Answer:
5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
A common factor of 8 can be canceled from numerator and denominator.
40/56 = (5·8)/(7·8) = (5/7)·(8/8) = (5/7)·1 = 5/7
_____
Since you know your multiplication tables, you know that 40 and 56 are both multiples of 8.
__
If you don't know your multiplication tables, you can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers and divide each by that. The GCD can be found using Euclid's algorithm. For that, you divide the larger by the smaller and use the remainder as the new smaller number. The original smaller number is now the larger number. For these numbers, that looks like ...
56 ÷ 40 = 1 r 16
40 ÷ 16 = 2 r 8
16 ÷ 8 = 2 r 0 . . . . . the zero remainder signals that the divisor (8) is the GCD
Now, your fraction is ...
(40/8) / (56/8) = 5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
With each draw, the probability of selecting a green marble is 2/3 and the probability of selecting a yellow marble is 1/3.
To pick two of the the same color, they can either pick green twice or yellow twice.
P = (2/3)(2/3) + (1/3)(1/3)
P = 5/9
To pick two different colors, they can either pick green first then yellow, or yellow first then green.
P = (2/3)(1/3) + (1/3)(2/3)
P = 4/9
Expected value for Derek is:
D = (5/9)(-1) + (4/9)(1)
D = -1/9
The expected value for Mia is:
M = (5/9)(1) + (4/9)(-1)
M = 1/9
The answer for the blank space is 21.8
The area is 70.2 meters because length times width equals area okay also there's a magical invention called a calculator that might be helpful in the future my friend
