Each child in the Smith family was given an orange cut into 8 equal sections. Each child ate 5/8 of the orange. After combining

the leftover sections, Mrs. Smith noted that there were exactly 3 full orangesleft. How many children are in the Smith family?
The sample explanation for this question on 4th grade's practice book is not clear, Could anyone give a easier explanation for a 4th grader. Thanks.

Every child was given a orange cut into 8/8 pieces, Each child ate 5/8 pieces leaving 3/8 pieces each. How many kids were in their family. So each kid has 3/8 so you would add up 3/8 + 3/8 until you get a whole number of three. Or you can multiply the 3/8 by 8 or 8/1 (same thing) and get 24/8 slices which would simplify down to 3 full oranges, so there would be 8 kids because 8 x 3 = 24.

Please help me :( A standard six-sided die is rolled. What is the probability that it is not a 4?
zmey [24]

Answer:

The answer is 5/6, or .833, 3 repeated.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 is only one side of the die, or 1/6 if the surface of the die. So the other part that is left is the other 5/6 of the surface.

A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between 48.0 and 58.
Yanka [14]

Answer: 0.025

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A statistics professor plans classes so carefully that the lengths of her classes are uniformly distributed between the interval [48.0 minutes, 58.0 minutes].

The probability density function :-

f(x)=\dfrac{1}{58-48}=\dfrac{1}{10}

Now, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes is given by :-

\int^{50.5}_{50.25}\ f(x)\ dx\\\\=\int^{50.5}_{50.25}\ \dfrac{1}{10}\ dx\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}|x|^{50.5}_{50.25}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}\ [50.5-50.25]=\dfrac{1}{10}\times(0.25)=0.025

Hence, the probability that a given class period runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes =0.025

Similarly , the probability of selecting a class that runs between 50.25 and 50.5 minutes = 0.025

HELP URGENT‼️‼️

Answer:

The answer is 3 cups of orange juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

So basically it says every 1/4 cup of water, you need 3/4 cups of orange juice. Now, 1 cup of water is the same thing as 4/4 cups of water. To get to 4/4 from 1/4, you need to multiply 1/4 by 4. Because of that, you need to multiply 3/4 by 4 as well. 3/4 * 4 is 3, and that's how you get your answer.
