Answer:

p = 0.299

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Desired outcomes:

We want to estimate the proportion of oil tankers that had spills. Of the 1453, 1018 did not have spills, and 1453 - 1018 = 435 had. So D = 435

Total outcomes:

All the 1453 tankers, so T = 1453

Estimating the proportion

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{435}{1453} = 0.299

When is the reciprocal of a fraction a whole number? Plz explain
Sati [7]

The reciprocal of a fraction is only a whole number when
the numerator of the original fraction is ' 1 ' or a factor of
the denominator (original fraction is not in simplest form).

Any other time, the reciprocal of the fraction is another fraction.
(It'll be an improper fraction, and can be written as a mixed number.)


The reciprocal of a fraction is just the same fraction
turned upside down.

-- The reciprocal of  1/5  is  5/1  or just  5 .
   (Original numerator is ' 1 '.)

-- The reciprocal of  5/25  is  25/5  or just  5 .
    (Original fraction is not in simplest form.)

--  The reciprocal of  5/7  is  7/5 , or  1 and 2/5 .

8. Solve the system of equations using substitution.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we need to plug in the answer choices and make sure they work for BOTH answers!

Let us start with option A. (6,3)  3 = 4(6) + 6     = 3 = 30 This is automaticly wrong because 3 doesnt equal 30. There is no need to try it on the second equation since the first one was wrong.

Next answer choice, B  (3,6)  6 = 2(3) =   6=6. The second equation works perfect for this. Now we have to make sure that it works for the first one as well. 6 = 4(3) + 6   = 6 = 18 which is wrong.

Next, C.  (1,2)   2 = 2(1) = 2=2 Right now lets check the other equation.

2 = 4(1) + 6 = 2=10. Wrong

Last, D. (-3, -6)    -6 = 2(-3)  = -6 = -6 Right now lets check the other equation.

-6 = 4(-3) + 6 = -6 = -6. CORRECT. Answer choice D works for both equations.

Sorry for the wait of response.
