Answer:
5.57
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the are of a square you would use the equation <em>a²</em>. However, since you are finding the length of one side and its a square, you use the equation
. The area of this square is 31 sq in., so you would replace a with 31. The equation then becomes
<em>. </em>When out into a calculator, the answer is 5.567764... which rounded up to the nearest hundreth is 5.57.
The correct answer would be A. Hope this helps
Assuming that the probability of boys and girls is equal (in reality slightly more boys than girls are born), the probability is 1/2, simply because the older girl's gender is given and therefore not a part of the probability.
This question comes from the 'boy or girl paradox', a.k.a. the Mrs Smith Problem.
There are 14 possibilities for first place.
There are 13 possibilities for second place, since a dog can't get both first and second place.
There are 12 possibilities for third place, since a dog can't get both first, second, and third place.
There are 11 possibilities for fourth place, since a dog can't get both first, second, third, and fourth place.
Multiply them together and get 24024 possibilities.
Hope this helps!
