Answer: Obsidian has been used as a cutting tool since the Stone Age, but modern versions of obsidian scalpels are manufactured by a Virginia archaeologist using a pressure flaking process. Each knife can be used from 10 to 20 times before being discarded, Green says. He keeps his blades in a cold sterilizing solution to preserve their sharpness.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Research also confirms that incisions carried out with obsidian produce narrower scars and fewer inflammatory cells. This is because on cellular level, obsidian knife cuts between cells rather than tearing it in case of a steel knife, hence, a sharper cut allows the wound to heal more easily with negligible scarring.

A dice is rolled, then a coin is tossed. What is the probability of getting a 5 then tails?
inn [45]

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

P(5) = number of 5's on the die / total sides

P (5) = 1/6

P ( tails) = number of tails/ total

              = 1/2

P (5, then tails)= P (5) *P ( tails)

                         = 1/6 * 1/2

                          = 1/12

I need help with #9. I know how to do it but is there an easier way than drawing it all out? Please help!
Nookie1986 [14]
The easier way would be to multiply 5 by 5 because you have two bags and there are 5 possiblities for each bag so you multiply the 5 by the other 5. So the answer would be 25
