Group 1:
divide number of muffins by number of students

=8 ÷ 12
=8/12
reduce by 4
=2/3 muffins each in group 1

Group 2:
=6 ÷ 15
=6/15
reduce by 3
=2/5 muffins each in group 2

Add fractions together:
= 2/3 + 2/5
need common denominator
multiply 2/3 by 5 and 2/5 by 3 for common denominator of 15

=(2/3 * 5/5) + (2/5 * 3/3)
=(2*5/3*5) + (2*3/5*3)
= 10/15 + 6/15
= 16/15
= 1 1/15 muffin

ANSWER: Carmine gets 1 1/15 muffins because she was in both groups. She received 2/3 in one group, 2/5 in another group and added together she received 1 1/15 muffins.

Hope this helps! :)

Write the percent as a decimal and as a fraction.
Svetlanka [38]
The given percent above is 215%. To convert this into decimal, let us divide this by 100. 215 / 100 and we get 2.15. So the decimal form of 215% is 2.15. Next, convert it into a fraction. Given the decimal form of 2.15, this is already equivalent to 2 15/100. To simplify this, since both 15 and 100 are divisible by 5, we get 3/20. Therefore, the fraction is 2 3/20. So the correct answer is option B. 2.15; 2 3/20.

Find the probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if a 0 b
jeka94

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information; Let's assume that  R should represent the set of all possible outcomes generated from  a bit string of length 10 .

So; as each place is fitted with either 0 or 1

\mathbf{|R|= 2^{10}}

Similarly; the event E signifies the randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0

Now;

if  a 0 bit and a 1 bit are equally likely

The probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if a 0 bit and a 1 bit are equally likely is;

\mathbf{P(E) = \dfrac{|E|}{|R|}}

so ; if bits string should not contain a 0 and all other places should be occupied by 1; Then:

\mathbf{{|E|}=1 }   ; \mathbf{|R|= 2^{10}}

\mathbf{P(E) = \dfrac{1}{2^{10}}}
