Answer:

0.575

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of probabilities:

1. Theoretical Probability

2. Experimental Probability

The probability based on mathematical theories is called theoretical probability. It is not always true. i.e. the probability of getting a head in a toss of coin is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%

Experimental probability is based on experiments. Experimental probability is always going to change whenever the experiment is performed.

The theoretical probability of getting a head while tossing a coin will always be 50% while experimental probability might be different the next time, experiment is performed.

In this case, the experimental probability will be 23/40 or 0.575 ..

Marina CMI [18]

Jacob had math homework on 81 evenings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time spent of each evening = 1/3 of an hour

Time spent in minutes = $\frac{1}{3}*60 = 20\ minutes$

Total time spent = 27 hours

Total time spent in minutes = 27*60 = 1620 minutes

Let,

x be the number of evenings spent doing math homework.

Time spent each day* Number of evenings = Total time spent

$20x=1620$

Dividing both sides by 20

$\frac{20x}{20}=\frac{1620}{20}\\x=81$

Jacob had math homework on 81 evenings.

Answer:

$2x-6+x+x=180$

$4x-6=180$

$4x=180+6$

$4x=186$

$x=\frac{186}{4}=46,5°$

Step-by-step explanation: the other angle is equal to his simmetrical, cause the triangle is isosceles, so is value is x. The sum of the angle in a triangle must be 180°

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1- Order in descending order the following polynomial with respect to the

variable n. Then identify the independent term:

$6n^3 + 7n^4 - 2n^2 - 5 + 9n^5$

The independent term is - 5.

3- Look at the following polynomial and identify what the terms are

similar:

$- 8 + 3m^3 n - 4m^2n + 7mn^2 - 11nm^3 + 6 m^2 n$

The similar terms are + 3m^3 n and - 11 nm^3 and

- 4 m^2 n and 6 m^2 n
