X represents the length of a deck. There are three parts to this equations. The 1. width, 2. the length, and 3. the 5 feet shorter. Using the key words, y = the width of a deck (uses the term is which means =) So that takes the width part out of the equation. Then, 5 feet shorter means -5 than a number. That takes away the 5 feet shorter part of the equation. That leaves x to equal the length of the deck.

a group of students attend math club. Half of the students are boys and 4/9 of the boys have brown eyes. What fraction of the gr
Rus_ich [418]
In pretty sure the answer would be 4/18. I think it would be this because If half the students are boys and 4/9 of the boys have brown eyes, this means that the whole club is 18. You add the two denominators. This equals the whole. Since it is asking for boys with brown eyes out of the whole group you put the number of brown eyed boys over the total number of kids.

How many ways can Hannah give three of her eight T-shirts to her younger sister?
prisoha [69]
If Hannah gives her younger sister 3 shirts, it does not matter what order she hands them to her. No matter the order, it will still be the same group of 3 shirt. Since order is not important this problem can be solved using a combination.

Specifically we are asked to find 8C3 (sometimes called "8 choose 3"). This is a fraction. In the numerator we start with 8 and count down 3 numbers. In the denominator we start with 3 and count all the way down to 1. Thus we obtain,

\frac{(8)(7)(6)}{(3)(2)(1)}=(8)(7)=56

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Guess and Conjecture

Step-by-step explanation:

Conjecture is simply an opinion gotten from an incomplete information .Fro example. 10 boys selected from Nigeria were served pizza. None of them ate pizza.

it is a conjecture to conclude that all the males in Nigeria do not eat pizza, because the information is incomplete

Guess is almost similar to conjecture. It is  conclusion from incomplete information. It is based on one's personal opinion. Guess can be true or false. it is underprobaility and hence cant be banked upon to explain a proof.
