Total number of sheets are 12.

Total number of white sheets= 9

Total number of red sheets = 3

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes.

Hence

When Calvin throws the sheets in the air, the probability that he gets a white sheet is

\frac{9}{12}

which equals to \frac{3}{4}

that becomes 0.75

nevsk [136]

Answer:Sample response: I set up an equation to show that the number of bracelets multiplied by the cost of each bracelet minus the commission is equal to the total, 6(x – 1.25) = 16.50. I divided each side by 6, then added 1.25 to each side with a result of x = 4. Hyo-Jim sold each bracelet for $4.

Farmer brown had ducks and horses one day he noticed that all of the Animals had a total of 12 heads and 32 feet how many animal
brilliants [131]

Answer:

4 horses and 8 ducks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of ducks be d and the number of horses be h.

d + h = 12

Now ducks have 2 feet and horses have 4 so:

2d + 4h = 32

Multiply the first equation by 2

2d + 2h = 24

Subtract this equation from the second equation:

4h - 2h = 32 - 24

2h = 8

h = 4.

So there were 4 horses and 12 - 4 = 8 ducks.

Help with Algebra 2: 1. <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B7%5D%7Bx%5E5%7D%20%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given the expression

\dfrac{\sqrt[7]{x^5} }{\sqrt[4]{x^2} }

Note that

\sqrt[7]{x^5}=x^{\frac{5}{7}} \\ \\\sqrt[4]{x^2}=x^{\frac{2}{4}}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}

When dividing \sqrt[7]{x^5} by \sqrt[4]{x^2}, we have to subtract powers (we cannot subtract 4 from 7, because then we get another expression), so

\dfrac{5}{7}-\dfrac{2}{4}=\dfrac{5}{7}-\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5\cdot 2-1\cdot 7}{14}=\dfrac{3}{14}

and the result is x^{\frac{3}{14}}=\sqrt[14]{x^3}

2. Given equation 3\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3} -4=20

Add 4:

3\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3} -4+4=20+4\\ \\3\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3}=24

Divide by 3:

\sqrt[4]{(x-2)^3} =8

Rewrite the equation as:

(x-2)^{\frac{3}{4}}=8\\ \\(x-2)^{\frac{3}{4}}=2^3

Hence,

\left((x-2)^{\frac{3}{4}}\right)^{\frac{4}{3}}=(2^3)^{\frac{4}{3}}\\ \\x-2=2^{3\cdot \frac{4}{3}}\\ \\x-2=2^4\\ \\x-2=16\\ \\x-2+2=16+2\\ \\x=18
