plane is parallel to the base, the ratio between plane's length and width is equal to the ratio of that of the base. -> similar shape.

Moreover, it also divided the rectangular prism into 2 smaller rectangular prism. hence the plane is identical to the base. Hence, same dimension.

Town C is 2 miles east of town A and 2 miles south of Town B as in the figure at right. which of the following is the best estim
Ray Of Light [21]
Since C is 2mi east of A and 2mi south of B, the shortest distance from A to B would be a straight line which is equal to the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a base of 2mi and a height of 2mi..

d^2=x^2+y^2

d^2=2^2+2^2

d^2=4+4

d^2=2*4

d=√(2*4)

d=2√2 mi  (exact)

d≈2.83 mi  (to nearest hundredth of a mile)

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

to find this answer we will then have to do 5 x 2/3

since we our multiplying by a fraction we will then have to change the fraction to a decimal.

2/3 = 0.6

this will then give us the equation of 5 x 0.6

this will give us the sum of 3 jars that had were able to be filled woth marbles.

What is the area of a square rug that measures 6 feet on a side? 3 square feet 24 square feet 12 square feet 36 square feet
QveST [7]
Well we know the area of a square is l*w, or s^2. So we can use s^2 where s=6 in your case. Now 6^2 is 6*6, which is 36.

So the area of a square rug that measures 6 feet is 36 feet

Answer= 36 feet
