Set up a proportion:

3/4 = x/12

Cross multiply:

36 = 4x

Divide 4 to both sides:

x = 9

12 rabbits
white to all=3 to 4

that means that there are 3 white units and 4 all units
so if 12=all then
12=4 units
divide by 4
3=1 unit
if whit=3 units then
3=1 unit
3 times 3=9=3 units

9 white rabbits
and 3 non white rabits

Find the probability of rolling a 5 or greater on the first die and a 2 or greater on the second die

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The probability is 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of rolling a 5 the first time is 1/6

The probability of rolling a number greater than 2

Numbers greater than 2 are 3, 4, 5, 6

So the probability of rolling a number out of these four is 4/6

So the probability of rolling a five for the first time and the probability of rolling a number greater than 2 the second time will be

1/6 * 4/6 = 4/36 = 1/9

The base and the height of a triangle are multiplied by 5/4. Which of the following describes the

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The option that describe the effect of the change is;

The perimeter is multiplied by 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters from the question are;

The (scale) factor by which the base and the height of the triangle are multiplied = 5/4

By the constant proportion of their sides, the triangle before and the triangle obtained after the multiplication are similar

Let 'a' and 'b' represent the length of the base and the height of the triangle respectively, we have;

The area of the triangle, A₁ = 1/2 × a × b = a·b/2

With the application of the scale factor of 5/4, we have;

The area of the scaled triangle, A₂ = 1/2 × (5/4) × a × (5/4) × b = (5/4)² × a·b/2

Therefore, the scale factor of the area = (5/4)²

The scale factor of the perimeter = √(The scale facto of area)

∴ The scale factor of the perimeter = √(5/4)² = (5/4)

The scale factor of the perimeter = (5/4)

Therefore, the perimeter of the scaled triangle is obtained by multiplying the perimeter of the initial triangle by (5/4).

Noah loves the Half-Tens facts and often uses them to solve multiplication problems. Make up a 2-digit by 3-digit multiplication

Stells [14]

Half Tens is a way of multiplying where we have to find the value of given numbers. First we double any 'one' of the two given numbers and multiply both to get an answer. Then we divide that answer by '2' to get the answer.

Lets take two numbers as 16 and 340

$16\times340=?$
