For this case we have that the bread stick represents 1 unit.

Then half of a loaf of bread will be given by:

$\frac {1} {2}$

If that half is cut into 4 equal parts we have:

$\frac {\frac {1} {2}} {4} = \frac {1} {8}$

Thus, each part represents $\frac {1} {8}$ of the whole bread

Answer:

$\frac {1} {8}$

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Bag A: 30 cents per bag

Bag B: 31 cents per bag

In order to find Cents per bag divide the number of bags from the amount it costs.

Bag A: 6 ÷ 20 = 0.30

Bag B: 9.92 ÷ 32 = 0.31

An oil company is drilling for oil at three sites. According to geological tests, the probabilities of

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Probability of finding oil at site 1 is 0.30

Probability of finding oil at site 2 is 0.15

Probability of finding oil at site 3 is 0.20

Probability of Finding oil at all three sites

i.e. oil is present in all three sites simultaneously

$=0.3\times 0.15\times 0.20=0.009$

Probability of not finding oil at any of these sites $=(1-0.3)\cdot (1-0.15)\cdot (1-0.2)=0.476$

Complement of Finding oil at all three sites is equivalent to not finding the oil at all three sites

i.e. $A'\cap B'\cap C'$

Complement of not finding oil at any of the sites is equivalent to probability of finding oil at any of the given sites

$A\cup B' \cup C'$ or

$'\cup B \cup C'$ or

$A'\cup B' \cup C$

If the term of arthematic progression decrease in magnitude then common difference must be

Tpy6a [65]

We can say that if the term of arithmetic progression decrease in magnitude then the common difference must be <u>negative</u>.

An arithmetic progression is a sequence where every term is a sum of the previous term and a common difference.

If we suppose the first term of an arithmetic progression to be a, and the common difference to be d, then the arithmetic progression goes like this:

The first term, a₁ = a,

Second term, a₂ = a₁ + d = a + d,

Third term, a₃ = a₂ + d = a + 2d,

Fourth term, a₄ = a₃ + d = a + 3d, and it goes so on up to,

The n-th term, aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + d = a + (n - 1)d.

In the question, we are asked if the term of arithmetic progression decrease in magnitude then what can we say about the common difference.

As the magnitude of the term decreases, we can show that as:

The n-th term < The first term,

or, aₙ < a₁,

or, a + (n - 1)d < a,

or, a + (n - 1)d - a < a - a {Subtracting a from both sides},

or, (n - 1)d < 0.

Since, n > 1, (n - 1) > 0, thus we get the common difference, d < 0, that is, the common difference is negative.

Thus, we can say that if the term of arithmetic progression decrease in magnitude then the common difference must be <u>negative</u>.
