Hello!

That one inch is divided into eight even sections.

Look at the distance between where the insect's length ends and the "1". That space in between is how long each section is. It takes eight of those to make up one inch. The insect's length take up seven of the eight sections - almost an inch. So, the length of the insect is 7/8 in.

As for 0.875, that's the decimal form of the fraction. It means the same thing.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The probability that the coin will show tails, the spinner will land on yellow or green (out of yellow, green, blue), and the cube will show a three is $\frac{4}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Fred flips a coin, spins the spinner, and rolls a standard number cube.

To find : The probability that the coin will show tails, the spinner will land on yellow or green (out of yellow, green, blue), and the cube will show a three ?

Solution :

First we find probability one by one,

1) Flips a coin - Head, Tail

Total number of outcome = 2

Favorable outcome (getting a tail) = 1

Probability that the coin will show tails is $P(T)=\frac{1}{2}$

2) Spins the spinner - yellow, green, blue

Total number of outcome = 3

Favorable outcome (land on yellow or green) = 2

Probability that the spinner will land on yellow or green $P(S)=\frac{2}{3}$

3) Rolls a standard number cube - 1,2,3,4,5,6

Total number of outcome = 6

Favorable outcome (show a three) = 1

Probability that the cube will show a three $P(C)=\frac{1}{6}$

The probability that the coin will show tails, the spinner will land on yellow or green (out of yellow, green, blue), and the cube will show a three is

$P=P(T)+P(S)+P(C)$

$P=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{6}$

$P=\frac{3+4+1}{6}$

$P=\frac{8}{6}$

$P=\frac{4}{3}$

Therefore, The probability that the coin will show tails, the spinner will land on yellow or green (out of yellow, green, blue), and the cube will show a three is $\frac{4}{3}$

Dr. Green has to multiply the weight of the team’s bug spray bottles, 7 x 90 grams. To solve this, he writes out the equation 7

Dominik [7]

It works because 7 x 9 x 10 is the same thing as 7 x 90, since 9 x 10 is just 90. So basically he is just writing more but the answer will still be the same.

What types of solutions does 6x^2 - 20x + 1 have?

elena55 [62]

Answer:

2 real solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the determinant, which says that for a quadratic of the form ax² + bx + c, we can determine what kind of solutions it has by looking at the determinant of the form:

b² - 4ac

If b² - 4ac > 0, then there are 2 real solutions. If b² - 4ac = 0, then there is 1 real solution. If b² - 4ac < 0, then there are 2 imaginary solutions.

Here, a = 6, b = -20, and c = 1. So, plug these into the determinant formula:

b² - 4ac

(-20)² - 4 * 6 * 1 = 400 - 24 = 376

Since 376 is clearly greater than 0, we know this quadratic has 2 real solutions.
