The probability is the number of positive events divided by the number of total possible events. The probability searched will be the probability that the first fish selected is a goldfish times the probability that the second fish selected is also a goldfish. The probability that the first fish selected is a goldfish is the number of goldfish in the tank divided by the total number of fish, i.e. 18 / 40. The probality that the second fish selected is a goldfish is 17 / 39 (because there is one goldfish less in the thank). Then, the joint probability is (18/40)*(17/39) = 306/1560 =102/ 520 = 51/260. Then,<span> the answer is the option b. 51/260</span>

190% of what number is 76<br> Plz hurry I really want to get this done
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

190 is 76% of 250

Step-by-step explanation:

We have, 76% × x = 190

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 76,

we have x = 190 × 100/76

x = 250

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 190×100÷76, which will give you the answer.

Hello! :)
zlopas [31]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The two triangles are congruent because if each triangle's angles add up 180 degrees, you can deduce that the triangles have atleast two congruent angles.

Triangle RST:

48 + 73 = 121

180 - 121 = 59

Angle R = 59

Angle T = 48

Angle S = 73

59 + 48 + 73 = 180

Triangle ABC:

73 + 59 = 132

180 - 132 = 48

Angle A = 59

Angle B = 73

Angle C = 48

59 + 48 + 73 = 180

.please answer correctly and show steps ​
kupik [55]

Answer:

6/5m

or

1 1/5m

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - 3 4/5 = x

5/1 - 19/5 = x

5/1(5/5) - 19/5 = x

25/5 - 19/5 = x

25/5 - 19/5 = 6/5

x = 6/5 or 1 1/5
