Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Make X and Y represent the numbers of tosses.

The probability that X=n is 1/2n,

the probability that X=n and Y=n is 122n. Sum up, 1 to ∞.

We get 1/3.

We have 2/3 divided squarely between X>Y and X<Y.

Flauer [41]
We can use slope , point formula
y-y1=m(x-x1)
m is  a slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(-10-(-7))/(2-1)=-3
for example, we take the point (1, -7)
y-(-7)=-3(x-1)
y+7=-3x+3
y=-3x-4

Which number can replace the variable to make these fractions equivalent?blank/7, 54/42
taurus [48]
Equivalent fractions can be found by multiplying numerator and denominator by the same number.

for example : 2/5 * 3/3 = 6/15......2/5 and 6/15 are equivalent. Just like 2/5 * 4/4 = 8/20......2/5 and 8/20 are equivalent...so basically, if u multiply the numerator by a certain number, and the denominator by that same number, u will get an equivalent fraction.

Now to ur problem...
   x             54
------    =   -----
   7             42

now look at ur denominators....7 x what = 42 ? 7 x 6 = 42...so u have multiplied the denominator by 6....so u would have to multiply the numerator by 6.....or divide by 6....54/6 = 9.....or 9 x 6 = 54. So that missing value is 9.

9/7 = 54/42

check..
9/7 * 6/6 = 54/42 (equivalent)

How to convert 7 2/5 into a improper fraction
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

37/5

Step-by-step explanation:

7 2/5 = 37/5

5x7=35

35+2=37

Multiply the whole number and denominator then, add the numerator and put the sum of that back ontop of the denominator

Example:

W N/D   DxW=X  X+N= Y  

W N/D = Y/D

Jenny runs a daycare center and charges $60 per day for each child. There are currently 50 children enrolled at the daycare. At
Brrunno [24]
The answer is B) <span>(60 - 4x)(50 + 2x) = 2,800

The revenue without any change in price is: 
$60/student x 50 students = 3,000
Every price drop reduces the price/student by four, so the first term, which describes the fee per student, is 60 - 4x
Every price drop also increases the number of students by two, so the second term, which describes the number of students, is 50 + 2x</span>
