Answer:

5/12 of the students are freshmen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the total number of students.

Then (1/6)n are seniors; (2  1/2)(1/6)n are freshmen, or

(1/6)n are seniors and 5/12 are freshmen.  This comes from multiplying 2.5 by 1/6:  we get .416666..., which is equivalent to 5/12.

If ||| m, solve for x and y.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

x = 11, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(13x - 19) and (9x + 25) are corresponding angles and congruent, thus

13x - 19 = 9x + 25 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

4x - 19 = 25 ( add 19 to both sides )

4x = 44 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 11

Then

13x - 19 = 13(11) - 19 = 143 - 19 = 124

(17y + 5) and 124 are alternate angles and are supplementary, thus

17y + 5 + 124 = 180, that is

17y + 129 = 180 ( subtract 129 from both sides )

17y = 51 ( divide both sides by 17 )

y = 3

Which one doesn’t belong? Why? Explain. please help me
My name is Ann [436]

Hi! So, the one that doesn't belong is a) y = 4x.

I think that this doesn't belong because every other option has a number after the variable (I forget the exact term for it but it's like +7, +4, and -1 for the rest of the options)

Please let me know how I can further help you :)

What's the probability of pulling two red cards in a row from a deck of cards?​
monitta

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's say that we don't have jokers. In that case, there are 52 cards, and half of them are red (so 26 are red). The probability of pulling a red card once is 1/2 since half the cards are red.

If we pick one out, there are only 51 total cards left and 25 red cards. So, the probability of picking one again would be 25/51.

We multiply the probabilities of these two events to find the probability of them both happening.

1/2×25/51=25/102

The probability of picking two red cards in a row is 25/102 or around 24.5%.

Have a wonderful day! :D

jamal is making pancakes. He has 6 3/4 cups of batter, but he needs a total of 12 cups. How much more batter does Jamal need?
vampirchik [111]
Jamil has already 6 3/4 cups of butter.
He need 12. SO in order to get the needed butter, we subtract 6 3/4 to 12.

= 12 - 6 3/4
= 11 4/4 - 6 3/4
= 5 1/4

So Jamil needs 5 1/4 cups of butter to achieve the 12 cups.
