Answer:

the probability is 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability, P(Tails) to get tails is equal to:

P(Tails)=\frac{1}{2}

Because a penny have two possible options heads or tails and tails is one option.

Additionally, the probability P(3) that the number cube get a 3 is equal to:

P(3)=\frac{1}{6}

Because the cube have 6 possible options and 3 is one option.

Now, the probability P(tails and 3) is calculated as a multiplication of P(tails) and P(3). then, P(tails and 3) is equal to:

P(tails and 3) =\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{12}

Answer:

1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

First we calculate the probability of the coin tossed being a tails.

The coin has two sides (heads and tails), so the probability of each case is 1/2, so the probabilty of having a tails is 1/2

For the number cube, we have six possibilities, so the probability of having a number 3 is 1/6

Now, to find the final probability P(tails and 3) we just need to multiply both probabilities:

P(tails and 3) = P(tails) * P(3) = (1/2) * (1/6) = 1/12

Two triangles have altitudes of equal length. if the areas of these triangles have a ratio of 3:4 then the bases of the triangle
MatroZZZ [7]
Answer:
3/4
Area of the small triangle/Area of larger triangle=3/4

Area of the small triangle/Area of larger triangle=(1/2×base of small triangle×length)/(1/2×base of larger triangle×height)
3/4=(1/2×base of small triangle×height)/(1/2×base of larger triangle×height)
Since the length of the triangle are equal the base ratio of the two triangles is the same as area ratio.

The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 2:5. If the longer side of the rectangle is 25.5
Ksju [112]

Answer: The width of the rectangle is 10.2 inches, the perimeter is 71.4 inches,  the area is 260.1 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

25.5/5=5.1

5.1*2=10.2

The width is 10.2 inches

25.5*2+10.2*2=71.4

The perimeter is 71.4 inches

20.5*10.2=260.1

The area is 260.1

Use the table to identify values of p and q that can be used to factor
bagirrra123 [75]

For this case we have the following polynomial:

x2 + x - 12

Factoring we have:

(x-3) (x + 4)

We note that the polynomial is written as:

(x + p) (x + q)

Thus,

p = -3

q = 4

Answer:

The values of p and q that can be used to factor x2 + x - 12 as (x + p) (x + q) are:

C. -3 and 4
