The quotient of x and 6.

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is 1/6. To solve, simply set up an equation. It will be x/6. As you know, x can stand for anything. 1 will be the reasonable number for variable, x. Why? Well since x=1x. You don't actually write "1" Hope this makes your understanding clear.

The population of a city has decreased by 35% since it was last measured. If the current population is 9100 , what was the previ

Alina [70]

The previous population was 14000.

Explanation

The population decreased by 35% since the last measurement. So the current population is less than the previous population.

current population=9100

previous population =x

current population is 35% less than the previous population x

$9100=x*(100-35)/100\\9100=(x*65)/100\\x=(100*9100)/65=14000$

The previous population was 14000.

17% of students in a class have brown hair. If 6 students are chosen at random, what is the probability that exactly 3 have brow

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

6.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

the question has no information about class size (no. of student in class)

assume no. of student is infinite

P(3brown out of 6) = 6C3 * P(brown)^3 * P(not brown)^3

= 20 * 0.004913 * 0.695789

= 0.06837

What is the simplified form of the quantity 1 over b minus 1 over a all over the quantity 1 over b plus 1 over a?

jolli1 [7]

Option B: (b-a)/(b+a) is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is;

$\frac{\frac{1}{b}-\frac{1}{a}}{\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{a}}$

First of all we have to take LCM in both numerator and denominator

So,

$=\frac{\frac{b-a}{ab}}{\frac{b+a}{ab}}$

The reciprocal of the denominator will be multiplied with the numerator for simplification

So,

$=\frac{b-a}{ab} * \frac{ab}{b+a}\\= \frac{b-a}{b+a}$

Hence,

Option B: (b-a)/(b+a) is the correct answer

A game has 28 white balls and 12 red balls in a bag, and you will randomly select one ball from the bag. If

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

There are 40 balls in the bag. The probability of selecting a white ball is 28/40, simplified to 7/10. The probability of selecting a red ball is 12/40, simplified to 3/10. You are more likely to get a white ball so you will most likely lose $5.
