<u>Answer:</u>

1/11

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that 4 cans filled with regular soda were labelled diet soda and placed in a 12 pack carton.

Two cans were picked randomly and we are to find the probability that both cans were of regular soda.

No. of cans with regular soda = 4

No. of cans with diet soda = 8

P (both cans regular soda) = 4/12 * 3/11 = 1/11

Answer:

Probability that both cans were regular soda =  \frac{1}{11}

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = \frac{Desired outcome}{Total possible outcomes}

We are given 12 total number of cans; 4 cans have been accidentally filled with diet soda.

Probability that first can is a regular soda:

Outcome that first can is a regular soda will give us the number of regular soda available which are 4

Using formula of probability

Total possible outcomes are, n(total) = 12

Desired outcome: 4 (cans of regular soda)

P(1st can) =  \frac{4}{12} = \frac{1}{3}

Probability that 2nd can is a regular soda:

<em>As we have already taken a can of regular soda from the pack, the total soda in the pack now 11 and the regular soda left are 3.</em>

Total possible outcomes are, n(total) = 11

Desired outcome: 3 (cans of regular soda as one has already been taken)

P(2nd can) =  \frac{3}{11}


Probability that both cans are regular soda:

P(both) = P(1st can) × P(2nd can)

             = \frac{1}{3} * \frac{3}{11}

             = \frac{1}{11}

PLEASE HELP!! I WILL MARK BRAINLIST
marishachu [46]

Answer:

m∠5 = 44°; m∠7 = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle 4 and 1 are supplementary (they make up a line) and their sum is equal to 180 degrees.

Subtracting the measure of angle 4 from 180 degrees gives the measure of angle 1. (180 - 136 = 44).

So Angle 1's measure is 44 degrees.

According to the Corresponding Angle Postulate, Angle 1 and Angle 5 are congruent. Therefore, m∠5 = 44°

According to the Vertical Angles Postulate (if two angles are vertical, they are congruent), ∠5 ≅ ∠7, meaning that m∠5 = m∠7.

So m∠7 = 44°

I don't understand number 8
Norma-Jean [14]
Let's try plugging in some negative numbers. Let's do x=-1. 5+-1=4. So we know that if we put in a negative number for x, then n will be positive. But what if we do a number greater than -5, because 5+-5=0. So let's try x=-6. So 5+(-6)=-1. Hmm. So here it is. We know that any number under -5 will be positive and any number above -5 will be negative.
