Answer:   4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,  The hurdle track that is 1/5 of a mile long.

And, After extending the track, the length of the hurdle track = 1/4 of a mile

Therefore, the unit rate of length in the longer track per mile of length in the shorter track = the initial length of the hurdle track / the final length of the hurdel track

= \frac{1/5}{1/4}

= \frac{4}{5}

What’s the answer to number 19??
Igoryamba

The answer equals 6.

Since 3 3/4 equals 15/4, when you divide you have to switch the numbers in the  divisor and then you turn the equation into multiplication.

So then it will be 15/4 x 4/3.

15 x 4 = 60

4 x 3 = 12 so the answer is 60/12. But you have to simplify so half of 60/12 is 30/6 and then half of 30/6 is 15/3 then you have to pick the gcf of 3 and 15 which is 3.

15 divided by 3 equals 5.

3 divided by 3 equals 1 so 5/1 equals 5

Hope this helps! ;)

a deli sells a sandwich spread for 6.40 per pound. how much do you have to pay for 24 ounces of the spread
rjkz [21]
In the given question the most important part is convert ounce to pound and then the problem becomes easy. We already know
1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds
Then
24 ounce = 0.0625 * 24 pounds
                 = 1.5 pounds
Now let us focus on the problem in hand and the information's that are already given in the question.
The cost per pound of the sandwich sold by Deli = 6.40
Then
The cost of 1.5 pound of sandwich sold by Deli = 6.40 * 1.5
                                                                             = 9.60
So the cost of 24 ounces of spread is 9.60.

The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3723 based on their 13 year win history of 385 wins out
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

0.1505 = 15.05% probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the team wins, or it does not. The probability of winning a game is independent of winning other games. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that a certain hockey team will win any given game is 0.3723

So p = 0.3723

12 games in November

So n = 12

What is the probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November?

This is P(X = 6)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.3723)^{6}.(1-0.3723)^{6} = 0.1505

0.1505 = 15.05% probability that the hockey team wins 6 games in November
