Answer: -1/9
Step by step explanation:
The common difference of an arithmetic sequence can be found by picking 2 consecutive terms, and subtracting the second from the first. For example, if I chose the terms 2 and 1 8/9, I would find the common difference by:
1 8/9 - 2, which is equal to -1/9.
You can confirm this by picking another pair of consecutive terms. Let's pick 1 7/9 and 1 2/3:
1 2/3 - 1 7/9 = -1/9, as 1 2/3 = 1 6/9, so 1 6/9 - 1 7/9 = -1/9
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide polynomials by other polynomials by dividing each term by the denominator. Remember, when we divide a variable by itself, we must change the exponent in our answer according to exponent rules.

Answer: 19/50
Step-by-step explanation: To write a percent as a fraction in lowest terms, first remember that a percent is a ratio that compares a number to 100. In this case, 38% can be written as the ratio 38 to 100 or 38/100. Notice however that 38/100 is not in lowest terms so we need to divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor of 38 and 100 which is 2.
38 ÷ 2 = 19
100 ÷ 2 = 50
<em>Therefore, 38% can be written as the fraction 19/50 which is in lowest terms.</em>
Answer:
a) 7/4 b) 15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Scale Factor = Image / Object
Take the side of Triangle ABC that's BC Why? Because it corresponds with the Image Triangle ADE's DE
= 21/12 = 7/4
b) 7/4 = 10+ x / 10
Cross Multiply
= 4 ( 10 + x ) = 70
= 40 + 4x = 70
= 4x = 70-40
= 4x = 30
= 4x/4 = 30/4
x = 15/2
We have 5 Republican Candidates and 6 Democratic Candidates
We have a total 11 candidates to choose from
First pick of Democratic Candidates = 6/11
Second pick of Democratic Candidates = 5/10
Third pick of Democratic Candidates = 4/9
Fourth pick of Democratic Candidates = 3/8
The probability of four Democratic candidates in the committee is
