Convert all fractions to have the same denominator. 

To convert, we must find the least common multiple of the two denominators of the fractions:

Multiples of 4: {4,8,12,16,20}
Multiples of 5: {5,10,15,20}

The least common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20. 

Multiply the fractions by a number that will result in the denominator being 20:

\frac{3}{4} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{15}{20}

\frac{2}{5} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{8}{20}

The equation should now look like this:

\frac{15}{20} = w + \frac{8}{20}

Subtract both sides by 8/20 to get w by itself:

\frac{15}{20} - \frac{8}{20} = \frac{7}{20}

w = \frac{7}{20}

The value of w is 7/20.

First, you subtract 2/5 from 3/4 
To do this you must make them have a common denominator.
This is simple just multiply the top and bottom by the other factors denominator.

\frac{3*5}{4*5} = \frac{15}{20} 
\frac{2*4}{5*4} = \frac{8}{20}
Now just subtract 15-8 and get \frac{7}{20}
which cannot simplify so w=\frac{7}{20}

Answer:

A. 103 degrees

B. 77 degrees

C. 60 Degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Triangles' interior angles add up to 180, so if you already have 2 angles you just need to put them together, and subtract them from 180.

47+30=77

180-77=103

B. Lines also are 180, so 103-180=77

C. Interior angles of a triangle add up to 180, so 180/3 is how you get your answer.

jasmine and waldo went bowling if you took 12 points away from Waldo's score, jasmines score was 3 times that if the sum of thei
Mademuasel [1]

<u>Answer:</u> Jasmine's score is given by

3(x-12)=3(99-12)=3\times 87=261

And Waldo's score = 99

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

Let Waldo's score be x

Let Jasmine's score be 3(x-12)

According to question,

x+3(x-12)=360\\\\x+3x-36=360\\\\4x-36=360\\\\4x=360+36\\\\4x=396\\\\x=\frac{396}{4}\\\\x=99

So,

Jasmine's score is given by

3(x-12)=3(99-12)=3\times 87=261

And Waldo's score = 99

a traffic study has shown that the probability that 55 cars will pass over a small bridge in a 4-4-minute period is 0.16.0.16. w
sergiy2304 [10]

Final answer:

The odds against exactly 5 cars passing over the bridge in that time is calculated as 4:21

<h3>Why don't we use probability instead of odds ?</h3>

A probability must be between 0 and 1 (nothing can happen with a greater than 100% likelihood). The chances are not as limited. Odds can be any positive number; for example, a chance of 2/3 is equivalent to odds of 2/1. By simply dividing the favorable number of possibilities by the entire number of possible outcomes, the probability of an occurrence can be determined using the probability formula.

By dividing the odds in the first group by the odds in the second group, the odds ratio is calculated. For many clinicians, odds and odds ratios are difficult to comprehend. Odds are calculated by dividing the likelihood of an event happening by the probability that it won't.
