1 year = 365 days.

It falls behind 1 minute per day:

365 days x 1 minute per day = 365 total minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes:

365 minutes / 60 minutes per hour = 6.083 hours = 6 hours and 5 minutes.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability calculates the likelihood of an event occurring. The likelihood of the event occurring lies between 0 and 1. It is zero if the event does not occur and 1 if the event occurs.

For example, the probability that it would rain on Friday is between o and 1. If it rains, a value of one is attached to the event. If it doesn't a value of zero is attached to the event.

the probability it would snow is 0.07 or 7%. this is quite low. so, it is unlikely that it would snow

A board of length 7 divided by the quantity x minus 2 end of quantity meters was cut into two pieces. If one piece is 3 divided

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Length of other board $=\frac{4x+20}{x^{2} -4}$ metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of board = $\frac{7}{x-2}$ metres

Length of board was divided into two.

Length of one piece = $\frac{3}{x+2}$ metres

Let $l$ = length of the other board

Length of the other board = Length of board - Length of one piece

So, $l=\frac{7}{x-2}-\frac{3}{x+2}$

$l=\frac{7(x+2)-3(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)} \\\\l=\frac{7x+14-3x+6}{x^{2} -4} \\\\l=\frac{4x+20}{x^{2} -4}$

Thus, length of the other board $=\frac{4x+20}{x^{2} -4}$ metres

If there is a decrease in supply of goods and services while demand remains the same, prices tend to rise to a higher equilibrium price and a lower quantity of goods and services. The same inverse relationship holds for the demand for goods and services.
