Correct option:

29 over 5

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Here we need to solve for x the following equation:

\frac{3}{5}=\frac{x-1}{8}

Multiply both sides by 40:

Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 40: \\ \\ 40\times(\frac{3}{5})=40\times (\frac{x-1}{8}) \\ \\ 24=5(x-1) \\ \\ \\ Distributive \ property \ on \ the \ right \ side: \\ \\ 24=5x-5 \\ \\ \\ Add \ 5 \ to \ both \ sides: \\ \\ 24+5=5x \\ \\ 5x=29 \\ \\ \\ Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 5: \\ \\ \boxed{x=\frac{29}{5}}

Finally, the correct option is:

29 over 5

What are the factors of 5^24 that are both square and cube. Leave answer In factorised index form
DaniilM [7]
Remember
(x^a)^b=x^{ab}
and

so maybe we want to find a and b such that a^2=b^3=5^{24}

24/2=12, so 12*2=24 so 5^{24}=5^{12*2}=(5^{12})^2
24/3=8, so 8*3=24 so 5^{24}=5^{8*3}=(5^8)^3
so
(5^{12})^2=(5^8)^3=5^{24}

I think those are in factored index form

Suppose a jar contains 10 red marbles and 34 blue marbles. If you reach in the jar and pull out 2 marbles at random at the same
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The probability that both are red is P(red\:and \:red)=\frac{45}{946}\approx0.04756\approx4.756\%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is simply how likely something is to happen and its given by

<em>Probability of an event = (# of ways it can happen) / (total number of outcomes)</em>

Two events are dependent when the outcome of the first event influences the outcome of the second event. The probability of two dependent events is the product of the probability of X and the probability of Y AFTER X occurs.

                                     P(A\:and\: B)=P(A)\cdot P(A|B)

At our first pull, there is an P(red)=\frac{10}{10+34} chance that a red will be pulled.

At the second pull there is a P(red)=\frac{9}{9+34} chance that the second marble will be red.

Therefore, the probability that both are red is

P(red\:and \:red)=\frac{10}{10+34}\cdot \frac{9}{9+34}=\frac{45}{946}\approx0.04756\approx4.756\%
