Answer: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: Probability is the likelihood that an event will happen.

In this problem, we want to find the probability of rolling an odd number on a standard 6-sided die.

To find the probability of rolling an odd number on a 6-sided die, we first have to think about what numbers are on a standard die.

On a standard die, we have 3 odd numbers 1, 3, and 5 and 3 even numbers 2, 4, and 6.

Since there are an equal amount of even numbers and odd numbers on a standard die, we say the probability of rolling an odd number is 3 out of 6 or 3/6 since there are 3 odd numbers and 6 total outcomes we could get. The 6 total outcomes would be all the numbers on the die.

However, we have no 3/6 on the list so we can reduce this fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by 3 to get the equivalent fraction 1/3. Remember, always reduce when possible when finding probability.

Therefore, the probability of rolling an odd number on a standard 6-sided die is 1/3.

janelle wishes to finance a car for $33,000. the bank's annual interest rate is 3.5%, and she can choose between durations of fi

Harman [31]

Answer:

For a duration of 5 years, Monthly Payment =$600.42

For a duration of 6 years, Monthly Payment =$508.83

Step-by-step explanation:

$P=\dfrac{ar (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1} \\$

where a= Amount to Finance=$33,000

Annual interest rate = 3.5%=0.035

r=Monthly Interest Rate= 0.035 ÷ 12 = $\frac{7}{2400}$

n=number of months to pay

For a duration of 5 years

n=5X12=60 months

$P=\dfrac{ar (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1} \\\\P=\dfrac{33000 X\frac{7}{2400} (1+\frac{7}{2400} )^{60}}{(1+\frac{7}{2400})^{60}-1} \\=\dfrac{96.25 (1.1909)}{1.1909-1}\\=\dfrac{96.25 (1.1909)}{0.1909}\\=\dfrac{114.62}{0.1909}=\$600.42$

For a duration of 6 years

n=6X12=72 months

$P=\dfrac{ar (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1} \\\\P=\dfrac{33000 X\frac{7}{2400} (1+\frac{7}{2400} )^{72}}{(1+\frac{7}{2400})^{72}-1} \\=\dfrac{96.25 (1.2333)}{1.2333-1}\\=\dfrac{96.25 (1.2333)}{0.2333}\\=\dfrac{118.71}{0.2333}=\$508.83$

In a school there are 1000 boys and 800 girls. Calculate the percentage of boys and girls

Arisa [49]

Answer:

55.55%= boys & 44.44% = girl

Step-by-step explanation:

1000/(1000+800)=1000/1800=.5555 or 55.55% are boys

800/(1000+800)=800/1800=.4444 or 44.44% are girls.

Therefore, 55,55% are boys and 44.44% are girls.

What number could replace kkk below? \dfrac{k}{100} = \dfrac{1}{10} 100 k = 10 1 start fraction, k, divided by, 100, end fra

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation;

$\dfrac{k}{100} = \dfrac{1}{10}$

We are to find the value of k.

Cross multiply;

$\dfrac{k}{100} = \dfrac{1}{10} \\10 \times k = 100 \times 1\\10k = 100\\$

Divide both sides by 10

$10k/10 = 100/10\\k = 10$

Hence the value of k is 10

The clock was exactly on time at 7am at 1pm the clock was 228 seconds late at that rate how slow was the clock half an hour

yan [13]

Answer:

19 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the clock was exactly on time at 7am, and at 1pm the clock was 228 seconds late, to determine, at that rate, how slow was the clock half an hour, the following calculation must be performed:

1 PM = 13:00

13 - 7 = 6

228/6 = 38

38/2 = 19

Thus, every half hour the clock is delayed 19 seconds.
