Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>1. As a fraction: 9/50</u>
  • <u>2. As a proportion: x/1 = 9/50</u>
  • <u>3. As a percentage: 18%</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

<u>1. As a fraction:</u>

Depart from the definition of probability: probability is the number of favoragle outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes:

  • Probability = number of movie-goers who say they watched a movie on Netflix this week / number of movie-goers that saw a movie this week

  • Probability = 9 / 50

<u>2. As a proportion:</u>

A proportion is the equality of two ratios. In this case you must set the ratio of people who say they watched it on Netflx, x, per every people who saw a movie this week, 1, equal to the ration 9 /50.

Hence, the proportion that shows the probability is:

  • x / 1 = 9 / 50

Where x is the probability.

<u>3. As a percentage</u>

You just have to multiply the probability by 100:

  • (9/50) × 100 = 18%

Gina is a certain age (g). Gina's older sister is twice Gina's age. Gina's brother is half Gina's age. The sum of their ages is
aliina [53]

Answer:

Gina is 12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

First,  we will have to write these statements mathematically and then solve.

Let Gina's age be x, let Gina's brother's age be y and let Gina's sister's age be z.

The second statement"Gina's older sister is twice Gina's age" can be mathematically written as: z =2 x ---------------------------(1)

The next statement "Gina's brother is half Gina's age" can be mathematically written as y = \frac{x}{2} ---------------------------------------(2)

Then the next statement "the sum of their ages is 42" can be mathematically written as: x + y + z = 42 ----------------------------(3)

We can now proceed to solve;

Substitute equation (1) and equation(2) into equation (3)

x + y + z = 42

x +  \frac{x}{2} + 2x = 42

Multiply through by 2

2x + x + 4x = 84

7x = 84

Divide both-side of the equation by 7

\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{84}{7}

x = 12

Therefore, Gina is 12 years old

andre [41]

Answer:

1. x = -7

2. x = 6/13

3. x = 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. x = 21 / -3

x = -7

2. 13x = 6

x = 6 / 13

x = 6/13

3. -12x = -7

x = -7 / -12

x = 7/12
