Answer:

0.16 or 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

an easier way to work this out is to convert these decimals into percentage. to do this, multiply the number by 100:

0.2 x 100 = 20%

0.64 x 100 = 64%

a percentage is out of 100 (probability of a win = 20/100 = 1/5) so to work this out, you just have to subtract the percentages that are known from 100:

100% - 20% = 80%

80% - 64% = 16%

∴ the probability of a loss = 16% or 0.16 as a decimal.

Another way to work this out is to add together the amounts that are given then work out what number needs to be added to = 1

0.2 + 0.64 = 0.84

0.84 + ? = 1

0.84 + 0.16 = 1

∴ the probability of a loss = 0.16

HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL :-)

To find the probability of a loss add .2 and .64 together. You will get .84. The remaining .16 is the probability of a loss. The probability of a loss is .16.

HELP PLEASE. Find me the answer

Answer:

y = 3x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

When the given points are dilated by a factor of 1/5 about the origin, each of the coordinate values is multiplied by 1/5. The points after dilation are ...

... (2/5, 1/5), (-1/5, -8/5)

The line through these points can be found starting with a 2-point form of the equation for the line.

... y -y1 = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)·(x -x1)

Filling in the point values gives ...

... y -1/5 = (-8/5 -1/5)/(-1/5 -2/5)(x -2/5)

... y = (-9/5)/(-3/5)(x -2/5) +1/5 . . . . simplify parentheses, add 1/5

... y = 3x -1 . . . . . simplify

_____

The graph shows the original points and the line through them in red, and the dilated points and line in green.

What is the surface area of this cube the dimensions are 5 cm 4 cm 5cm starting from lxwxh

Mashcka [7]

Given: A cuboid with the dimesion below:

$5\operatorname{cm}by4\operatorname{cm}by5\operatorname{cm}$

To Determine: The surface area of the cuboid

The formula for finding the surface area of a cuboid is given as:

$A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=2(l\times w+l\times h+w\times h)$

From the diagram, it can be seen that

$\begin{gathered} l=\text{length}=5\operatorname{cm} \\ w=\text{width}=4\operatorname{cm} \\ h=\text{height}=5\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}$

Substitute the given into the formula as shown below:

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=2(l\times w+l\times h+w\times h) \\ A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=2(5cm\times4cm+5cm\times5cm+4cm\times5cm) \\ A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=2(20cm^2+25cm^2+20cm^2) \\ A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=2(65\operatorname{cm}^2) \\ A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=130\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the surface area of the given cuboid is 130cm²
